  • 此篇論文以非洲諸國之自身角度出發,探討中國於當地之政府及民間日益擴張的影響力,並闡述當地公私部門間的相互影響,從而歸結出政府及民間不同的回應方式。筆者力引中國於非洲最大的兩大夥伴—南非及奈及利亞作為例證,並探討兩國深具影響力的紡織業糾紛。在此糾紛中深受影響的諸國,原先有著相同的動機,卻產生了不同的反應。南非及奈及利的例子,說明了民間組織扮演的角色,有著決定性的因素,甚至將影響政治層面,其中尤以勞工團體為甚。此外,政府及民間的互動,兩者間的合作抑或競逐程度,也是關鍵所在。與其將非洲大陸視為一個整體,不如逐一探討特定國家及中國的雙邊關係,及各國境內民間利益團體的角色,如此一來,將有助於了解更多中國於非洲拓展影響力的細節,並歸結出關於此議題更廣泛的論述。


    This work looks into the factors of state, civil society, and the relation between the two to explain the discrepancy of the responses of African countries to China’s growing presence on the continent from the perspective of the African countries themselves. The research focusses on Nigeria and South Africa, China’s largest import partners in Africa, in the context of the textile dispute that affected most African nations. The textile dispute pressed the same incentives on all African countries that were affected, yet still they were divided in their reactions. The cases of Nigeria and South Africa show that answer to this riddle lies in the degree to which civil society groups, particularly labour unions, can make the issue salient for politics. Moreover, another key aspect is the degree to which the relation between civil society and the state allows the former to gain the compliance of the latter by invoking incentives that derive from the cooperative aspect of the relation, rather than only the confrontational aspect of it. The implication for the wider China in Africa debate is that instead of viewing China-Africa relations in the context of the continent as a whole, more attention should be paid to the details of the bilateral relations between China and specific African countries and the role that the arrangement of domestic interest groups in said African countries plays in formulating African responses to China.
