“China’s role in Africa’s development has faced abundant academic polemic in the last decade. This book proposes a welcome, balanced account of a fascinating facet of this story. … Stahl offers a powerful account of how the EU’s liberal bureaucratic institutions and diplomatic practices failed to cope with the rise of non-European development actors.” (Ueli Staeger, Journal of Common Market Studies JCMS, Vol. 56 (5), July, 2018)
