Summary/Abstract

If current trends continue, the trade relationship between Ethiopia and India will continue to grow in importance. As its economy modernises and exports increase, Ethiopia will send a steadily larger number of products. Through its EXIM bank, India has made several significant investments in the Ethiopian state-run sugar industry and in reconnecting Addis Ababa and Djibouti by rail. Indian FDI into Ethiopia has also grown in recent years as Indian companies take advantage of fire-sale land rates and tax holidays.

Summary/Abstract

It has long been recognised that the actors involved in crafting and implementing China's foreign policy are not always in agreement. This paper argues that the prioritisation of commercial outreach over purely political objectives in Africa has led to a shift in influence from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM). To that end, the paper examines the rising prominence of China Exim Bank's concessional loans as a foreign policy instrument in Africa along with the process through which they are negotiated and implemented. Using the case of Angola, this paper shows how despite formal institutional equality, the MOFCOM is playing a far more influential role than the MFA is in defining the direction of China's foreign policy toward Africa.
