Abstract

Role theory was applied to analysis of the interaction process of various actors engaged in a Chinese aid project in Africa to explore who drove the implementation process and to reveal the hidden logic of China's foreign aid. The result revealed that the framework imposed by the State created space for actors from China and from Africa to exert agency to achieve common goals. The interaction process was constructed through role consolidation and concessions of different actors, which indicates that the project implementation was not driven by one side but rather by the mutual adaptation of the various actors involved. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
