The Specter of Global China pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
Ching Kwan Lee is professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of Gender and the South China Miracle: Two Worlds of Factory Women and Against the Law: Labor Protests in China’s Rustbelt and Sunbelt.
好書,但是海外國企與中國國傢之間的細微互動沒有展現,估計也是作者拿不到的資料。
評分附錄的民族誌田野經曆可真精彩。
評分聚焦中國資本在非洲,是極具挑戰性的研究項目。基於在一綫翔實的田野調查,通過對建築行業和銅礦業中國資企業和私有企業行為模式的比較分析,立體地展示瞭國傢資本主義,當地政府,勞工之間的互動關係。國企和私企行為差異的根本原因不在於其遵循不同的資本主義製度,而是全球統一的資本主義環境下國傢資本對於政治資本、資源穩定供給等非經濟利益的追逐。簡單地把國傢資本主義看做新殖民主義是混淆瞭動機和結果,也低估瞭非洲國傢中政治互動的復雜性。同時,Lee也記錄瞭整個田野展開的過程,既是值得參考方法論,也通過展現調查者和田野的互動過程記錄瞭更多的真實。

評分民族誌的感覺真好。最後追溯自己進行理論化的思想脈絡對寫博士論文還是有啓發的。
