Posted by Editor on July 02, 2008 at 10:11 AM
The Oxford International Review (OIR) has published an English-language working paper (PDF) on Chinese-language literature on sovereign wealth funds, especially the CIC.
The OIR blog writes that, “The goal of this draft paper is to identify the main themes in the Chinese language press in order that we might better understand and characterize the Chinese views on the CIC–focusing on its role, mission and geopolitical impact.”

The Oxford International Review (OIR) (“an international affairs journal produced by young [Oxford-University-affiliated] scholars along with experienced advisers and world leaders”) has launched a blog on SWFs and national security.
It will publish not just analytical pieces but also articles translated from Chinese, with two of the three main contributors having native and fluent Chinese skills, respectively. The initial focus will be on the China Investment Corporation.
The academic supervisor on the project is Gordon L. Clark, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at Oxford University and Head of the Oxford University Centre for the Environment. His book Pension Fund Capitalism looks at issues relating to the use of non-financial investment criteria by pension funds.
For those interested, the OIR blog has an RSS feed.
