Area of Science:
- Political Economy
- International Development Studies
Background:
- The post-war Development project was shaped by decolonization and the Cold War.
- Current geopolitical shifts include the expansion of state capitalism and the rise of China.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the redefinition of Development discourses.
- To examine the influence of state capitalism and China's rise on global development paradigms.
- To understand the anxieties surrounding the new "state capitalist normal".
Main Methods:
- Analysis of official discourses from international organizations (IMF, World Bank, OECD, G20).
- Examination of geopolitical and economic transformations.
- Content analysis of policy documents and statements.
Main Results:
- International bodies are increasingly incorporating state capitalism into Development frameworks.
- There is a recognized tension between embracing state-led capital accumulation and critiquing specific national practices (e.g., China's).
- Concerns exist regarding potential negative impacts on competition and increased geoeconomic tensions.
Conclusions:
- Development is being re-articulated to include the state as a key economic actor.
- The rise of state capitalism presents both opportunities and challenges for global economic governance.
