Následky čínského ekonomického působení v Subsaharské Africe
Kešelj, Nina ; Stuchlíková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Pavlík, Petr (referee)
There has been a significant upsurge in the Sino-African economic cooperation from the turn of the century. The master thesis analyzes the impacts of the growing role of China in the Sub-Saharan region in an attempt to determine, if it contributes to economic growth and development of the regional economies. In order to unpack the potential outcomes of the expanding Sino-African economic cooperation, Chinese trade and outward foreign investment are analyzed in terms of structure, dynamics and geographic distribution. Where possible, the thesis provides a comparison with the practices of the traditional partners, mainly Western European countries and the United States, in order to determine, if China represents a genuinely different partner that contributes to development of the region, or its activities are no more than a mere continuation of the little successful practices of the traditional partners. As the motives of the Chinese presence in the continent have considerably changed over time, the thesis concentrates on the period of 2000s, providing an insight into most significant changes that have come with the Chinese 'going-out' strategy initiated in 1999. Finally, the thesis tries to identify the potential global outcomes of the intensifying South-South cooperation.
