Given the scale and breadth of its political and economic involvement in Africa, some Western scholars claim that China＇s ＂return to Africa＂ has been one of the most important developments the region has witnessed in the past two decades. One phenomenon worthy of particular attention is that, other than strengthening economic ties with African states, China has been playing a more active role in helping promote peace and stability on the continent. In other words, Sino-Afi-ican coordination on security-related issues has been intensified since the end of the Cold War. What kind of role has China been playing or sought to play in this area？ What factors have motivated China to engage more actively in African security affairs？ And are there any challenges Beijing has to face when pursuing common security interests with its African counterparts？ Seeking to provide preliminary answers to these questions, this article mainly investigates China＇s increasing role in promoting peace and safeguarding security in Africa.展开更多

It means a nation's ability to get others to do what it wants without either coercive military or economic pressures, or material inducements. It is the attractiveness and seduction, the resources of which include culture, values, political ideas and policies. During the past two decades, the soft power concept has gained widespread acceptance and usage. In a global information age and in a multi-polarized world, the US government has all along attached much importance to the exercise of soft power in foreign policies. It goes to great lengths to advance its universal culture and values, promote public diplomacy, and shape the world order by helping establish the international institutions and norms. The US government draws on the resources of soft power to improve the national image and thus promote its popularity across the world with a view to serving the national interests. The idea of soft power improves the traditional concept of power, enriches the practice of the US diplomacy. However, we shouldn't fail to see that it is based on US superiority with the ultimate goal of achieving US hegemony. But still we can learn something from the concept and introduce it into our policies.展开更多
