He recently authored a piece, "China and the Changing Context of Development in Sudan," for the journal Development. Europe and America have tended to regard China as the Great Hope or the Great Demon, moving historically between binary projections of China as an enlightened model to learn from or as an example to avoid.

Alden is the author of the acclaimed China in Africa, part of the African Arguments series to which Alex de Waal's book on Darfur, written with Julie Flint, also belongs. Steven Spielberg's decision to publicly withdrawal from his post as artistic director of the Beijing Olympics has reignited a simmering debate as to China's relationship with the Sudanese government and its role in the troubled Darfur region. In what appears to be a carefully worded statement, Spielberg acknowledges that while the Sudanese government bore the 'bulk of the responsibility' for crimes in Darfur, the 'international community and China in particular should be doing more' [...]]]> http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/darfur/2008/02/20/can-hollywood-save-darfur/feed/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/darfur/2008/02/15/430/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/darfur/2008/02/15/430/#comments Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:13:41 +0000 admin http://www.ssrc.org/blog/2008/02/15/430/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/darfur/2008/02/15/430/feed/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/darfur/2007/11/15/alex-de-waal-to-appear-on-frontline-nov-20/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/darfur/2007/11/15/alex-de-waal-to-appear-on-frontline-nov-20/#comments Thu, 15 Nov 2007 21:45:51 +0000 Mary-Lea Cox http://www.ssrc.org/blog/2007/11/15/alex-de-waal-to-appear-on-frontline-nov-20/ New York magazine gives a shout-out to a next week's Frontline program, "On Our Watch."
