Abstract(s)
A crescente presença da China no continente africano é intensamente discutida tanto no campo empresarial quanto acadêmico. Embora as empresas chinesas não sejam investidores tradicionais no continente, a história ainda pode ser remontada ao período logo após a criação da República Popular da China. Nos últimos anos, a influência do governo e das empresas chinesas na África não pôde mais ser negligenciada, o que também anda de mãos dadas com polêmicas e denúncias como o neocolonialismo e a armadilha da dívida. Diferentemente dos investidores tradicionais, os observadores sempre atribuem o sucesso da China na África ao seu forte poder estatal. O governo chinês tem seu papel no processo, o que é mais importante, porém, poderia ser a crescente colaboração entre o poder estatal e as empresas. Principalmente por abordagem qualitativa, listo vários métodos pelos quais o governo da China poderia cooperar com investidores, especialmente na África. Também neste artigo, o problema dos custos de transação é selecionado como a lente teórica para elaborar a razão pela qual a cooperação entre o governo e as empresas é tão importante para o Chinês investimento na Africa.
China´s increasing presence in the African continent is intensely discussed both in the business and academic fields. Although China´s companies are not traditional investors in the continent, the history can still be traced back to the period just after the establishment of the People´s Republic of China. In recent years, the influence of the Chinese government and companies in Africa couldn´t be neglected any longer, which also goes hand-to-hand with controversies and accusations like neo-colonialism and debt-trap. Differing from traditional investors, observers always attribute China´s success in Africa to its strong state power. The Chinese government does have its role in the process, what is more important, however, could be the escalating collaboration between state power and companies. Mostly by qualitative approach, I list several methods by which China´s government could cooperate with overseas investors, particularly in Africa. Also in this paper, the transaction cost problem is selected as the theory lens to elaborate the reason why cooperation between government and firms is so important for Chinese African investment.
