In this book, Barney Walsh presents an in-depth study of Chinas involvement in East Africa through specific focus on President Museveni of Uganda who has been uniquely influential in utilising Chinas presence to shape regional security dynamics in his favour. Focussing primarily on the period 20102015, Walsh places the spotlight on the Coalition of the Willing formed between Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda, who undertook high-profile, exciting but controversial regional integration projects without Tanzania and Burundi. Key to those efforts were Chinese-funded mega-infrastructure projects, such as the Standard Gauge Railway and Ugandas oil pipeline. Walshs analysis of the East African Community (EAC) reveals Chinas role in ongoing security issues related to terrorism, resulting from the countrys role in small arms and light weapons (SALW) proliferation and the global ivory trade. Additionally, China is heavily implicated in the regions oil sector, as it is a market for oil, involved in developing the sector, and a key partner in mega-infrastructure construction. Throughout this, though the EAC as an institution has been trying to stabilise regional security dynamics and strengthen its institutional role, it has been unduly influenced by the personalities and presence of key African leaders. Here, Musevenis role in such processes has been crucial, as he has made great efforts to utilise Chinese engagement in order to shape regional processes.

The crux of this book provides significant insights into how Uganda, specifically its long-ruling leader, has engaged Chinese actors. It is impressive for its collection of evidence from several vital players in the countrys political ecosystem and...the authors desire to unpack China and not present it as a monolithic force. * Modern Africa: Politics, History and Society *
