ABSTRACT

Why do state capitalist regimes, while aiming to increase control over the economy, introduce partial privatization and liberalization at their national oil companies (NOCs)? The article presents a case study and discourse analysis of liberalizing reforms to the management of “Health, Safety, and Environment” at the Russian and Brazilian NOCs. Employing a constructivist political economy approach emphasizing the co-constitution of state power and market power, it argues that adopting the practices of effective oil multinationals allows NOCs to represent themselves as capitalist corporations – not state bureaucracies – and thereby better fulfill their coordinating function in state-permeated market economies.

摘要

为什么国家资本主义政权在旨在加强对经济的控制的同时，在其国家石油公司 (NOC) 中引入部分私有化和自由化？本文介绍了俄罗斯和巴西国家石油公司对“健康、安全和环境”管理进行自由化改革的案例研究和话语分析。采用强调国家权力和市场权力共同构成的建构主义政治经济学方法，它认为采用有效的石油跨国公司的做法允许国家石油公司将自己代表为资本主义公司而不是国家官僚机构，从而更好地履行其在国家中的协调职能。 ——渗透市场经济。
