具体描述

China has recently emerged as one of Africa’s top business partners, aggressively pursuing its raw materials and establishing a mighty presence in the continent’s booming construction market. Among major foreign investors in Africa, China has stirred the most fear, hope, and controversy. For many, the specter of a Chinese neocolonial scramble is looming, while for others China is Africa’s best chance at economic renewal. Yet, global debates about China in Africa have been based more on rhetoric than on empirical evidence. Ching Kwan Lee’s The Specter of Global China is the first comparative ethnographic study that addresses the critical question: Is Chinese capital a different kind of capital?

Offering the clearest look yet at China’s state-driven investment in Africa, this book is rooted in six years of extensive fieldwork in copper mines and construction sites in Zambia, Africa’s copper giant. Lee shadowed Chinese, Indian, and South African managers in underground mines, interviewed Zambian miners and construction workers, and worked with Zambian officials. Distinguishing carefully between Chinese state capital and global private capital in terms of their business objectives, labor practices, managerial ethos, and political engagement with the Zambian state and society, she concludes that Chinese state investment presents unique potential and perils for African development. The Specter of Global China will be a must-read for anyone interested in the future of China, Africa, and capitalism worldwide.

悬置“中国在非洲是不是新殖民主义”这种裹挟了太多国家政治polemic的问题，转而从“资本（而不是资本主义）的多样性”入手，通过对比中国SOE和跨国私企在赞比亚的采矿业（附带一些建筑业）的几个方面（资本积累逻辑、劳工体制、管理精神），为思考中国在非洲、中国和资本主义世界体系打开了局面。理论依托大致来自Weber（资本者的文化“精神”）、Polanyi（反资本的社会counter-movement）、Wallerstein（世界体系中的国家和资本的勾连）、William Sewell（资本主义的时间性，eventfulness/contingency）。对赞比亚本土的历史/政治语境和agency介绍得颇清楚；作者自陈后期能田野无阻是因为认识了之后上台成为国家副总理的反对党人士。

Variety of capital. 启发很大的一本书。

在eventful sociology的视角下，借助波兰尼的embeddedness的概念，分别从accumulation、production、ethos三个方面对赞比亚铜矿业和建筑业的Chinese state capital和global private capital进行考察，得出结论：这两种资本因为各自不同的积累需要导致他们采取了不同的regimes of production,（which in turn were enabled by different ethoses of management，同时还提到由于国家和社会之间的政治协同，以及赞比亚当地社会和国际政治经济的变化的影响，中国资比全私资更易对赞比亚劳工需求妥协（磕磕绊绊地读完了，重点读了chapter1，没咋读透

好书，但是海外国企与中国国家之间的细微互动没有展现，估计也是作者拿不到的资料。
