Monografia Acesso aberto O lugar da África nas disputas hegemônicas: as relações entre África e China(2017) Anfilóquio, Érica FernandesThe international system since the Congress of Westphalia (1648) is marked by declines and ascensions of hegemony and brings to the new 21st century great prospects regarding new rising economies, among them China. This country has strengthened mainly from the second half of the 20th century, and it is today a great economic power. Since its Revolution (1949), China has sought support in the "non-aligned" countries, the so-called Third World countries, such as the African countries. The Bandung Conference (1955) was the beginning of an intense struggle between the Asian and African countries in the search for independence, being one of the great pillars of the current Sino-African relations. China's "peaceful" economic rise since 1970, especially when the Chinese Communist government invested heavily in its economy, is what brings up the discussion of a possible decline in US hegemony. The African continent, whose countries are rich in natural resources, many of which are essential to maintain the economies of the countries, have long been targets of the interests of the developed countries and, currently, the Sino-African relations and the growing Chinese interest in these resources, collide with the United States' need to maintain hegemonic control. In order to understand the Sino-African relationship of today and understand the Chinese interest in Africa since the Bandung Conference, it is necessary to understand how this relationship have been formed, in order to understand the place of Africa amid the disputes between powers. Thus, in addition to the history of these countries and the African continent, the concepts of hegemony and imperialism today will be taken into account.
