“…The authors also emphasized that SOEs also contribute a significant portion to the country's gross domestic product (GDP), therefore highlighting the need for a proper evaluation framework of their performance. Studying the role of SOEs in the PRC, Jones and Zou (2017) showed that the country's state fragmentation, decentralization, and internationalization since the 1970s increased their autonomy.…”

“…Thus, this article adopts the concept of economic statecraft for China international projection as the intersection between the political power which, in theory, draws a "grand strategy" for the country, and the economic accumulation, whose agents are profit-driven. This field is not homogeneous and harmonious, but rather a stage of convergence and divergence among different levels of government (central, provincial and municipal) and between these and the public or private companies (Jones, Zou, 2017).…”

“…Within the central government there is a series of ministries and commissions whose functions overlap and sometimes contradict each other. Among them, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) tends to be the most relevant because, according to Jones and Zou (2017), it oversees all economic relations with foreign countries, including trade, investment, aid and the activities of Chinese companies abroad. Due to the "gray zone" of decisionmaking within the Chinese state, our effort should be to evaluate whether there is a general convergence among these forces and whether the Belt and Road Initiative is a product of them.…”

“…Based on this assertion, many investment decisions are taken in the Party circles, either in the provinces or in the central government. Jones and Zou (2017) argue that as privatizations for Chinese groups took place in the 1990s and the 2000s, the state moved from an entrepreneurial to a regulatory stance, but retained a series of prerogatives that still shape the operation of SOEs (Jones, Zou, 2017: 5;Yan, 2018) such as:…”

“…Rather than defining SOEs strictly as "arms of the state" or "profitseekers", Jones and Zou (2017) argue that the state-SOEs relationship is the product of constant clashes and convergence of interests between the various actors immersed in a loose regulation structure. In other words, the "going out" strategy "is not a state directed resource-grab, 'colonization' drive, or deliberate challenge to Western interests, but rather a broad regulatory framework, driven by China's state transformation processes and associated economic developments" that arouse, bottom-up, from a "post hoc rationalisation of what some SOEs were already doing and/or lobbying for" (Jones, Zou, 2017). With a varied menu of options in terms of loans, taxes and labor laws public companies can choose which path to follow and often disobey or ignore central government guidelines for more profitable projects (Jones;Zou, 2017: 8).…”

This paper´s central hypothesis is that China´s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) implies the construction of new networks in the international division of labor that insert the partner countries in a peripheral condition towards China. Although it is clear that the ambitious project of Eurasia´s integration, announced by Xi Jinping in 2013 and formalized in 2017, is by itself a novelty of structural impacts in the international system, it is also a product of deep transformations within China since the early 2000s and, to understand its current impacts, it is crucial to look back at the roots of China's foreign insertion in the previous decade. This paper is divided into the following sections: i) a brief discussion of the three major domestic transformations in China since the 2000s; ii) China's economic statecraft overseas as a byproduct of strategic and economic forces; iii) the symbolic-institutional dimension of that economic statecraft; iv) a case study of Chinese projection in Southeast (SE) Asia divided in two parts, which correspond to the two waves of outward foreign direct investments (OFDI); and v) final considerations.

Review of the research on hydropolitics in Cambodia

Research on hydropolitics in Cambodia emerged in the early 2000s. Since then, scholars in the field have diversified their analytical approaches and broadened the scope of the issues being examined. However, no systematic review of this body of research has been published until now. Correspondingly and quite simply, the objective of this paper is to review the research on hydropolitics in Cambodia. Through the lens of human security, I argue that the research has relied on a human-centered analytical approach and has, thus, acquired three central characteristics: (1) the human-centered analytical approach gives the research a stronger connection to the reality on the ground than is the case with research rooted in the conventional security approach, which adheres to the Westphalian practice of statism and a militaristic focus; (2) the research has generated some valuable findings (e.g., dam-affected villagers can be their own security contributors; not all environmental nongovernmental organizations are anti-dam); and(3) the research has generally overlooked the Cambodian People's Party government's alternately pro-dam and anti-dam stances.
