'Human Rights - China and the United States in Africa'

In this presentation, Augustine Hungwe will look will look at contesting perceptions of human rights between China (the 'Beijing Consensus') and the United States("the Washington Consensus'') in Africa and will cite relevant examples to highlight this emerging trajectory. The presentation will also give an African perspective to this emerging human rights discourse. The leading (Swahili) proverb in his presentation ('When two Elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers") already indicates the direction Augustine Hungwe will take.
