in recent years. It is also polarized, forcing multidimensional dynamics into a simplistic dichotomous interpretation while obscuring the complexity of issues at play. This also makes the development of a sophisticated China policy in Canada very challenging. This article recognizes the need to take Canadian public opinion seriously, while parsing tougher, interest-based or normative concerns from those that would likely dissipate with increased familiarity and exposure to Asia. How can we move towards a nuanced and multidimensional discussion on the future of Canada-China relations? Disentangling classical political economic debates from debates surrounding the rise of China is a first step. Likewise, it is time to challenge long-held perceptions of developed countries’ firm behaviour as liberal and of Chinese firm behaviour as illiberal, while rethinking the relationship between markets, states and economic performance.
(In French) La Chine, parce qu’elle est au centre d’un repositionnement sur la scène internationale, tant sur le plan financier que politique, attise les discussions qui portent sur les investissements d’État à l’étranger. Ce qui est particulièrement fascinant dans le cas de la Chine c’est qu’elle a développé plusieurs fonds souverains (FS) et que ces différents FS chinois se comportent de façon substantiellement différente. Ainsi, nous proposons de répondre à la question suivante : Comment expliquer la divergence de profil d’investissement entre les FS chinois?
Cet article met de l’avant un modèle exploratoire, qui nous permettra de développer de nouvelles hypothèses concernant les causes de la variation de profil des FS chinois sur la scène internationale. Notre variable explicative consiste en des coalitions politiques hybrides au sein du leadership chinois, qui ont un impact sur la création, le mandat et les stratégies d’investissement des FS chinois.
