Chinese overseas finance in renewable energy in Argentina and Brazil: implications for the energy transition / Rubio, Tatiana Gelvez; Jauregui, Juliana Gonzalez   Journal Article
Rubio, Tatiana Gelvez Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract China began to accelerate the energy transition in the last decade as a strategy for rebalancing its economy and becoming a more influential actor in the global renewable energy market. This article explores to what extent Chinese investment and financing in renewable energy projects in Argentina and Brazil promote these countries' energy transition strategies and sustainable development more broadly. To approach this question, the article provides a reading of Ostrom’s postulates of the energy transition as an increasingly relevant driver of certain states’ relationships with other countries. General trajectories of Chinese investment and lending in Latin America provide a background to Chinese investment in solar and wind power projects in Argentina and Brazil. The article concludes that China’s overseas finance merges with Argentina and Brazil’s own goals regarding renewable energy deployment and discusses future challenges in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath.

Conditionality and path dependence in Chinese lending / Mattlin, Mikael; Nojonen, Matti   Article
Mattlin, Mikael Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract China's long insistence on non-interference in sovereign states' domestic affairs has contributed to a widely held impression that China also lends abroad without attaching policy conditions. In this article, we debunk the notion that China's bilateral lending is entirely devoid of conditionality, by showing that it involves elements of political conditionality, embedded conditionality and cross-conditionality, stemming from the varying concerns of Chinese foreign policy-makers and state-linked lenders. We then draw on the path-dependence literature to explore the possibility that there may also be more indirect forms of conditionality associated with Chinese lending practices. By ‘emergent conditionality’, we refer to structural lock-in effects that may cumulatively restrict or redirect recipient countries' policy-making choices similarly as more direct conditionality would do, even if the PRC government officially shuns conditionality.
