Economic statecraft in the New Cold War: The US and China’s competing strategies in Ethiopian industrial parks
African agency and China’s influence: Egypt and Morocco human rights preferences at the United Nations
China’s economic and trade cooperation zones in Africa: From static model emulation to dynamic learning
This article explores the intricacies of replicating China’s structural economic transformation through special economic zones (SEZs) in Africa, with a focus on the Eastern Industry Zone (EIZ) in Ethiopia. Combining insights from empirical research and the literature on China’s development model, African SEZs and Chinese economic and trade cooperation zones (ETCZs) in Africa, we contend that while static industrialisation policies can be transpos…
The BRI: A new development cooperation paradigm in the making? Unpacking China’s infrastructure cooperation along the Maritime Silk Road
Knowledge Transfer in the Global South: Reusing or Creating Knowledge in China’s Special Economic Zones in Ethiopia and Cambodia
Chinese special economic zones (SEZs) have played a key role in attracting massive foreign investment and in facilitating knowledge and technology transfer to local companies. This explains the mushrooming of Chinese‐led SEZs and industrial parks in parts of Southeast Asia and Africa since the early 2000s, and more recently its prominence in the planning of the economic corridors along the Belt and Road Initiative. Our interest in SEZs derives fr…
China’s BRI developmental agency in its own words: A content analysis of key policy documents
China’s Regional Forum Diplomacy in the Developing World: Socialisation and the ‘Sinosphere’
This article examines Chinese-led regional forums in the developing world where the Chinese preponderance of economic power is self-evident, its financial largesse is readily utilised to sustain these endeavours, its bureaucracies are empowered to guide the conduct of institutional activities, and its normative intentions and interests are given fullest expression.This assessment of two such Chinese-instigated regional forums in the developing wo…
Chinese Economic Statecraft: A Comparative Study of China's Oil-backed Loans in Angola and Brazil
Africa's and South America's rich endowments of resources and great need for infrastructure development make them perfect candidates for China's “infrastructure-for-resources” loans. Over the past decade, such an arrangement for pursuing China's resource-security goals overseas – namely, securing long-term supply contracts and accessing exploration rights – has proved more effective in Africa than in South America. This article discusses the reas…
China's 'win-win' cooperation: Unpacking the impact of infrastructure-for-resources deals in Africa
This paper discusses China's use of infrastructure-for-resources loans in Africa as a win–win economic cooperation tool. This formula, offering generous loans for infrastructure in exchange for resource access, came into being largely as a default cooperation tool, inspired by China's own domestic experience, its competitive advantages and Africa's receptivity to this kind of barter deal. Embodying the principle of mutual benefit, China has consi…
La Chine et les ressources naturelles de l'Afrique
China's energy concerns are playing an increasingly critical role in China's foreign policy as it intensifies its quest for supply sources overseas. Resource rich developing regions have been the main targets in this regard, in particular the African continent. \nThe lion's share of Chinese imports from Africa are commodities. Despite oil being the major import from the continent, imports of other minerals such as cobalt, manganese, copper and ir…
History & Identity in the Construction of China's Africa Policy
One of the most notable features of the forging of China's new activist foreign policy towards Africa is its emphasis on the historical context of the relationship. These invocations of the past, stretching back to the 15th century but rife with references to events in the 19th century and the cold war period, are regular features of Chinese diplomacy in Africa. Indeed, it is the persistence of its use and the concurrent claim of a continuity of …
Além do ocidente, além do estado e muito além da moral: Por uma política eticamente responsável em relação à diferença - o caso Ruandês
A partir de uma abordagem pós-moderna/pós-estruturalista em relações internacionais, o presente artigo tem por objetivo fazer uma análise da decisão tomada pela Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) em 21 de abril de 1994 sobre o estabelecimento da Unamir como resposta à violência em Ruanda naquele momento. A ênfase recai sobre a avaliação da responsabilidade ética da organização, à luz da rearticulação radical dos conceitos de ética, responsabilid…
