Influential but Unwanted
Comparative studies of foreign direct investment (FDI) infrequently consider how FDI projects from rival powers are evaluated by local citizens. Research also does not explicitly distinguish the influence from the affinity that accrues to investing countries. Recognizing the importance of both influence and affinity, this study examines how citizens react when firms from major foreign powers – and from their prominent rival – invest locally. Usin…
Economic Benefactor or Risky Dependence? Ambivalence in China–Brazil Agribusiness Ties
China's growing economic presence in developing countries raises important questions about the political impact of its activity in those countries, and its interaction with domestic politics. This issue is highly salient in Brazil, where trade ties with China have deepened considerably in recent years in tandem with rising anti-China sentiment on the political right. This study examines how Brazilian right-wing agribusiness elites reconcile the e…
The Ties that Bind
Is China-Taiwan Rapprochement Possible? Experimental Evidence From Taiwan
Any peaceful resolution to the Cross-Strait conflict between China and Taiwan is likely to be composed of give-and-take between the two sides, and any agreement will ultimately require the support of Taiwan’s citizens, by whom Taiwan’s leaders are held accountable. Yet little is known about the actual tradeoffs Taiwanese citizens are willing to make in pursuit of an agreement in a time of peace. In conjoint experiments fielded in Taiwan in April …
China's New Business Elite
Do China’s Foreign Economic Ties Lead to Influence Abroad? New Evidence from Recent Events
Do China’s growing foreign economic ties translate into political influence abroad? We identify issues about which China cares deeply, and assess whether increased economic ties correlate with greater expressed support for Chinese activities on these issues. We collect new data to measure how countries have responded to China’s implementation of a National Security Law for Hong Kong, and recent policies in Xinjiang. We find that countries with cl…
China's Party-State Capitalism and International Backlash
Contrary to expectations, economic interdependence has not tempered security conflict between China and the United States. In response to perceived domestic and external threats, the Chinese Communist Party's actions to ensure regime security have generated insecurity in other states, causing them to adopt measures to constrain Chinese firms. Security dilemma dynamics best explain the subsequent reactions from many advanced industrialized countri…
Static Electricity
China’s “economic juggernaut” is often noted to have arisen from successful market reforms carried out in the context of high state capacity. In contrast, we demonstrate that crucial reforms to replace central planning with markets have stalled as a result of major barriers of two types: institutional and ideational. Focusing on the electricity sector, we find that market reforms pushed by China’s central government are hindered by deep inefficie…
Foreign Direct Investment, Unmet Expectations, and the Prospects of Political Leaders
Leaders in the developing world typically value inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI), on the logic that FDI bolsters economic development and signals competence to voters. Yet the promise of new jobs and other benefits may outstrip the supply, leaving many disappointed. We present a theory of unmet expectations and political blame, which we test by connecting 223 georeferenced Chinese FDI projects to the political-economic perceptions of 17…
Party-State Capitalism in China
China’s economic model, commonly described as “state capitalist,” is now better characterized as party-state capitalism, in which the political survival of the Communist Party trumps developmental goals. Its tools for managing the economy include not only state ownership and market interventions, but increasing use of party-state power to discipline private capital. China’s entrepreneurs are now expected to adhere to the party line, as are foreig…

Exploring the Parameters of China’s Economic Influence
China and Global Governance
US policy toward the People's Republic of China (PRC) has come under increasing attack in Washington, as a growing chorus of analysts paints the PRC has a revisionist power seeking to undercut existing multilateral institutions. We observe, however, that China's approach to multilateralism varies across different issue areas, and we argue and show that China's approach differs depending on the strategic landscape of any given context. We conclude…
China's Strategic Multilateralism
China's Hybrid Adaptive Bureaucracy
Portrayals of China's bureaucratic behavior tend to emphasize either streamlined central control via top‐down directives emanating from a Leninist system, or a highly fragmented organization characterized by continuous horizontal bargaining. While both views have merit, they miss important but little‐recognized dynamics of Chinese bureaucratic behavior. Examination of the 30‐year evolution of a single organization, China's 863 Program, allows us …
Invest, Hold Up, or Accept?China in Multilateral Governance
China has played an inconsistent role in multilateral governance, sometimes contributing to the creation and maintenance of international regimes, sometimes free riding or even threatening to undermine multilateral regimes to improve its position. We show that the strategic context of a particular issue of international concern affects China's approach to multilateralism and argue that our approach adds additional leverage to existing theories th…
Killing a Chicken to Scare the Monkeys? Deterrence Failure and Local Defiance In China
Why do local officials in China often fail to comply with directives of the central leadership in Beijing? Existing scholarship suggests that local defiance results from reform-era decentralization, or from the difficulty of managing agents in a complicated policy environment. In contrast, we conceptualize threats by Beijing to punish local officials as deterrence signals, and analyze local officials’ reactions to these signals as a dynamic proce…
Introduction – IPE with China's characteristics
This article serves as an introduction to the five articles submitted for the special issue on IPE in China. In addition to summarizing the special issue articles on key themes in IPE, we outline the genesis of IPE as a field of study inside China, detail the core characteristics of Chinese IPE, as seen in this special issue, and consider the limits of the development of Chinese IPE to date. Finally, we provide a road map for the development of t…
Globalization and the role of the state
China's rapid integration into the global economy has had undeniable implications for the Chinese state – it raises questions about how the state has simultaneously encouraged globalization and, at the same time, tried to control for globalization's impact on China's economy, its culture, and on state policy and the state itself. These implications have not been lost on PRC-based scholars of international and comparative political economy, who ha…
Domestic Institutional Constraints on China's Leadership in East Asian Economic Cooperation Mechanisms
The study of Chinese foreign policy has long shown that domestic politics and domestic constraints are sources of foreign policy, albeit generally considered less potent than ideology and interests. Domestic political constraints should also be explored as factors in Chinese regional policies toward East Asia, including regional economic institutions. This paper examines three domestic institutional constraints on regional foreign policy in the a…

Contagious Capitalism: Globalization and the Politics of Labor in China. By Mary Elizabeth Gallagher. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. 256p. $47.50 cloth, $18.95 paper. One of the most pressing issues to be addressed with regard to the politics of the People's Republic of China is authoritarian resilience in the face of substantial market reform. Structural Marxism, modernization theory, and transition theory all lead us to expect tha…
The Politics of China's Accession to the World Trade Organization
Governing the Chinese Economy
Pursuant to its extensive program of market reforms, China’s government tried to restructure itself to support a market‐dominated economy. Reform efforts have included elements that are familiar to scholars of public administration: streamlining government, strengthening bureaucratic capacity, distancing government from firms, and establishing independent regulators. But how deep have these reforms been, and with what ultimate goals? This article…
The Business of Governing Business in China
China began to establish markets a quarter century ago, but only in the last decade has its government made a concerted effort to design new institutions to govern them. Hence, a “regulatory state” is emerging. The prevailing literature focuses on a seeming convergence of Chinas institutions with the dominant global model of the “independent regulator,” including the establishment of new regulatory commissions. Yet research on China's strategic i…

China's New Business Elite
China's New Business Elite
This study examines the transition from a planned to a market economy that began in China in the late 1970s and which unleashed a series of changes: private enterprises and foreign investment have grown, the standard of living has improved, and corruption has increased. Another result of economic reform has been the creation of a new class - China's new business elite. The text analyzes the impact that this new class is having on China's politics…
