Throughout the years, many discussions emerged on the topic of Chinese debt traps. So far, there is no consensus among the scholarly community on what precondition may determine the situation of particular BRI members. This thesis contributes to the BRI discourse by proposing the following research question – Among the picked BRI-participating countries with similar political and economic conditions and close degrees of BRI investments over their GDP, why do some countries fall into debt traps, while others do not? The author selected six developing countries and divided them into two groups to answer this question. The first consisted of three nations that reached high debt exposure to China as a percentage of their GDP. Those countries are Laos, Djibouti, and Angola. In the second group, the author placed countries with minor debt distress issues: Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Mauritania. The analysis of economic and political measurements shows a critical precondition that BRI members with significantly lower levels of political freedom and government efficiency are more likely to fall into Chinese debt traps. Furthermore, the author determined two case-specific prerequisites. In the examples of Laos and Djibouti, the nations ended up in a debt trap primarily due to large infrastructural projects that turned out to be not profitable and exacerbated the amount of hidden debt. In the instance of Angola, the main determinant was the oil-for-infrastructure loan scheme. The thesis concludes with implications for policymakers and suggestions for future research. |
