TAPPING INTO THE BACKLASH AGAINST THE WASHINGTON CONSENSUS: CHINESE ENGAGEMENT IN AFRICA
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
At the beginning of the twenty-first century the normative vision of the Unit-ed States and her Western allies is being increasingly challenged, both through the developing world's disenchantment with the Washington Consensus and the rise of alternative powers with divergent political ideals. In Sub-Saharan Africa, China has emerged as such an alternative actor, offering a route to wealth that is grounded in the vitality of her economy and her belief in the defence of national sovereignty. She advances her interests through a set of policies that are more pragmatic and flexible, and that encourage steady innovation rather than a one-size-fits-all neoliberal vision of development. Such policies have generated a sense of encroachment in the West, illustrating the emergence of a normative conflict, which has the potential to undermine the universality the neoliberal model claims.
