This book analyzes the progress, gains, and effects of Chinese overseas ports through in-depth and systematic studies of numerous cases in Europe and Latin America.China’s participation in overseas ports, especially under the rubric of the Belt and Road Initiative, is a matter of great concern to businesspeople, policymakers, and researchers pondering the implications of Chinese infrastructure activities and overseas investment. Yet there is insufficient knowledge concerning the actual nature of China’s role in specific ports, the economic and other consequences associated with that involvement, and the wider economic, political, and environmental effects of those economic effects. The chapters of this book fill these gaps by examining ports in diverse European countries like Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom and various Latin American countries, including Brazil and Jamaica. The book illustrates why Chinese seaports succeed or fail, why they have the military, economic, and other consequences that they do, and why these consequences produce or fail to generate other effects such as political influence.This book will appeal to audiences with interests in China’s overseas seaports, foreign direct investment (FDI), and infrastructure specifically and foreign direct investment, geopolitics, and the political economy of national security more generally.

This book explores the economic and political effects of Chinese outward foreign direct investment (COFDI) through in-depth and comparative analyses of COFDI in economically and politically diverse Southeast Asia countries.Featuring 21 case studies of COFDI in Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Cambodia, the book looks at three core effects, namely, employment, technology transfer, and domestic political effects. The case studies also explore the negative social outcomes of Chinese investments in these nations as well as serious environmental issues linked to COFDI, ranging from the destruction of forests to the loss of biodiversity to air and noise pollution.Revealing both the negative and positive impacts of COFDI in these Southeast Asian nations, this book will be a valuable resource to policymakers as well as students and scholars of Chinese and Southeast Asian economics and politics.
Governance, Domestic Change, and Social Policy in China
100 Years after the Xinhai Revolution

This book constitutes the first comprehensive retrospective on one hundred years of post-dynastic China and compares enduring challenges of governance in the period around the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1911 to those of contemporary China. The authors examine three key areas of domestic change and policy adaptation: social welfare provision, local political institutional reform, and social and environmental consequences of major infrastructure projects. Demonstrating remarkable parallels between the immediate post-Qing era and the recent phase of Chinese reform since the late-1990s, the book highlights common challenges to the political leadership by tracing dynamics of state activism in crafting new social space and terms of engagement for problem-solving and exploring social forces that continue to undermine the centralizing impetus of the state.
