  • Gregor Dobler China and Namibia, 1990 to 2015: How a New Actor Changes the Dynamics of Political Economy
    Gregor Dobler China and Namibia, 1990 to 2015: how a new actor changes the dynamics of political economy The Version of Records of this manuscript has been published and is available in the Journal Review of African Political Economy 2017 (153): 449-465. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03056244.2016.1273828 DOI: 10.1080/03056244.2016.1273828 The article identifies changes in Namibia’s society linked to China’s new role. To understand such changes, it is important to avoid isolating ‘Chinese actors’ from their host society. The author analyses links between Chinese and Namibian actors in three domains: ‘soft power’, Chinese traders and the construction industry. In all three, the presence of Chinese actors does not simply change Namibia’s relations with the world. It has important repercussions on Namibian society, it influences the distribution of capital within Namibia and it engenders shifts in the internal balance of power. Since Chinese influence does not remain external, the line between ‘Chinese’ and ‘Namibian’ actors has long become blurred – turning Namibian political elites into constituent parts of the ‘external’ dynamics they are charged with regulating. 1. Introduction Discussions about China’s new role in Africa have come a long way since the topic first entered the debate in the mid-2000s. Criticism of China’s ‘new imperialism’ (often driven by fears for Western powers’ hegemony) and enthusiasm about its ‘win-win’ approach alike have given place to a soberer and more nuanced perspective. Scholars have tried to unpack the amorphous unity of ‘China’, analysing the multitude of actors and institutions and their different agendas and ways of acting; they have differentiated between African countries and their economic and political trajectories; and they have increasingly propagated a bottom-up approach that looks at things as they appear in the real world, not in policy statements or contracts signed in Beijing.
