This book offers a new alternative to understanding the relationship between China and Africa. Here, the author not only explores the changing nature of Ethiopias internal politics as a result of Chinese investment and commercial links, but also compellingly questions the existing state-centric macro or strategic investigation of China-Africa relations. By thoroughly reviewing and deploying the second image reversed approach and the relational concept of state power analytical approaches, Ziso challenges the Western-centric Weberian conceptualization of state. This volume presents an eclectic approach to interpret the state transformation in Ethiopia in light of Chinese capital, arguing for a state in society framework which does not treat the state as a unitary black box. This analysis challenges the conventional binary staple which is often framed on whether China is the new imperialist power plundering Africas resources or is Africas historically all-weather friend. This volume offers an original contribution to knowledge on Chinas relations with Ethiopia in particular, and with Africa in general.
