Neo-Colonialism in South–South Relations? The Case of China and North Korea

ABSTRACT

The past decade has seen the rapid expansion of economic ties between China and North Korea, leading to questions of whether this emerging relationship resembles neo-colonialism or a more positive form of South–South cooperation. This article argues that China's engagement is driven in the first instance by strategic considerations, namely the maintenance of the geopolitical status quo on the Korean peninsula. However, North Korea has also become increasingly important in terms of Beijing's aims of revitalizing its north-eastern region, and as such, economic relations are becoming increasingly market-led. Although this mode of engagement bears similarities with China's engagement elsewhere in the developing world, North Korea's catastrophic economic decline in the 1990s largely preceded the more recent revival of relations with China. We argue therefore that bilateral relations between the two countries cannot usefully be regarded as ‘neo-colonial’ since North Korea is receiving much needed trade and investment from China within the context of broader international isolation. As such, we suggest that more attention needs to be paid to how geopolitical specificities influence the manner in which South–South cooperation shapes the possibilities of development, and that the dichotomous terrain of the existing debate between optimistic and pessimistic viewpoints is unhelpful.

The Law

Frederic Bastiat was a French legislator who became terribly distressed by the rampant tendencies towards socialism in the French socialist revolution of 1848. His central theme in "The Law" is that the only legitimate reason for law is to prevent injustice. He defined injustice as "plunder", which was any removal or redistribution of life, liberty, or property. He was fiercely passionate, at one point writing:

"No legal plunder: This is the principle of justice, peace, order, stability,

harmony, and logic. Until the day of my death, I shall proclaim this

principle with all the force of my lungs! (Which, alas! is all too

inadequate)."

He died of tuberculosis less than a year after he wrote these words.
