- Summary:
- Running like a red thread through this book are the manifestations of Sino-African relations dating back many centuries. In this way, "The Rise and Decline and Rise of China: Searching for an Organising Philosophy" takes forward the work MISTRA conducted on the Mapungubwe society, one of the advanced states that existed in southern Africa some 800 years ago. What makes this research report unique, though, is that the treatment of these issues has been undertaken primarily from an African perspective.
