Strategic Narratives, Ontological Security and Global Policy
Strategic Narratives, Ontological Security and Global Policy provides a pathbreaking account of why some states successfully convince others to join their policy initiatives, and why others fail. Examining China’s Belt and Road Initiative and COVID-19, Thomas Colley and Carolijn van Noort argue that strategic narratives can help persuade states to join global policy initiatives if they convincingly promise audiences material gain while avoiding undermining their ontological security. They make their case by analysing eight diverse countries: India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Mexico, the Maldives, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA. Theoretically novel and global in scope, this book provides a compelling explanation of how strategic narratives can help achieve the global policy coordination needed to confront vital challenges in contemporary international relations. The proposed strategic narrative buy-in framework is applicable to many global policy issues, be it promoting trade and infrastructure projects, mitigating climate change or managing pandemics.
Representations of China in Latin American Literature (1987-2016)
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. Representations of China in Latin American Literature (1987-2016) analyses contemporary Latin American novels in which China is the main theme. Using ‘China’ as a multidimensional term, it explores how the novels both highlight and undermine assumptions about China that have shaped Latin America’s understanding of ‘China’ and shows ‘China’ to be a kind of literary/imaginary ‘third’ term which reframes Latin American discourses of alterity. On one level, it argues that these texts play with the way that ‘Chin...
China–Latin America Relations in the 21st Century
This book conceptualizes the economic relations between China and Latin America in different national cases from the perspectives of international political economy–based structuralism theory, the core-periphery model and the world system theory. It contributes to the interpretation of the consequences of the interaction between China’s successful modernization and Latin America’s failed development model.
Economic Corridors in Asia: Paradigm of Integration? A Reflection for Latin America
Global geopolitics has shifted dramatically over the last thirty years. After the vanishing expectations of a unipolar international system led by the United States, China has gained an increasingly dominant role in areas as innovative as quantum computing, robotics and artificial intelligence. In the non-digital dimension, the eastern superpower has made gigantic investments in its Belt and Road Initiative, which include the development of a massive network of highways, industrial centers, harbors, pipelines and bridges, among many other works of infrastructure. These investments allow for the connection of more than 60 countries worldwide, guaranteeing China s energetic security, easier co...
Paradigm Shifts in Chinese Studies
This book is a study of the change and continuity in paradigms in China studies, both inside and outside of China. In the last few years, the United States and China appeared to be moving in the direction of “de-coupling,” indicating that the engagement policy with China in the last four decade is ending. The “modernization theory” that is the theoretical foundation of the engagement policy has proved to be insufficient. This situation calls for a reexamination of the field of China studies. Historically, scholarly paradigms shifts often went hand in hand with drastic social change. As we have entered an era of great uncertainty, it is constructive to reflect on the paradigms in China studies in the past and explore the possibility of new paradigms in the future. How are the shifts of major theories, methods and paradigms in China studies in the west related to social change? How did some of China’s paradigms impact on the country’s social change and developments? This book will appeal to a wide readership, including scholars and graduate students, upper division undergraduate students of China studies, Asian studies.
Setenta años de existencia de la República Popular China, 1949-2019
El 1 de octubre de 1949 se estableció la República Popular China y, a partir de ello, se fijaron estrategias económicas y de política exterior, así como reordenamientos políticos y sociales, para dar vida a una nueva China. En el ámbito económico, el gobierno del Partido Comunista de China se propuso como meta el crecimiento industrial rápido, por lo que adoptó el modelo soviético de planificación económica, de comando, centralizada. En el aspecto internacional, la coyuntura de la Guerra Fría condicionó la toma de decisiones que buscaron ser aprovechadas por su utilidad estratégica para mejorar la imagen internacional de China, como en el caso de la Guerra de Corea. En el tem...
Centenario del Partido Comunista Chino.
El Partido Comunista Chino (PCCh) es uno de los actores políticos más importantes de nuestro tiempo. Instituido el 23 de julio de 1921 con apenas poco más de medio centenar de personas, un siglo después registraba alrededor de 95 millones de integrantes, lo que lo convierte en el partido político más grande del mundo. El cumplimiento de cien años de existencia del partido se dio en un difícil contexto mundial. No obstante, el centenario del PCCh también atestiguó el ascenso de China como segunda potencia en el ámbito planetario. Estudiar a tan importante actor político es una tarea fundamental, no sólo para la academia estudiosa de China, sino incluso para tomadores de decisione...
Haciendo frente a la discriminación y a la exclusión
Este ensayo pone una mirada interamericana y transpacífica en procesos históricos de discriminación y exclusión de migrantes chinos libres en las Américas desde el siglo XVI hasta el siglo XX. El análisis de la correlación entre migración, liberalismo y racismo nos permitirá lograr una mayor comprensión de las coyunturas de discriminación que tuvieron que enfrentar inmigrantes asiáticos y otros considerados "no blancos" en los Estados Unidos, Europa y otras partes del mundo. Hoy en día, este tema nuevamente está cobrando relevancia, en particular en torno a las reacciones xenófobas y antichinas que han surgido con la pandemia del coronavirus. La serie "Ensayos Interamericanos" está editada por Wilfried Raussert y Olaf Kaltmeier.
