发展合作与非洲经济走廊建设

Abstract:The “Corridor Phenomenon” is increasingly becoming a key measure to fill infrastructure gaps and promote regional integration in Africa. Since the introduction of the “Spatial Development Initiatives”，the construction of African economic corridors has undergone a process of expansion from point to area，and now it is entering a new phase of institutionalization and high standards. The convergence of trends in economic geography and development studies has broadened the inherent meaning of development cooperation，and economic corridors，by their very nature，are playing important roles in development cooperation. Economic corridors influence development cooperation through the dual conceptual mechanisms of development vitality and development endurance，which independently operate in the dimensions of individuals and departments，forming concrete operational mechanisms. Through case studies of representative corridors in five African regions，this article finds that although the economic corridors have significantly enhanced development vitality in promoting Africa’s development cooperation，they also show development endurance that needs to be replenished. The future of Africa’s “Corridor Phenomenon” requires greater attention to its sustainable development cooperation outcomes.
