Internationalisation of capital Gonzalez-Vicente: “Internationalisation of the

Chinese

state” Glassman: “internationalisation of clases of capitalist society” Bryan “… nation state ensures… the reproduction the class relations of capitalism”4

Slide5

Framework (cont.)

2. International Political EconomyIs South-South co-operation a ‘win-win’ arrangementGlobalisation with Chinese

charactersistics

Are there winners only?

Or are there losers as well? Who wins, who loses?5

Slide6

Findings

Chinese offshore SEZ policy-making is strategic

(

Ethiopia

is Africa-strategic diplomatically and politically)Spread of soft power Overprotection of State Owned Enterprises in China Resistance/restriction of foreign firms in ChinaChinese firms relocate to Africa and establish SEZ for their own survivalEthiopia and China

too

weak

(

politically

and

institutionally

) to

negotiate

better

deals with China

Slide7

Findings cont.

South-South co-operation is very much elite-based (fractions of capital) linked politically, state-state (Communist parties)A challenging new frontier of governancePublic sector/private sector paradoxShare of local investors is very low

Slide8

Some implications

ChinaDomestic pressure at home of soiled image abroad?Inefficient enterprises due to overprotection

Export of jobs abroad

‘Win-win’ not guaranteed but either way, China ‘wins’

China will always not want a common African position towards Beijing (hypothesis)8

Slide9

Ethiopia/Zambia

No accountability in the case of SEZ failureReal economic benefits continue to accrue to those in the ‘big tent’Private sector blurred

Democratisation of the state compromised (not a priority)

Positives like technology transfer but still minimum benefit
