摘要
大量文献探讨了国际发展合作的转变,以及 "非传统捐助方 "如何挑战既有架构的权威与合法性的问题。本文运用制度理论,探讨了新自由主义的制度逻辑与中国的非洲发展方式之间的互动程度。文章认为,互动的程度取决于新自由主义的制度逻辑与中国在非洲的利益之间的兼容性。中国逐步采用一些制度逻辑--如所有权和协调、相互问责和统一--并不是因为中国相信这些制度逻辑,而是因为采用这些制度逻辑是实现中国需求的一种手段。 相关文章 Ameyaw-Brobbey, Thomas.2024."中非公共关系中的媒体:评估中国超越经济发展援助的吸引力"。Politics & Policy 52(3):551–72. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12596.

The Institutional Dynamics of International Development Cooperation and China's Aid in Africa
Substantial volumes of literature have explored shifts in international development cooperation and the question of how “non-traditional donors” challenge the authority and legitimacy of the established architecture. Using institutional theory, this article examines the extent to which the institutional logics of neoliberalism interact with China's approach to development in Africa. The article argues that the extent of interaction depends on the compatibility between the institutional logics of neoliberalism and Chinese interests in Africa. China's gradual adoption of some institutional logics—such as ownership and alignment, mutual accountability, and harmonization—is not because China believes in the institutional logics, but rather because the adoption is a means toward the achievement of Chinese needs.
