Abstract

SUMMARY Using flows of biophysical resources between countries, new research has defied conventional methods of analysing trade in terms of cash flows. Labelled ‘ecologically unequal exchange’, this research quantifies net resource transfers from global South to global North countries. This article explores the unequal exchange implications for Africa as a primary exporter of physical resources, and hence one of the biggest losers from ecologically unequal exchange. As well as ecologically unequal exchange, the article employs the Prebisch–Singer hypothesis and the Growing Smile model to argue against export-oriented industrialisation models of development, and for the political restructuring of the uneven global value regime.

非洲的不平等平衡

摘要利用国家间生物物理资源的流动，新的研究挑战了用现金流分析贸易的传统方法。这项研究被称为“生态不平等交换”，量化了从全球南方国家到全球北方国家的净资源转移。本文探讨了不平等交换对非洲作为自然资源的主要出口国的影响，因此也是生态不平等交换的最大输家之一。除了生态上的不平等交换，文章还采用了Prebisch–Singer假说和Growing Smile模型来反对出口导向的工业化发展模式，以及对不均衡的全球价值体系的政治重组。

期刊介绍： The Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE) is a refereed journal committed to encouraging high quality research and fostering excellence in the understanding of African political economy. Published quarterly by Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group for the ROAPE international collective it has since 1974 provided radical analysis of trends and issues in Africa. It has paid particular attention to the political economy of inequality, exploitation and oppression, whether driven by global forces or local ones (such as class, race, community and gender), and to materialist interpretations of change in Africa. It has sustained a critical analysis of the nature of power and the state in Africa.
