发展领域新力量的崛起引起了许多关于南南合作在多大程度上构成了一种更符合非洲需要的发展新范式，还是一种新形式帝国主义的伪装的辩论。本文以加纳和莫桑比克的两个案例，批判性地考察了中国和巴西在非洲农业技术和经济合作的兴起。通过历史框架、政策文件、案例研究和农业发展的政治经济学分析，我们追溯了农业发展在中国和巴西在非洲关系中的作用，以及农业综合企业的最新发展和非洲经济的结构性新自由主义改革在多大程度上影响了巴西和中国当代与非洲农业的接触。我们研究了不同的政策框架、农业政治利益和制度框架在多大程度上影响和阻碍了中国和巴西发展意图的结果。我们发现，中国和巴西在非洲农业领域有着不同的经历，这影响了它们技术和发展合作的性质。尽管中国和巴西的农业结构不同，但两国农业综合企业和商业种子、投入和机械部门的发展影响了非洲内部的合作。这些国家的利益往往与北方援助国的项目相同，而且这两个正在崛起的大国经常与其他援助国和国际机构达成三边协议，巴西的情况尤其如此。(C) 2016年作者。Elsevier Ltd.出版。
The rise of new powers in development has generated much debate on the extent to which South South Cooperation (SSC) constitutes a new paradigm of development more relevant to African needs or a disguise for a new form of imperialism. This paper critically examines the rise of Chinese and Brazilian technical and economic cooperation in African agriculture with two cases drawn from Ghana and Mozambique. Using a historical framework, policy documents, case studies, and an analysis of the political economy of agrarian development, we trace the role of agricultural development in the relations of China and Brazil in Africa, and the extents to which recent developments in agribusiness and structural neoliberal reforms of African economies have influenced Brazilian and Chinese contemporary engagements with African agriculture. We examine the extent to which the different policy frameworks, political interests in agriculture, and institutional frameworks influence and impede the outcomes of Chinese and Brazilian development intents. We find that China and Brazil have different histories of experience within African agriculture, which influences the nature of their technical and development cooperation. Although they have distinct agrarian structures, the development of agribusiness and commercial seed, input and machinery sectors in China and Brazil influence engagements within Africa. These are often variants of the same interests that underlie the programs of northern donors, and frequently the two rising powers engage in trilateral arrangements with other donors and international agencies, particularly in the case of Brazil.
