Please join the USC U.S.-China Institute for a book talk by Deborah Brautigam, one of the world's leading experts on China and Africa. Will Africa Feed China? explores China's evolving global quest for food security and Africa's possibilities for structural transformation.
What: Will Africa Feed China?
Who: Deborah Brautigam and Shaun Breslin
When: Thursday, February 18, 4-5:30pm
Where: ASC 207, Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, USC Campus
Cost: Free.
Is China building a new empire in rural Africa? Few development topics are as controversial and emotionally charged as the belief that the Chinese government is aggressively buying up huge tracts of prime African land to grow food to ship back to China. In Will Africa Feed China? Deborah Bräutigam, one of the world's leading experts on China and Africa, probes the myths and realities behind the media headlines. Chinese farming investments are in fact surprisingly limited, and land acquisitions modest. Defying expectations, China actually exports more food to Africa than it imports. Why is the reality of Chinese investment so different from the headlines? Is this picture likely to change? What role will China play as rural Africa moves from subsistence to commercial agriculture, and China builds a portfolio of tools to allow its agribusiness firms to "go global"?
Will Africa Feed China? answers these questions as it sheds new light on China's evolving global quest for food security and Africa's possibilities for structural transformation.
Presenter: Deborah Brautigam is the Bernard L. Schwartz Professor of Political Economy, Director of the International Development Program, and Director of the China Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. Her most recent books are The Dragon's Gift: The Real Story of China in Africa (2010) and Will Africa Feed China? (2015). Before joining SAIS in 2012, she taught at Columbia University and American University. Bräutigam's teaching and research focus on international development strategies, governance, and foreign aid. Journalists, government agencies, and international organizations frequently turn to her for analysis and advice.
Discussant: Shaun Breslin is professor of politics and international studies at the University of Warwick. His books include China and the Global Political Economy (2007), Mao (2000), and China in the 1980s: Centre-Province Relations in a Reforming Socialist State (1996). He's also the editor of a number of books and has written recently on Chinese ideas on human security. He is frequently cited in the press and among his op-eds is one on Chinese leader Xi Jinping's 2015 visit to the United States.

Know China! Saturday Cultural Classes
The Silk Roads: East-West Exchange: Silk, Paper, and Porcelain
Schedule: Saturday, March 5th, 10:00 am-12:00 pm
Tickets: 1 Child: $25; 1 Child + 1 Adult: $35
Location: 40 Rector Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10006
The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean. Over the centuries, the Silk Roads were an important conduit for the exchange of products and technologies from China to the West. These exchanges were critical not only for the development and flowering of the great civilizations of Rome, China, and India, but they laid the foundations of our modern world. Silk, paper, and porcelain were three of the most sophisticated products of pre-modern technology. The class will evaluate the importance of these three products as elements in cultural diffusion along the Silk Roads, and each student will make their own paper and bring it home!
