In order to refute or corroborate these hypotheses, the dissertation uses a comparative method that combines qualitative and quantitative data from history, development economics and International Relations main paradigms. The findings partly corroborate the thesis hypotheses by unveiling the dualistic nature of French and Chinese aid strategies: they are both realists in the core, and idealists in the peripheries. This instigates more positive than negative inputs to Côte d’Ivoire’s economic development, secures natural resources/new markets for China’s ongoing domestic development and impulses French and multilateral aid trends.
