    DEVELOPMENTAL FUSION: CHINESE INVESTMENT, RESOURCE NATIONALISM, AND THE DISTRIBUTIVE POLITICS OF URANIUM MINING IN NAMIBIA by MEREDITH J.

DeBoom has been approved for the Department of Geography John O’Loughlin, Chair Joe Bryan, Committee Member Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. IRB protocol # 14-0112 iii Abstract DeBoom, Meredith J. (PhD, Geography) Developmental Fusion: Chinese Investment, Resource Nationalism, and the Distributive Politics of Uranium Mining in Namibia Thesis directed by Professor John O’Loughlin China’s rising global influence has significant implications for the politics of natural resource extraction and development in sub-Saharan Africa. Focusing on the uranium industry, I analyze how China’s influence operates at global, national, and sub-national scales in relation to natural resource politics in the southern African country of Namibia. Specifically, I draw on multi-methods fieldwork to evaluate 1) how Namibians are engaging with Chinese investments in mining and 2) what implications these engagements have for the politics of mining and development, including natural resource ownership and the distribution of mining-associated benefits and costs.

  • Queer, Or Cross-Dressers (China Development Brief 2017)
    General Editors’ Introduction SUSAN STRYKER and PAISLEY CURRAH n this special issue, guest editors Howard Chiang, Todd Henry, and Helen I Hok-Sze Leung present work drawn from the intersections of Asian area studies and trans studies. In doing so, they simultaneously address two comple- mentary problems—the marginalization of “trans” topics within Asian studies, and implicit biases within trans studies that center the West, the global North, and the Anglophone. While “solving” those problems exceeds the scope of a single special issue of a journal, the work collected here calls attention to the cross- currents that make this confluence difficult to navigate, while offering a useful point of departure for further work. In a recent issue of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, Anjali Arondekar and Geeta Patel (2016) interrogate the continued salience of area studies as a conceptual construct, an epistemology, and a field formation. Given the “strident refusal” (152) of so much recent transnational work on queer sexuality to engage with area studies as an ethically suspect undertaking rooted in post–World War II and Cold War intelligence gathering on behalf of the United States and its geopolitical ambitions, they ask what critical gains might be achieved through the field’s reinterrogation. They suggest that “the elision of area studies within queer studies” might “constitute a willed refusal to name the epistemological genres that US political initiatives have taken outside its territorial borders, a refusal to concede perhaps that these very common- places might hold the residue of post–Cold War settler colonial intimations” (153).
