      abstract = {This is a timely addition to the literature on Chinas  economic relations with African countries, as hopes have  run high that Chinese investments will kick-start Africas  industrialisation. The volume shows that foreign capital  might be a necessary but not a sufficient condition for the  structural transformation of African economies, making it  an insightful read sadly the last one co-edited by Ian  Taylor. Tim Zajontz, Lecturer in Global Political Economy,  University of Freiburg This is a much-needed book in the  China-Africa space and the larger field of African  Political Economy. The book comprehensively contextualises  and analyses Chinese FDI in Africa within the context of  the continents pursuit of structural economic  transformation. Underpinned by robust research and  insightful case studies that provide valuable perspectives,  it is a must-read for scholars, researchers, policymakers,  and practitioners. Mandira Bagwandeen, University of Cape  Town What are the impacts of Chinese investment in Africa?  Is it transforming economic development on the continent?  This book is different from many other studies of this  issue, as it unpacks the black box of technological and  learning spillover effects from Chinese firms to others.  Rather than using econometric tools, which has now become a  standard approach and come with their own set of  challenges, the authors investigate the interactions  between Chinese investors and African firms in terms of the  transfer of technology and learning and explain why such  interactions are rare. Only by understanding the reasons  behind this rarity can approaches be developed to promote  spillovers.
