What kinds of African studies programs are offered at ZNU?
The Institute of African Studies at Zhejiang Normal University (IASZNU) is the first institute for comprehensive African studies among Chinese universities. Headed by Professor Liu Hongwu, a well-known African studies specialist, it consists of the Center for African Political and International Relations, the Center for African Economic Studies, the Center for African Educational Studies, the Center for African Historical and Cultural Studies, the Center for FOCAC(Forum on China-Africa Cooperation) Studies, and the African Museum.
We set up a website (http://ias.zjnu.cn) in five languages, including Chinese, English, French, Hausa and Swahili. The institute’s many high-level research projects have proposed suggestions that have been adopted by the Chinese Government. The Ministry of Education (MOE) says IASZNU has “become China’s base for African studies and consulting services.”
What kinds of exchange is IASZNU involved with at home and abroad?
IASZNU works closely with other domestic research institues on Africa, and has carried out joint research and graduate programs with think tanks and universities from over 20 African countries. Erastus Mwencha, Vice President of the African Union Commission, and many officials from other international organizations and think tanks visit our institute. We have conducted joint research projects with African scholars in the fields of politics and security, China-Africa economic and trade cooperation, [and] education and human resources development.
