Sumario: | This study focuses in why China is offering loans to Latin America. Understanding the differing
interests between the state (principal) and National Oil Companies ran by performance based
managers (agent) is a necessary theoretical foundation in the understanding of Chinese foreign
affairs. My main argument is that these agents have been able to manipulate the decisions of
the state after analyzing the benefits, problems and misconceptions of Chinese Loans. It was
found the more corrupt a Latin American country is, the higher the amount of loans it will
receive. Second, the more developed a country is, the more loans it would receive, challenging
the view that China is giving loans as development assistance. Third, being a member of OPEC
or having natural resources does have a positive association with the loans granted. China
needs energy in order to continue its development path granting NOCs the especial powers
they enjoy today. |
