Abstract(s)
O objetivo do presente estudo remete para o entendimento das tendências e
dinâmicas motivacionais que conduzem à dimensão verdadeiramente global
dos investimentos chineses no setor da E&U. A ascensão económica da China e
a mediatização dos elevados investimentos realizados neste setor tem
conduzido a um crescente alarmismo sobre as motivações que estarão na sua
origem. Iniciada em 2005, esta tendência de investimento tem gerado intensos
debates sobre os imperativos estratégicos que lhe estarão subjacentes, assim
como sobre o porquê de determinadas preferências geográficas na alocação
desse investimento. Este estudo procura assim demarcar os fatores que
contribuem para o crescente interesse no setor da E&U e, ao mesmo tempo,
elucidar sobre aqueles que serão os grandes imperativos geopolíticos, e em
última medida geoeconómicos, que suportam este (a)braço verdadeiramente
global de Pequim. Além disso, procura apresentar uma clara exposição das
geografias primordiais para realização de IE e de F&A, tentando, sempre que
possível, expor o racional subjacente a essas preferências.
As principais conclusões deste estudo indicam que a envolvente regional é
o principal foco do IE no setor da E&U, sendo que no caso das F&A, as regiões
mais desenvolvidas passam a ser o alvo principal – tendência que estará
relacionada com a maior possibilidade de absorção de tecnologia e know-how.
No campo das motivações sobressai enquanto supra-motivação a legitimação
do PCC por via da anuência social resultante da concretização económica que
realize as expectativas da população e reforce a robustez dos mecanismos de
dominação interna e de dissuasão externa – i.e., do aparato securitário.
This study purpose refers to the understanding of the motivational dynamics that lead to the truly global dimension of Chinese investments in the E&U sector. China’s economic rise and the mediatization of its large investments in this sector have led to a growing alarmism about the motivations behind it. Initiated in 2005, this investment trend has led to intense debates about the strategic imperatives behind it, as well as about the why of certain geographic preferences in that investment allocation. This study thus seeks to demarcate the factors that contribute to the growing interest in the E&U sector, while elucidating about those which might be the major geopolitical imperatives, and in last case geo-economic, which support this truly global “arm” of Beijing. Moreover, it attempts to present a clear exposition of the primary geographies for conducting foreign investment and mergers and acquisitions, trying, whenever possible, to expose the rationale behind those preferences. The main findings of this study indicate that the regional surrounding area is the main focus of Chinese foreign investment in the E&U sector, and in the case of mergers and acquisitions, the most developed regions become the main target – this trend seems to be related to the higher possibility of technology and know-how absorption. Regarding motivations, stands out as the main reason the legitimization of the Chinese Communist Party through social consent that results from the economic achievement that carries out the expectations of the population and enhances the robustness of the mechanisms of internal domination and of external dissuasion – i.e. the security-apparatus.
