Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, China's supply of critical raw materials: Risks for Europe's solar and wind industries?This article examines the dependence of the European Union's solar and wind industries on Chinese supply of five critical raw materials: tellurium, gallium, indium, and the rare earths neodymium and dysprosium. Based partly on interviews with experts, this study reviews China's industrial policies that shape the supply of these materials abroad. We also assess the short- and long-term strategies of the European Union and European solar and wind industries to ameliorate potential supply bottlenecks. While these strategies adequately address short-term challenges, we find they pose several long-term risks, such as increasing the dependence on China and hampering European competitiveness in global markets. There is also divergence in the extent to which these two industries are vulnerable to supply bottlenecks and price volatility; because more options are open to them, European solar manufacturers are less exposed to these risks than their counterparts in the offshore wind sector.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:101139 451 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, China’s Outward Investment under “Hierarchical Steering” and “Grassroots Internationalisation”The debate on China’s outward investment largely focuses on its determinants: enterprises’ interests and the role of the Chinese state. However, what these approaches often tend to ignore is that China is not a unitary outward-investing country. Instead, some Chinese provinces have been able to become the major drivers of China’s outward investment and the investment outflows of these provinces emerge out of locality-unique contexts. This research looks at path-dependencies and encapsulates different provincial internationalisation trajectories to advance our understanding of China’s overseas engagement. In investigating two “success stories” of provinces with high investment outflows, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, two different forms of provincial internationalisation based on locality-unique political, economic, and social conditions are detailed. While investment outflows from both provinces were facilitated by cultures of local manufacturing industries, their internationalisation paths are conceptualised as either “hierarchical steering” or “grassroots internationalisation.”Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:53Heft:3130 364 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Perceptions of China’s outward foreign direct investment in European critical infrastructure and strategic industriesThis study analyses impacts of China’s outward foreign direct investment on host country policies and on the bilateral relationship with China by unravelling European and Chinese perceptions. We compare how China’s takeover of German robotics manufacturer KUKA AG and the investment into nuclear power project Hinkley Point C in the UK were perceived amongst European societal, economic and political stakeholders. Based on media articles, companies’ statements, political statements and interviews in China and the UK, we argue that China’s investments in Europe lead to threat perceptions amongst host country stakeholders and fuel debates on whether and how to regulate deals that could harm security and technology interests. While rising threat perceptions have already altered FDI policies in the UK, the German case inherits the potential to alter economic policies.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:54125 258
