Abstract

Drawing upon cases studies from Southeast Asia, especially Singapore and Malaysia, this article addresses the following questions pertaining to the rise of China and its impact upon Chinese voluntary associations (CVAs) in the region over the past two decades. By employing theoretical insights of positionality, nudging and de-territorialisation and by focusing on various strategies pursued respectively by CVAs and the state, we conclude: (i) the growing economic ties between China and Southeast Asia serve as the platform through which the reconstruction of the CVAs take place; (ii) the reconstitution of the CVAs has been significantly driven by their own initiatives to compete in a new economy, in which knowledge of and connection with a rising China as an expanding market and a culture has advantages; (iii) the states in both China and Southeast Asia have played a part in the reconfiguration of the CVAs, motivated by their respective political and economic agendas; and (iv) it is imperative to go beyond the conventional approaches in understanding CVAs (internal structure and external connections) that have dominated much of the existing literature; and we argue that it is in the interactions and intersections between the internal dynamics and external political economy that a new type of CVAs has emerged.

在立场与推动之间:崛起的中国与东南亚华人社团
本文借鉴东南亚,特别是新加坡和马来西亚的案例研究,探讨了过去二十年来中国的崛起及其对该地区华人志愿协会的影响。通过运用定位、推动和去属地化的理论见解,并通过关注CVA和国家分别采取的各种战略,我们得出结论:(i)中国与东南亚之间日益增长的经济联系是重建CVA的平台;(ii)CVA的重组在很大程度上是由其自身在新经济中竞争的举措推动的,在新经济体中,对作为一个不断扩大的市场和文化的崛起的中国的了解和联系具有优势;(iii)中国和东南亚国家出于各自的政治和经济议程,在CVA的重组中发挥了作用;以及(iv)在理解CVA(内部结构和外部连接)方面,必须超越传统方法,这在现有文献中占主导地位;我们认为,正是在内部动力和外部政治经济之间的互动和交叉中,一种新型的CVA出现了。
