“…Secondly, the bulk of literature makes a priori assumption of cohesive state-business ties linking Chinese firms (especially SOEs) to China's central government, particularly in the advancement of key projects abroad (see Bremmer, 2008;Taylor, 2014). In this interpretation, central SOEs, and increasingly provincially and locally-owned SOEs and other industrial players are metaphorically speaking the mere 'arms and legs' of China's central government which serves as the 'brain'.…”

“…China's global engagement with oil builds on its domestic experiences with oil production. The history of Chinese oil companies is beyond the scope of this article but goes back to a range of ministerial reforms and restructurings over the 1990s (Taylor, 2014) which saw the creation of three large national oil companies (NOCs) — Sinopec, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). In terms of Jones and Zeng's (2019) framing of ‘state transformation’ these NOCs were partially privatized so that commercial pressures began to outweigh geopolitical ones, particularly around energy security (Obi, 2019).…”

China's internationalization has been heralded by some as a new era of South–South cooperation. Yet such framings of development are pitched at an abstract space of the ‘global South’ which conceals more than it reveals. With some theory moving towards ontologies of ‘global development’, we need to capture both the connectedness and the local specificity of increasingly diffuse processes. This article sets out a more fine‐grained understanding of how political territories and processes are imagined and produced by and through China's internationalization, focusing on infrastructure as a ‘technology’ of territorialization. Much of the focus on China's internationalization has been on state‐to‐state relations, but this obscures the ‘omni‐channel politics’ that China practises. Using a critical literature review and illustrative case study, this article develops the idea of omni‐channel politics to posit a view of ‘twisted’ territories in which political processes and development outcomes are more complex and contingent.

“…The objective of employing this interdisciplinary critical IPE approach is to provide a more holistic exposition of the socio-political and economic dimensions of the commodity complex of rice and food insecurity in East Asia. 5 Holslag (2006) and Taylor (2014) have produced comprehensive studies on China's state-led neomercantilist strategy in the oil and energy markets; however, despite the global agri-food and energy markets becoming increasingly integrated, there has been no study to date exploring China's state-led capitalism and neomercantilist strategy in the agri-food sector. Hoslag (2006) has provided a detailed study of China's new mercantilism in relation to energy resources in Central Africa.…”

This study explores the critical intersections of food, politics and power in East Asia, and more broadly in the global political economy. Agri-food relations are often either overlooked or marginalised within the discipline of international political economy (IPE). This is despite the constitutive role that these relations have played historically in the construction of the inter-state system and their substantive significance in contemporary global political economy. The current restructuring of the global food system and its sociopolitical and economic coordinates has significance for comprehending the broader configuration and transformation of the contemporary global political economy. This study has three main objectives: (1) to provide a critical political economy study of the complex interplay between rice, politics and power in East Asia; (2) to make a contribution to understanding the evolution of the regional and global food system through an historically-contextualised exploration of the political economy of rice in the East Asian region; and (3) to make a contribution towards an alternative analytical framework for the political economy of food insecurity in the region. This study focuses on the agricultural commodity of rice as a prism through which to examine and explore the complex and multidimensional nature of food insecurity in the region, with rice providing a lens through which to explore social relations and relations of power that underpin the political economy of food and agriculture. This study has identified a gap in literature in relation to a contemporary analysis of the political economy of rice, with a second gap appearing in relation to the evolution of the global food system from an East Asian perspective.
