“…Individually, and in varying combinations, each rejects the universality of Western liberal principles while pressing for alternative economic, political, and security institutions and arrangements’. Bin Huwaidin (2022) observes that ‘China wants to use its relationship with Iran to give itself leverage against the United States on important issues such as’ … resisting US domination of the international system’. And more generally, Ghiselli and Giuffrida (2020: 10) claim that Beijing's current strategy in the Middle East ‘is aimed at contributing to the transformation of the regional order from unipolar, that is to say controlled by the US, to multipolar’.…”

Gabriele Natalizia and Lorenzo Termine lay out an innovative framework to analyze the trajectory of the current foreign policy of the People's Republic of China. As it stands, it suffers from serious conceptual ambiguities and generates a set of categories that is too large to guide empirical research. After revision, however, the framework that Natalizia and Termine propose can be deployed to elucidate Beijing's behavior in various parts of the world, most notably the Persian Gulf.

Chinese Investments in the Special Economic Zones in the Gulf Region: New Structural Economics Perspective

The Gulf countries have shifted to a new development paradigm, pursuing economic diversification by constructing special economic zones (SEZs). By investing overseas, China has been involved in the development of SEZs in the Gulf region, especially since China proposed the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In this chapter, through the analytical framework of New Structural Economics (NSE), I examine three projects of Chinese investments in the SEZs in the Gulf region — China-Oman Industrial Park in Duqm, the petrochemical and chemical fibre integrated project in Saudi Arabia’s Jazan City for Primary and Downstream Industries, and China-UAE Industrial Capacity Cooperation Demonstration Zone. By analysing how the projects grow and how they affect the development of the investment recipient countries, I argue that the “hard” and “soft” infrastructure provided by the recipient countries and the comparative advantages of the recipient countries have motivated the projects to grow. The three projects demonstrate the potential to contribute to the development of infrastructure in the SEZs where the projects are located and have assisted the investment recipient countries in striving for economic diversification and sustainable development.
