At a time when the influence from Global North has been on the wane in the continent, emerging powers are regarded as new inspirations for Africa’s development. China in particular tries to bolster multipolarity in Africa by factoring in media influence and facilitating the digitalization process of the continent. This book offers an up-to-date geopolitical analysis of China-Africa, examining the role of communication and telecommunication in the power shift, especially in constructing social and cultural realities in which the idea of “development” has been recurrently redefined and negotiated in the public domain. This volume tackles the issue from the new perspective of mediatization, considering how the media on the one hand shapes public opinion with its narratives and a logic of its own, and on the other hand simultaneously becomes an integrated part of other institutions like politics, trade, business as more of these institutional activities are performed through both interactive and mass media. 000801382 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000801382 650_0 $$aMass media$$zChina. 000801382 650_0 $$aMass media$$zAfrica. 000801382 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xForeign relations$$zChina. 000801382 651_0 $$aChina$$xForeign relations$$zAfrica. 000801382 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9811053812$$z9789811053818$$w(OCoLC)988282558 000801382 830_0 $$aPalgrave series in Asia and Pacific studies. 000801382 852__ $$bebk 000801382 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-10-5382-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000801382 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:801382$$pGLOBAL_SET 000801382 980__ $$aEBOOK 000801382 980__ $$aBIB 000801382 982__ $$aEbook 000801382 983__ $$aOnline 000801382 994__ $$a92$$bISE
