This book examines the political-economic dynamics in the
development of a leading global Internet giant: Alibaba. As both a
prominent example of, as well as providing the basic infrastructure
for, China's outward expansion, Alibaba demonstrates the complex
interplay between different state agencies and units of capital in
the context of the rise of global China. Hong Shen investigates the
development and expansions of Alibaba and discusses how Alibaba has
not only become a leader of China's increasingly globalizing
internet but has also increasingly served as a basic infrastructure
model for other Chinese companies to go global. Shen also addresses
how this process has been constantly shaped and reshaped by complex
state-capital interactions along the way. This book shows how
different units of capital, both inside and outside of China, have
interacted with Alibaba's developmental strategies and illustrates
how different state agencies, both domestic and international, have
enabled or constrained the company's development, especially its
global expansion. This book will appeal to students and scholars of
critical political economy of media, global media and digital
industries, communication, technology and society, and internet
studies. It will also be relevant to policy-makers working in the
arena of global internet and trade policies.
