ROCHA PINO, Manuel de Jesús. The China-Germany relationship (2005-2018): strategic partnership and economic pragmatism. Foro int [online]. 2020, vol.60, n.1, pp.227-272.  Epub 15-Abr-2020. ISSN 0185-013X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/fi.v60i1.2592.

This paper analyzes the trajectory of China-Germany relations during the 2005-2018 period and the content of the bilateral agenda that both countries have promoted. The research identifies two priorities shared by the actors: 1) the preference for increasing their economic and commercial relations through economic pragmatism (although to the detriment of a dialogue on the values of good governance); 2) the process of institutionalization of the bilateral cooperation agenda through the China-Germany comprehensive strategic partnership. The research considers that the growth in their economic interdependence is a fundamental incentive for the expansion of the cooperation agenda into the strategic partnership. Likewise, the strategic partnership is an institution for the accommodation of their interests and the diversity of their preferences (i.e. Germany’s commitment to transatlantic relations or the principles of China’s foreign policy as respect for its sovereignty).

Palavras-chave : China-Germany comprehensive strategic partnership; interdependence; European Union; liberal institutionalism; asymmetries.
