China and Brazil in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the rebirth of the national question

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the relations of China and Brazil, with sub- Saharan Africa. It is not, however, focus on the evolution of the relationship itself, but how this new axis of interaction has taken over the national question. The central argument is that emerging countries, to promote the sovereignty and development on the African continent, have had a performance that does not fit the concept of (sub)imperialism. In other words, the South-South relations and
the resumption of the national question have been precisely the alternative to peripheral countries before the picture of forces emerged in the Post-Cold War.
