Its long-term risk tolerance and lack of policy conditionality has allowed developing economies to sidestep the fiscal austerity tendencies of Western markets and multilaterals. Employing statistical tests and extensive field research across China and Latin America, Stephen Kaplan finds that China's patient capital endows national governments with more room to maneuver in formulating domestic policies. The author goes on to evaluate the potential costs of Chinese financing, raising the question of how Chinese lenders will react to developing nation's ongoing struggles with debt and dependency. By disaggregating the structure of international finance, Globalizing Patient Capital has significant implications for the rise of China in Latin America, offering new insights about globalization and showing the costs and benefits of state versus market approaches to development Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 21, 2021) Subject Investments, Chinese -- Latin America Banks and banking, Chinese -- Latin America Capital investments -- China Capital investments -- Latin America Economic development -- Latin America Globalization -- Economic aspects globalism.
