Since the 1980s there has been a steady shift from West to East in
the international system, economically, politically and culturally.
Emerging markets in Asia have moved up the value chain of
industrial production processes, while the share of Western
industrialized countries in global gross domestic product has
declined. Countries such as China and India are asserting
themselves in security matters and seeking new avenues for
investment flows and development co-operation. China's expected
shift from export-led growth to domestic consumption might further
change patterns of trade and capital flows, and it is an open
debate whether the growth dynamics of India might outstrip those of
China. While the rise of China and other Asian powers has been
studied extensively, much less work has been done on how Africa and
Latin America position themselves in this process. What will the
role be of Africa and Latin America in the 'Asian Century' and
associated reconfigurations of global value chains? Will these
regions be able to assert themselves and find a voice of their own?
Will they manage to develop industries of their own and diversify
trade relations? Will they launch new ways of regional south-south
co-operation? What is the role of migrant communities and cultural
exchange? Do Western and Asian approaches to these regions differ
(Washington vs. Beijing consensus)? This book brings together
renowned academics from Africa, Latin America, Europe and the USA,
who bring refreshing perspectives on an under-researched topic,
ranging from a conceptualization of the issue within new
theoretical approaches, to unique case studies based on field work.
