Globalisation redux: can China’s inside-out strategy catalyse economic development and integration across its Asian borderlands and beyond?
本文通过城市化、发展和全球化三个过程的三角框架，分析中国国内转型与全球南方之间的内外联系，并以中国与东南亚、中亚为例，探讨中国向西发展如何为陆上邻国创造发展机遇及伴随的挑战。
As the narrative of globalisation in crisis heats up, China has stepped up as a new champion of globalisation with its ‘Belt and Road Initiative’. This article repositions ‘China in the Global South’ to the front and centre of the globalisation discourse. Through a triangular framework, I differentiate and reconnect the three ‘master’ processes of urbanisation, development and globalisation to understand the inside-outside connections between China’s domestic transformation and strong impact in the Global South. Using China vs Southeast Asia and Central Asia, I document how China’s westward development has created new development opportunities for its overland neighbours and beyond, and identify the challenges that accompany these opportunities.
