Chinese Overseas Ports in Africa and the Middle East examines Chinese âinvolvedâ seaports overseas, where involvement can take the form of foreign direct investment (FDI), the construction of a terminal or special economic zone (SEZ) and/or terminal operations in countries such as Djibouti, Tanzania, and Oman.

The country-oriented chapters shed light on issues such as the materialization (or not) of Chinese ports, the effects of project realization on inter alia port performance, trade, and job creation, and, to a lesser extent, the wider implications of Chinaâs presence. The book also addresses why Chinese seaports succeed or fail and why they have the consequences they do.

As an in-depth treatment of Chinaâs footprint in African and Middle Eastern seaports which examines Chinaâs overseas ports policy and policymaking, this book will be essential reading for students, scholars, and policy-makers interested in FDI, geopolitics, infrastructure, maritime issues, and national security.
