When Dragon Meets Elephant in Africa: The Rivalry on Distinctive Competitiveness
研究中国和印度在非洲的对外直接投资竞争,指出印度企业依赖制度邻近性和侨民网络,而中国企业依靠政府间关系,软硬实力之争将持续。
ABSTRACT The increasing FDI in Africa from China and India in recent years has drawn the attention of scholars, policy makers, and the media. Africa is an arena where the two emerging giants compete on different bases. Indian firms have the advantage of institutional proximity and large diaspora communities in Africa, while Chinese firms rely on government-to-government relationship-building. The rivalry between India's soft power and Chinese hard power in Africa will continue for the foreseeable future.
