China's Rise - Implications for Low Income Countries.
| Description | Network grant - findings: The international research community still has a limited and Eurocentric understanding of the complexities of China's internal processes and thinking on international development. Debates from Western 'development studies' are virtually non-existent in China. The workshops enabled fruitful exchanges with Chinese colleagues about the nature of development. That said, Western theory and practice has tended to focus on criticising modernity and searching for more effective solutions to development problems while the Chinese debates inject a useful dose of Realpolitik around the need for technology, infrastructure and growth. Representatives of various agencies discussed their stance on these issues in the workshops. In workshop 1 we discussed the areas where Chinese and European policy is actually in agreement, which is far more commonplace than the more antagonistic analyses of China as a 'rogue donor' would have us believe. This provides opportunities for trilateral cooperation between Europe, China and LICs. Other key debates of workshop 1 were around the diverse and fragmented actors and motives of China's international development, which goes far beyond the idea of a 'Beijing Consensus'. That said, we need to avoid treating China as endlessly unique since with globalisation its development is inextricably linked to the dynamics of other states and markets so that its trajectory can never be endogenous despite the strong state. Our current frameworks for understanding the multiple actors and channels of interaction are inadequate and too focused on the economic drivers. Crucially, by disaggregating channels we miss the many ways in which different channels interact, reinforce or undermine one another. Important non-economic drivers, such as environmental and social drivers, are often neglected. This was discussed in detail in workshop 2. Furthermore the heavy reliance on economic drivers of much existing analysis significantly underplays the environmental aspects of China's global role. China currently has the world's highest greenhouse gas emissions, however at the same time it also plays a crucial role in climate change mitigation. China also plays a crucial role for transboundary water management, such as in Southeast Asia along the Lancang / Mekong river, and plays a role in overseas environmental degradation (e.g. soil, air, water) and resource depletion (e.g. energy, minerals). Nevertheless we still know very little of how China 'exports' its environmental footprint, both positively and negatively, for example through hydropower projects and low cost, low carbon technologies for LICs. These issues were discussed in detail in Workshop 3 and link into research plans for the second phase of the ESRC Rising Powers call. |
| Exploitation Route | Summary of impacts to date: The network was a very policy-oriented network; hence separating the 'scientific' from the 'economic and societal' seems artificial as we attempted to do both at the same time. The project had direct policy implications by sharing information and engaging through the workshops and outputs with donors and policy-makers from DfID, the European Union and Chinese authorities. One of the outputs of the project was a policy brief which gave policy recommendations for policy-makers from China, traditional donor countries and low income countries. The network has lead to the publishing of a Policy Brief which made an impact in the policy arena by making recommendations for policy-makers and policy analysts in China, the traditional donor countries and LICs. The target audience are donors from DfID, the European Union and other traditional donors, along with government representatives from China and LICs, particularly in Africa. The workshops influenced the academic and policy debate around China's development activities in LICs and the actors, institutions and modes of interaction through which China and LICs engage. The workshop made an impact by developing a new analytical framework for assessing China's rise. The workshops, discussions and newly-formed relationships generated a number of new bids and proposals for further research. To date, 14 funding proposals have been submitted and at least 11 funding proposals will be submitted as a consequence of the network. In addition the network has generated about 30 publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters and books. There has been a range of media outputs, web stories and policy briefs which were generated by the network members and workshop participants. The network has further lead to more than 30 presentations at scientific conferences and policy-relevant events at the national and international level. More than 15 new partnerships were formed according to the information from the network members and workshop participants. We also have a project website which holds all PPTs and summaries from the workshops, working papers and other material. The website has been very well frequented by users (http://risingpowers.open.ac.uk/). This is in addition to the uploaded outputs on the ESRC Rising Powers website. In addition there is an IDS project website (http://www.ids.ac.uk/go/idsproject/china-as-the-new-shaper-of-global-development). A follow up project of the network project was the ESRC 'China goes global' project, for which a wide range of findings and outputs is available. |

| Description | This project was a networking grant under the ESRC 'Rising Powers' scheme. The project contributed to a wide range of workshops and networking activities with non-academic audiences, most importantly non-governmental organisations and government agencies such as the UK Department for International Development DfID. As a result of the project, long-term collaborations with these organisations (most importantly the NGO International Rivers) continued and led to further funding and research activities under the ESRC-funded 'China goes global' project, which deals with large Chinese hydropower dams in Asia and Africa. The project had a direct influence on the sustainability practices of large dam-builders. Project summary The emergence of China as a global player challenges the pre-existing dominance of the OECD countries and will continue to be a crucial force for global change in coming decades. The implications of China's rise will be most significant for Low Income Countries (LICs), but the outcomes will also affect China's relations with traditional donors like DfID, and the understanding of the process of development. The aim of the network was to improve the understanding of China's rise as a global development actor, the implications for LICs and the international development community. From this enhanced understanding and the strengthening of international networks the longer term aim is to pursue further research projects. The network was lead by the Institute of Development Studies, the Open University and Tsinghua University. The network was composed of leading academics and policy-makers from China, Europe and LICs. Three workshops were organised in Beijing, London and Brighton. The first workshop discussed the implications of a more nuanced understanding of the processes behind China's development activities for its external engagements. The second workshop analysed the actors, institutions and modes of interaction through which China and LICs engage. The third workshop applied the analytical framework developed throughout the network activities to particular areas of research on energy and the environment. This served the goals of testing the analytical framework. This project confirmed that while traditional powers often consider China's rise as a competitive threat, China can offer an alternative model of development for LICs. Project implementation The network was composed of leading academics, policy analysts and policy-makers from China, Europe and low income countries (LICs). In addition we invited key actors from donors such as DFID and the EU, research institutions, think tanks and NGOs to the workshops. Three two-day workshops were organised in Beijing, London and Brighton. The first workshop in Beijing in July 2010 discussed the implications of a more nuanced and in-depth understanding of the domestic processes behind China's development activities for its external engagements and how this compared to the OECD's development activities. Desk research was undertaken to analyse the debates that inform China's development policy thinking and the OECD's policy thinking as a contrast. This formed the first position paper (See Urban, Mohan and Zhang, 2010) which was distributed to the network members before the first workshop. It examined the place of foreign aid and overseas development in the Chinese political discourse. It identified the range and nature of actors and their incentives, and current forms of regulation and institutions of development management, all of which shape China's development engagements and impacts. The second workshop in London in September 2011 analysed the actors, institutions and modes of interaction through which China and LICs engage. Desk research was carried out to review existing literature from different countries and regions, and identify knowledge gaps particularly around the non-economic modes of interaction between China and LICs. The third workshop in Brighton in November 2011 applied the analytical framework developed throughout the network activities to particular areas of on-going research on energy and the environment. This served the goals of testing the analytical framework, refining the framework and methodology and synthesizing the lessons from the three workshops. Desk research was on China's rise as a development actor in the Mekong Region and Africa in relation to energy developments, where energy is a cross-cutting theme involving environmental, economic, social and political issues. A second position paper was developed around China's engagement in the oil sector in Africa (see Urban et al 2011), which tested the analytical framework developed throughout the network activities. The Visiting Fellows played a critical role in supporting the desk research and in the development of the position papers.
