Go east? The political economy of China and the future of South-North relations. A workshop with Li Minqi (University of Utah) and Dorothy Guerrero (Global Justice Now, London)
Sprache des Titels:
Englisch
Original Kurzfassung:
China is one of the most important creditors of the global South and invests in all continents. Investments range from mining and infrastructure to manufacturing. The discussion about the impact of China?s outward investment on the prospect of development abounds. While some argue that the global South will benefit, others claim that China replicates the practice of traditional core countries.
This workshop will convene a conversation about the new dynamics of cooperation and conflict, driven by the rise of China. Our special focus is on rivalries, dependencies and uneven development in the region and beyond.
We will explore the following questions:
- What is the driver for China`s capital export?
- Is China an ?alternative globalizer?, creating a new context of development, or does it repeat old patterns of colonial exploitation?
- China is the center of manufacturing exports in the global economy. Is this growth model sustainable?
- What are spatial, social and economic limits to capitalist accumulation posed by a region as big as China?
