‘I see this Handbook as a reference work for those who wish to understand China’s expanding role in development projects around the world and the motivations and implications of these interventions. The set of authors who contribute to the book not only present instigating insights but also generate deep reflections that can sustain a research agenda with China as a central actor.’
