ABSTRACT The Covid-19 crisis has once again brought the role of the state in the capitalist economy to the fore. Rather than viewing this as a ‘return of the state’, this article conceptualises the current dynamic in terms of a reconfiguration of the roles the state plays, distinguishing between a market-creating, a market-correcting, a market-intervening, and a market-directing role, with each role having both an internal and an external dimension. This conceptual mapping of the diversity of state-capital configurations is then applied to offer a novel reading of the recent capitalist state trajectories of the US and of China. We conclude that there is – notwithstanding persistent differences – a relative convergence inasmuch as the still strongly market-directing Chinese state also has at the same come to embrace a global market-creating role, while the US is now also showing signs of a stronger emphasis on market-direction.
摘要新冠肺炎危机再次凸显了国家在资本主义经济中的作用。本文没有将其视为“国家的回归”,而是从国家所扮演角色的重新配置的角度对当前的动态进行了概念化,区分了创造市场、纠正市场、干预市场和引导市场的角色,每个角色都有内部和外部维度。然后,将这种国家资本配置多样性的概念映射应用于对美国和中国最近资本主义国家轨迹的新颖解读。我们得出的结论是,尽管存在持续的分歧,但这是一种相对的趋同,因为仍然强有力地引导市场的中国政府同时也开始接受全球市场创造的角色,而美国现在也显示出更加重视市场方向的迹象。

ABSTRACT The election of Donald Trump in 2016 marked the beginning of a new chapter in US–China relations. His administration’s imposition of tariffs and high-level trade negotiations captured the most attention and headlines. But these attempts to coerce China into breaking down key pillars of its ‘state capitalist’ developmental model have been only one, outward-facing element of his administration’s response to China’s growing economic and military strength. This article focuses on three inward-facing policy areas, the politics of which have been shaped by China’s rise and the evolution of the US economy: (1) the governance of inward foreign direct investment; (2) government procurement and local content requirements; and (3) state projects to promote new technologies and domestic productive capabilities. It finds evidence of modest reforms of government regulations and limited expansions in state capacity but that these may prove to be more significant in the long term.
摘要唐纳德·特朗普2016年当选,标志着美中关系翻开新的篇章。他的政府征收关税和高级别贸易谈判引起了最多的关注和头条新闻。但这些迫使中国打破其“国家资本主义”发展模式关键支柱的企图,只是其政府应对中国日益增长的经济和军事实力的一个面向外部的因素。这篇文章聚焦于三个面向内的政策领域,中国的崛起和美国经济的演变塑造了这三个领域的政治:(1)对外来外国直接投资的治理;(2) 政府采购和当地含量要求;以及(3)促进新技术和国内生产能力的国家项目。它发现了政府监管适度改革和国家能力有限扩张的证据,但从长远来看,这些改革可能更为重要。

ABSTRACT In times of severe crises, citizens are frequently found to rally-‘round-the-flag – i.e. to increase trust in their government. Drawing on an original survey experiment with real-world information at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, we portray the saliency of rally-relevant issues of the crisis. Contrary to our expectation, this priming effect lowers governmental trust. Mediation analyses show that respondents are more trusting towards their in-group, but simultaneously display less pride in institutions and less positive attitudes towards the political elite, which leads to a reduction in governmental trust. Our study shows that crises do not always lead to a rally-‘round-the-flag effect – it crucially depends on whether people consider their democratic institutions capable of coping with the crisis. Moreover, our findings demonstrate the need to unravel the black box of the rally-effect to get a more accurate picture of the driving forces behind governmental trust during crises.
在严重危机时期,人们经常发现公民们团结起来——“围着国旗”——即增加对政府的信任。根据冠状病毒大流行开始时的真实世界信息的原始调查实验,我们描绘了危机中与集会相关的问题的突出性。与我们的预期相反,这种启动效应降低了政府信任。中介分析显示,受访者对其内部群体的信任度更高,但同时对机构的自豪感和对政治精英的积极态度也有所下降,这导致对政府的信任度下降。我们的研究表明,危机并不总是会导致“团结一致”的效应,这在很大程度上取决于人们是否认为他们的民主制度有能力应对危机。此外,我们的研究结果表明,需要解开集会效应的黑箱,以更准确地了解危机期间政府信任背后的驱动力。

Rising powers’ quest for increased legitimacy through IOs in an era of loose multilateralism 在宽松的多边主义时代,新兴大国寻求通过国际组织提高合法性

ABSTRACT This paper critically assesses the (de)legitimation strategies used by rising powers against existing formal and informal International Organizations (IOs), especially the G7/8, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In doing so, it first analyzes how legitimacy relates to multilateralism and vice versa. Then, it examines why legitimacy matters to rising powers and explores the two main (de)legitimation strategies—regime shift and competitive regime creation—used by rising powers when they contest the legitimacy of the existing IOs. Finally, it uses the cases of the G20 and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to highlight the strengths and limits of regime shift and competitive regime creation strategies. This paper argues that rising powers' quest for enhanced legitimacy by means of joining alternative existing institutions (G20) or creating new institutions (AIIB) seems to have produced limited results because, like the status-quo institutions, the G20 and AIIB also suffer from legitimacy deficit.
摘要本文批判性地评估了新兴大国对现有正式和非正式国际组织,特别是G7/8、世界银行和国际货币基金组织(IMF)使用的(去)合法化策略。在这样做的时候,它首先分析了合法性与多边主义的关系,反之亦然。然后,它研究了为什么合法性对崛起的大国很重要,并探讨了崛起的大国在竞争现有国际组织的合法性时使用的两种主要(去)合法化策略——政权转移和竞争性政权创建。最后,它以二十国集团和亚洲基础设施投资银行(AIIB)为例,强调了政权更迭和竞争性政权创建战略的优势和局限性。本文认为,新兴大国通过加入替代现有机构(G20)或创建新机构(AIIB)来寻求增强合法性的努力似乎收效甚微,因为与现状机构一样,G20和AIIB也存在合法性赤字。

ABSTRACT State-owned capital investment into so-called illiberal democracies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has risen to become a more significant feature of CEE political economies, although knowledge of the impact of such transnational flows on illiberal capitalist development remains limited. This article analyses this form of capitalist relation by contributing to and consequently fusing two strands of burgeoning academic literature: (1) the political economy of illiberalism and (2) state capitalism. The result is an expansion of the purview of each: the former by focusing on CEE illiberalism’s external (state) capitalist dimensions; the latter via an upgrading of the rigour of the term ‘state capitalism’ through analysis of ‘new territorialities’. Empirically, I use a Case Study Analysis of Chinese state-owned capital investment into Serbia with focus on two Sino-Serbian agreements and identify two issues that may come to characterise the broader relationship between CEE illiberalism and Chinese state-owned capital investment.
在中欧和东欧(CEE),国有资本对所谓的非自由民主国家的投资已经上升为中东欧政治经济的一个更重要的特征,尽管对这种跨国流动对非自由资本主义发展的影响的了解仍然有限。本文通过对两股新兴学术文献(1)非自由主义的政治经济学和(2)国家资本主义)的贡献和融合来分析这种形式的资本主义关系。结果是两者的范围都扩大了:前者关注中东欧非自由主义的外部(国家)资本主义维度;后者通过分析“新疆域”来提升“国家资本主义”一词的严谨性。在经验上,我使用了中国国有资本投资塞尔维亚的案例研究分析,重点关注两项中塞协议,并确定了两个问题,这些问题可能会成为中东欧非自由主义与中国国有资本投资之间更广泛关系的特征。

ABSTRACT This article introduces and lays the groundwork for this Contemporary Politics special issue on the ‘new’ state capitalism. We start by noting that the rubric state capitalism tends to elicit paradoxical responses, from uncritically embracing the term and overstretching its realms of application, to rejecting its validity altogether. We argue that the source of such ambivalence resides in issues of conceptual definition, which have led to a number of analytical impasses. We propose instead to construe state capitalism as a set of critical interrogations concerning the changing role of the state, thereby introducing a degree of plasticity in the use of the category. We call this the problématique of state capitalism. We subsequently identify three major themes that are explored in this dedicated issue, and that warrant further research in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, namely (1) its class underpinnings, (2) its global nature, and (3) its relational character.
摘要本文介绍了“新”国家资本主义这一当代政治特刊,并为之奠定了基础。我们首先注意到,规范性的国家资本主义往往会引发矛盾的反应,从不加批判地接受这个词并过度扩展其应用领域,到完全拒绝其有效性。我们认为,这种矛盾心理的根源在于概念定义问题,这导致了许多分析上的僵局。相反,我们建议将国家资本主义解释为一组关于国家角色变化的批判性疑问,从而在使用该类别时引入一定程度的可塑性。我们称之为国家资本主义的问题。随后,我们确定了本专题探讨的三个主要主题,这些主题需要根据新冠肺炎大流行进行进一步研究,即(1)其阶级基础,(2)其全球性质,以及(3)其关系特征。

ABSTRACT By focusing on the 2019 Algerian uprising that led to Bouteflika’s removal, this article explores how broad and mass-based convergences of various social and political opposition actors can produce an existential threat to autocracies. It develops a dynamic understanding that analyses the behaviour of political groups, social classes, and state actors. To do so, it points to the hegemonic contraction of the ruling coalition, the outbreak of a long series of protests in the pre-2019 period, and the gradual emergence of a cross-class and cross-ideological convergence in the course of the uprising. The article not only contributes to debates about authoritarian regimes and mobilizations, but also demonstrates how the scholarship might develop more nuanced accounts by combining insights from the structuralist approach and microfoundational studies. To analyse the uprising in Algeria, it relies on secondary sources and press analysis, taking into account three leading Algerian newspapers and two well-known websites.
摘要通过关注导致布特弗利卡下台的2019年阿尔及利亚起义,本文探讨了各种社会和政治反对派行为者的广泛和基于群众的融合如何对独裁政权产生生存威胁。它发展了一种动态的理解,分析政治团体、社会阶层和国家行为者的行为。要做到这一点,它指出了执政联盟的霸权收缩,2019年前爆发了一系列长时间的抗议活动,以及在起义过程中逐渐出现了跨阶级和跨意识形态的趋同。这篇文章不仅为关于威权政权和动员的辩论做出了贡献,而且还展示了学术界如何通过结合结构主义方法和微观基础研究的见解来发展更细致的叙述。为了分析阿尔及利亚的起义,它依赖于次要来源和新闻分析,考虑到阿尔及利亚三家主要报纸和两个知名网站。

ABSTRACT The emergent literature on ‘new state capitalism' has offered little in terms of class analysis so far. This stands in contrast with prior twentieth-century writings which had sought to retool Marxist class theory to highlight the ambivalent position of the ‘state class' in settings where the state owned large concentrations of productive capital. This article sets out a novel conceptual framework for analyzing the class situation of officials and executives embedded in government and state-owned enterprises. Overseers and managers of state-owned capital should be understood as Janus-faced actors, participating simultaneously in political and economic fields, articulating political hierarchy with power over capital. Furthermore, fractions inside the state can be identified in so far as the authority to operate, and to allocate, capital is distributed unevenly within the state’s ruling stratum. As an illustration, an examination of the class ramifications of central-level SOEs in China is provided.
摘要到目前为止,新兴的关于“新国家资本主义”的文献在阶级分析方面提供的很少。这与20世纪以前的著作形成了鲜明对比,这些著作试图重新构建马克思主义阶级理论,以强调“国家阶级”在国家拥有大量生产资本的环境中的矛盾立场。本文提出了一个新的概念框架来分析政府和国有企业中官员和高管的阶级状况。国有资本的监管者和管理者应该被理解为Janus面对的行动者,同时参与政治和经济领域,阐明对资本拥有权力的政治等级制度。此外,就运营和分配权力而言,国家内部的部分可以确定,资本在国家统治阶层中的分配不均衡。举例来说,本文考察了中国中央一级国有企业的阶级分化。

ABSTRACT This paper argues that state capitalism is not just a developing world phenomenon; a number of high-income economies in Europe and Asia have experienced a notable expansion of state capitalism over the past two decades. By using data on equity and investment fund shares from government balance sheets, this paper compares the strength of state capitalism across more than 30 high-income economies since 2000. This dataset enables the analysis of government ownership of economic entities in totality and over time. By analysing the diverse cases of the United States, Britain, and Norway in depth, this paper also emphasises the importance of the historical, political, and socio-economic contexts in understanding the persistence of and government influence in state capitalism through corporate ownership. Based on these analyses, this paper challenges the analytical value of ‘geographical imaginaries’ that categorise high-income economies as liberal capitalists and developing economies as statist capitalists.
本文认为,国家资本主义不仅仅是发展中国家的现象;过去20年,欧洲和亚洲的许多高收入经济体经历了国家资本主义的显著扩张。通过使用政府资产负债表中的股票和投资基金份额数据,本文比较了自2000年以来30多个高收入经济体的国家资本主义实力。该数据集能够分析经济实体的总体和长期政府所有权。通过深入分析美国、英国和挪威的不同案例,本文还强调了历史、政治和社会经济背景在理解国家资本主义通过公司所有权的持续存在和政府影响方面的重要性。基于这些分析,本文挑战了将高收入经济体归类为自由资本主义经济体和将发展中经济体归类为国家资本主义经济体的“地理想象”的分析价值。

ABSTRACT To what extent is political fragmentation associated with changes in democracy? The article uses the European integration process of ten Central and East European democracies to argue that political fragmentation is distinctly related to changes in democracy, depending on whether it is the government or opposition that is fragmented. Moreover, this association is mitigated by EU conditionality in the integration process. The paper tests the argument through the use of time-series cross-sectional data. The findings illustrate the importance of opposition fragmentation as an essential factor in explaining changes in democracy. In conclusion, the article draws attention to the understudied literature on opposition fragmentation by highlighting the theoretical implications of the findings for comparative politics and European integration.
政治分裂在多大程度上与民主变革有关?本文以十个中欧和东欧民主国家的欧洲一体化进程为例,论证了政治分裂与民主变革明显相关,这取决于分裂的是政府还是反对派。此外,欧盟在一体化进程中的条件性削弱了这种联系。本文通过使用时间序列横断面数据来验证这一论点。调查结果表明,反对派分裂是解释民主变化的一个重要因素。最后,本文通过强调研究结果对比较政治和欧洲一体化的理论意义,提请人们注意尚未得到充分研究的反对派分裂文献。
