    Masters Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject African Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, Grenoble Ecole de Management, course: International Business, language: English, abstract: In the present 21st century the global distribution of power among countries seems to be changing.

A demonstration of such claim could be seen in the media on October 1st 2009 when China was celebrating the 60th anniversary of the finding of its Peoples Republic in the form of the biggest military parade ever. In order to turn this signal of a new global distribution of power into reality, China can not solely rely on a strong economy but needs to establish international political ties too. One reason concerns the geological structure of the largest Asian country because it can be considered to be poor in natural resources. As a result it needs to secure its economy by importing those and hence in the search for international partners it decided to focus also on the African continent.
