China's emerging security diplomacy in Africa[electronic resource] /by Isaac Owusu Frimpong. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2025. - xix, 215 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Locating africa in chinas quest for global superpower status -- Theoretical framework and dimensions of china africa engagement -- Africas contemporary strategic and security environment -- Chinas monroe doctrine in africa beijings military base in djibouti and its contribution to africas in security -- Chinese regional security engagement with the african union and the african peace and security architecture -- China and peacekeeping operations: a superpower bound by a multilateral organisation in africa.

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of China's evolving security engagement in Africa, a dimension often overshadowed by earlier studies focusing on economic and political aspects. As China's global ambitions expand, its involvement in African security-across bilateral, regional, and multilateral levels has intensified, challenging its longstanding principle of non-interference. The book explores why China is shifting from a policy of non-interference to one of 'non-indifference' and details the actions supporting this change. Employing neoclassical realist theory, it examines systemic factors, domestic influences, and the role of President Xi Jinping in shaping China's security strategy. By adopting a three-dimensional approach to Sino-Africa relations and categorizing the reasons for China's policy shift into strategic culture, superpower ambitions, operational motives, and reputational concerns, the book offers fresh insights into China's security diplomacy. It contributes to the broader discourse on China's changing stance and its implications for international relations, highlighting the need for attention in both academic and policy circles.
