Abstract: In this idea paper, our team tries to create a framework through which one can begin to apply a comparable measurement to cases of China’s influence in Africa and other states in which it is investing. This Indicators of Influence model we propose could be of use not only in analyzing individual relationship cases, but serve as a comparison method for understanding China’s (or potentially another investing state’s) leverage within a given recipient country. Amid a rise in discourse about new forms of great power competition, suggestions of debt-traps and neo-colonialism contrasted with assertions of South-South cooperation and new models of development, the framework comes along at a useful time.
