新资源政治经济学--南非与澳大利亚对中国资源战略政策的比较研究

The New Resource Politics: Can Australia and South Africa Accommodate China?

全球经济对资源需求的大幅度上升,导致当代资源政治呈现出国内与国际政治经济相互交叉的新特点,同时,中国成为全球新资源政治的中心。保证资源供应安全成为影响中国国内政治合法性的重要问题,也演变成为中国对外政策的一项核心内容。南非与澳大利亚对中国资源外交的反应,反映出国内政治经济迅速转型给对外经济与安全关系带来的复杂影响。南非与中国在推动国际治理改革上具有相似看法,均致力于发展战略伙伴关系,为两国资源产业合作奠定了基础,但是,两国间政治体制的差异、制造业间的竞争对双边资源政治产生了负面影响。在中国与澳大利亚案例中,采矿业对澳经济与政治不断增进的影响及其引发的全社会的负面反应,以及澳美安全同盟的延续增加了澳中间安全战略关系的不信任,中国在澳资源获取战略面临诸多挑战。

South Africa and Australia's response to China's resource diplomacy reflects the complex impact that a rapidly transitioning domestic political economy has on foreign economic and security relations.South Africa and China share similar views in promoting international governance reform,and both are committed to the development of their strategic partnership,which establishes the foundation for cooperation in resources.However,the differences in political systems and competition between manufacturing sectors have negatively affected resource politics for the two sides.In the case of China and Australia,the ever-increasing influence that the mining industry has on Australia's economy and politics has aroused negative reactions from society.Furthermore,the continuation of the Australian-U.S.security alliance increases security and strategic distrust between China and Australia.China faces many challenges in its resource acquisition strategy in Australia.
