Directed Digital Dissidence in Autocracies: How China Wins Online
Organized Loyalty: A New State Ideology for China as a Global Power
Proposes a unique and original analytical framework centring on issues of anti-corruption, marketization and populism in China
The ordoliberal turn? Getting China and global economic governance right
In recent commentary on global economic governance seeking to explain the outcome of the huge recession of 2008, arguments abound about the remarkable staying power of American hegemony and the formidable resilience of the liberal international order. This somewhat myopic argument seriously neglects Sino-western collaboration – within the framework of what I contend is an ordoliberal turn. Two questions were posed. First, why was the US-led order…
The Unknown Terrain of Social Protests in China: ‘Exit', ‘Voice', ‘Loyalty', and ‘Shadow’
As many as 180,000 social protests may take place in China every year. How should we conceptualize and explain the widespread phenomenon of social protests that take place in a situation where civil society is generally described as contained? An investigation of the Wukan incident, a specific protest that caught worldwide attention in 2011, shed new light on this paradox. The findings theorized in line with Albert Hirschman's concepts of ‘voice'…
As China Returns: Perceptions of Land Grabbing and Spatial Power Relations in Mozambique
This article investigates how perceptions of China in Mozambican civil society are affected by entrepreneurial activity and bilateral cooperation between China and Mozambique - real, imagined, visible and legal as well as clandestine and illegal in the agricultural and forestry sectors. The research problem concerns how discourse on Chinese investors is formed in Mozambique. Two questions are posed. How does Mozambican civil society perceive thei…
Global Media for Global Citizenship in India and China
In the run‐up to the Beijing Olympics, many issues pertaining to ethnicity, nationalism, and global values were relevant. After the violent protests in Lhasa on March 14, 2008, once again it was ev
Chinese eyes on Africa: Authoritarian flexibility versus democratic governance
This article seeks to shed more light on the consequences of China's aid to and trade with African states. It attempts to answer two questions: First, does China's ‘no-strings-attached’ policy in Africa constitute a challenge to Western aid paradigms? Second, is there as an emerging state-sponsored Chinese model of ‘effective governance’, guided by a south-south vision of mutuality, equality and reciprocity at work? It is argued that China's Afri…
China's Online News Industry: Control Giving Way to Confucian Virtue
Internet Ideotainment in the PRC: National responses to cultural globalization
Political leaders and establishment intellectuals in China often claim that their country is experiencing challenges from the Internet that entail threats to traditional culture, Chinese youth, and existing value orientations and ideology. To meet the challenge, they argue, there is a need to re-think outdated strategies of propaganda. In this article, I coin the term ideotainment, which is helpful for understanding the underlying rationale and c…
The Techno-cadre's Dream: Administrative Reform by Electronic Governance in China Today
In this article the views and agenda of China's techno-cadres, that is, the top-level advisors planning and implementing e-government projects, are scrutinized. Their goals for Chinese e-government not only focus on electronic service delivery to business-the ambition is to make the authoritarian governing process less opaque to citizens. Just as the former Premier Zhu Rongji used the WTO agreement to push overall reform, reform-minded techno-cad…
