摘要
As Africa's foremost emerging market Angola is receiving increasing recognition for its oil wealth, leading to attempts to engage it as a strategic partner, especially amongst the rising powers. In particular, there has been considerable escalation in development cooperation between Angola and China recently, though relatively little is known about the precise terms of this partnership despite China's key role in Angola's post-conflict reconstruction. The growing importance of Chinese credit lines and increasing presence of Chinese corporate agencies across Angolan territory raise important questions about development, poverty reduction and inequality; governance and labour relations; and Angola's institutional capacity and the social structure of its cities. This paper critically examines the specific outcomes of Angola's partnership with China along with the hybrid conceptions and tangled geographies of development produced as a result. In particular, it seeks to interrogate the visions of Angola's future articulated by the Angolan state and the reference points and models of development that they draw upon.
