摘要

加纳与中国水利水电集团有限公司达成了一项有争议的协议,引起了国际社会的关注。中国水电正在投资20亿美元用于基础设施开发,以换取15年内的精炼铝土矿。当谈到中国和非洲政府之间的资源支持贷款时,这些类型的合作被广泛称为安哥拉模式。除了对资源担保贷款的批评外,在一些非洲国家,这些做法有所减少,而在另一些国家,这种做法仍在继续,但也在演变。例如在几内亚和加纳。与安哥拉模式相比,本文更深入地研究了加纳水电交易的结构和关注点。主要区别似乎是(a)负责管理铝土矿开采的已成立的准国有公司,以及(b)在加纳发展铝土矿-铝综合产业的计划。另一方面,关于绕过法规或可能的污染的环境问题仍然存在。

Same Same, but Different: Ghana’s Sinohydro Deal as Evolved ‘Angola Model’?
Ghana has gained international attention due to a controversial deal, which it has entered with the Chinese Sinohydro Corporation Limited. Sinohydro is investing $2 billion in infrastructure development, in return for refined bauxite over a 15-year period. When it comes to resource-backed loans between China and African governments, these types of cooperation are widely known as the Angola Model. Besides the criticism of resource-secured lending, in some African countries, these practices are declined, while in others it continues, but also evolve. For example in Guinea and in Ghana. This article takes a closer look at the structure and concerns regarding Ghana’s Sinohydro deal in comparison to the Angola Model. The main difference appears to be (a) the established para-state company charged with managing the extraction of bauxite and (b) the plans to develop an integrated bauxite–aluminum industry within Ghana. On the other side, environmental concerns regarding bypassing regulations or possible pollution remain the same.
