From Financial Assets to Financial Statecraft: the case of China and emerging economies of Africa and Latin America

Over the past few decades, China has accumulated over US$3.4 trillion of official foreign exchange reserves as it rises to become a global power. Do China's financial assets increase its ability to pursue its national interests internationally? With the globalisation and rising influence of Chinese state-owned enterprises, state-owned banks and sovereign wealth fund, as well as China's growing clout in several regional groupings, it is clear that China does possess the necessary mechanisms to assert its financial power. This article examines the efficacy and limitations of these mechanisms in Africa and Latin America, in the economic and political domains. In the economic domain, China has consistently used foreign oil contracts and acquisitions to secure direct oil flow from developing nations. An analysis of recent cases shows that while China is able to successfully harness its financial power in its pursuit of oil, it needs to fulfil its promises to the satisfaction of the recipient countries in order to maintain the value of its offers. In the political domain, China has used its financial assets to purchase diplomatic allegiance from various African and Latin American countries in support of its One-China policy. Studying both successful and unsuccessful cases reveals that while China is generally able to use its financial power in third-world countries against Taiwan successfully, its national goals have, in recent years, shifted to the economic realm, even with countries that still recognise the Taipei government.

新自由主义福利的拉美实践:智利养老保险改革策略的解析

智利养老保险改革是20世纪80年代世界范围内福利改革的重要尝试。通过这次带有新自由主义福利倾向的改革,使其成为"拉美模式"的代表性国家。在实践中,智利养老保险改革不但较为彻底的消除了原有体系中的隐患,而且实现了制度的平稳对接,因而其改革经验对拉美国家与发展中国家的福利转轨提供了借鉴价值。文章在仔细考察了智利养老保险改革的策略、经验与存在问题后认为,智利养老保险改革较好的适应了其政治、经济、社会背景,在制度体系改革、缴费改革、资金运营改革与制度转轨改革四个方面都体现了对新自由主义福利理论的实践探索,对其改革策略进行深入反思具有重要价值。     

土地股份合作制是中国农村土地产权制度改革的选择

当前农村土地承包制度的最大缺陷在于没有切实保护好农民的利益,针对这一缺陷,一个时期以来出现了两个有代表性的观点一是主张农村土地私有化,二是提出变农村土地集体所有为国家所有。但这两方面观点都与中国的现实国情相脱离的,是不可取的。因此,以农户拥有产权为基础的土地股份合作制成为中国面临的重大选择。

China and Major Power Relations in East Asia

Tremendous changes have taken place in East Asia in the post-Cold War era, which have a great impact on Chinese foreign policy and its relations with major powers in East Asia. This new power configuration is related to as 'two ups' and 'two downs', which have become apparent since the early 1990s. The 'two ups' concern the rise of the United States and China. The United States' rise to sole superpower status has given Washington a dominant role in all four dimensions of world affairs: political, strategic, economic, and technological/cultural. Meanwhile, China has achieved a spectacular economic performance for the past two decades, sustaining high growth rates, and escaping, so far, the Asian economic crisis of 1997‐98. This expansion has greatly increased China's influence in regional and global affairs. The 'two downs' refer to the downturns of Russia and Japan. This article provides a detailed analysis of China's international environment in the context of the changing dynamics of major-power relations in East Asia. Special attention is paid to the crucial Beijing‐Tokyo‐Washington triangle. The examination focuses upon political, economic, and strategic dimensions.
