2002年内战结束后,安哥拉进入了一个政治稳定和经济增长的时期,这一时期一直持续到2015年石油价格危机打击了该国经济。在此期间,实施了一项庞大的经济基础设施重建计划。这一进程引发了一系列改变,塑造了该国的建筑业,特别是安哥拉承包商的崛起,成为主要由外部资金资助的重建努力的副产品。本文旨在了解安哥拉战后重建热潮和2015年后危机中基础设施建设的政治经济学。我们专注于新兴基础设施市场细分的性质和动态,这种细分导致安哥拉、中国和其他外国承包商共存,当时石油租金的一部分再投资于基础设施发展,从而促进了建筑业及其附属经济活动的快速发展。文章解释了基础设施承包商分割的由来,以及石油担保融资的核心作用,尤其是中国在繁荣和危机期间的作用。它展示了快速交付基础设施资产的政治必要性,以维持安哥拉占主导地位的政治解决方案和组织权力的分配,这导致与国家有联系的安哥拉资本在这个利润丰厚的行业崛起。这些经验反映了市场分割和国家-企业关系在安哥拉基础设施部门演变中的中心地位,以及对国内资本主义利益的崛起和巩固的影响。
Following the end of the civil war in 2002, Angola entered a period of political stability and economic growth that was sustained until the oil-price crisis hit the economy in 2015. During this period a vast reconstruction plan of economic infrastructure was implemented. This process induced a series of changes that shaped the construction industry in the country, especially the rise of Angolan contractors as a by-product of the primarily externally funded reconstruction effort. This article aims to understand the political economy of infrastructure building in Angola’s post-war reconstruction boom and the post-2015 crisis. We focus on the nature and dynamics of the emerging infrastructure market segmentation that led to the coexistence of Angolan, Chinese and other foreign contractors, when a part of oil rents was reinvested in infrastructure development, thereby generating a rapid development of the construction sector and its ancillary economic activities. The article explains the origins of segmentation among infrastructure contractors and the central role of oil-backed finance, particularly from China, during the boom and the crisis. It demonstrates the political imperatives of fast delivery of infrastructure assets for the maintenance of the dominant political settlement and the distribution of organisational power in Angola, which led to the rise of a well-organised element of state-linked Angolan capital in this lucrative sector. These experiences reflect the centrality of market segmentation and state–business relations in the evolution of the infrastructure sector in Angola, and the implications for the rise and consolidation of domestic capitalist interests.
