Abstract: Abstract: Africa is an ancient continents wide range of latitude, where are many emerging economics. With the enhancement of traditional relationship between China and lots of African countries, the situation of China - Africa bilateral economic cooperation engage attentions from all over world. In order to figure out the characters of development of African economy and give the reference for multi-party cooperation, this paper concentrates on regional economic unequal developments in Africa. Based on the data of population and GDP, using Theil index mainly, in the consideration of industrial structure，the paper studies the regulation of spatial and temporal evolvement of regional economic disparities in five different region in Africa .At present, its most features are that :(1) The regional economic disparities in Africa is decreasing from 2004 to 2012.The curve of Theil index show “up-down-up”.(2)It is increasingly obvious that North Africa Region and South Africa Region have been economic centers in African continent among five regions .The among-region disparity is increasingly unremarkable, While the inter-region disparity components are main stream, which is the most significant contribution of regional economic disparity. The inter-region disparity in South Africa Region is largest share of the inter-region disparity in Africa, followed by Nouth Africa Region and Central Africa Region (3) The influence of economic crisis is a mirror of industrial structure of regional economy. Political environment, which can not be ignored, affect economy directly or indirectly. The disparities of industrial structure and political turbulence play a important role in regional economic disparities.

摘要： 摘要：非洲地区区域跨度大，社会经济发展不平衡。以空间地理区位划分的五大区域为研究对象，利用泰尔指数对非洲南非、北非、中非、西非和东非地区的进行差异性研究，结合各地区产业结构，分析区域经济时空变化的原因，发现：（1）2004年—2012年，非洲区域总体经济差异呈现下降趋势，年际变化呈现出“减—增—减”的波动；（2）区域内差异是影响区域总体差异的主导因素，其中南非地区内部差异贡献最大（3）各地区国家之间产业结构的差异与政治环境的变化影响着区域经济发展差异。
