  • The Crane: Episode #17: Belt and Road Initiative at 10
    2023/07/21

    In response to Bolivia’s recent agreement with Russian state nuclear firm Rosatom and China's Citic Guoan Group to develop its largely untapped resources of lithium – a resource of increasing importance due to its use in rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras and electric vehicles – US Senator Marco Rubio tweeted: “Whether it’s through China’s BRI, debt-trap policy, or other false promises, nations in our region must remain vigilant of the threat of doing business with Beijing.”

    Despite a range of policy makers and researcher debunking Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) activities as ‘debt-trapping’ – even by World Bank researches who descibed BRI as ‘largely beneficial’ – Western and allied groups have continually stocked fears and misunderstandings of what the BRI is and the role it is playing in human development.

    Yet, in the face of this, China continues to prioritize engagement with developing nations. So what’s the BRI and what are some of its implications for Africa? Amadeus and Mika discuss.

    The publication is an important reference for debates and developments in Chinese thought, on matters ranging from China’s ancient history and traditional culture to its current socialist practices and innovations, from the important cultural trends in contemporary Chinese social life to Chinese views and analyses of the world today.

    Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and Dongsheng have partnered with Wenhua Zongheng to publish an international edition of the journal, releasing four issues per year featuring a selection of articles that hold particular relevance for the Global South.

  • The Crane: Episode #15 - BRICS Summit 2023 and Regional Relations at an Interregnum
    2023/06/09

    Prof David Monyae joins us to discuss what he describes as a new geopolitical interregnum, where – drawing from Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci – he contends that the ‘old’ is dying, while the ‘new’ multipolar world order is not yet born.

    From growing international platforms to discuss issues of public interest, such as the Lanting Forum, to the recent clamor for BRICS membership, we are seeing new qualitative shifts in international relations and new regionalist vehicles and processes of the Global South.

    Prof. Monyae is an Associate Professor of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Johannesburg, and Co-Director of the UJ Confucius Institute and the Centre for Africa-China Studies. Prof Monyae is an international relations and foreign policy expert, with a PhD in International Relations from the University of Witwatersrand.

    He previously served as Section Manager: International Relations Policy Analysis at the South African Parliament, providing strategic management, parliamentary foreign policy formulation, and monitoring and analysis services. He has published widely and is a respected political analyst, featuring in the national and international media.
