IDS In Focus Policy Briefing 8 - China and Development: Lessons for and From the World

China's emergence as a major player on the development stage creates new opportunities for many developing countries but also potentially challenges some established practices of the development community. This series of In Focus Policy Briefings explores China's rise and its possible implications for international development and low income countries, in overview and across a series of specific areas (healthcare, low-carbon growth and sexuality).
