Trusts and Doubts in Africa Over Belt and Road Initiative: A Thematic Content Analysis of Opinions in Ethiopian Twittersphere

Öz:
China’s Belt and Road Initiative is a massive infrastructural project that Ethiopia is encompassed. Yet, in Ethiopia, public opinion over the subject has never been homogenous as there are both apparent faiths that the initiative would positively contribute to Ethiopia’s economy, and suspicions that it is merely China’s veiled ambition to accelerate its expansion in global economy and politics, intensifying the concerns that China will not be any different from former colonial powers for African nations. Besides mainstream media coverage, much of the debate over this initiative has increasingly happened on social networking sites as attributable to their relative accessibility and autonomy. By employing a thematic content analysis of Twitter contents generated by opinion technicians during the 2019 Belt and Road Initiative Forum in Beijing, this article examines how opinion technicians over the Ethiopian Twittersphere discuss the initiative.

Afrika’da Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi Üzerinde Güven ve Şüpheler: Etiyopya Twitter Uzamındaki Kanaatlerin Tematik İçerik Analizi

Öz:
Çin'in başlattığı Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi, Etiyopya'yı da kapsayan devasa bir altyapı projesidir. Bununla birlikte, Girişimin Etiyopya ekonomisine olumlu yönde katkıda bulunacağına dair güvenin yanı sıra Çin'in hem Afrika ülkeleri için eski sömürgeci güçlerden farklı olmayacağı endişeleri hem de Çin’in küresel ekonomi ve siyasetteki genişlemesini hızlandırma konusunda örtülü bir hırsa sahip olduğuna dair şüpheler bulunmasından dolayı Girişime dair Etiyopya’daki kamuoyu tartışmaları hiçbir zaman tek yönlü olmamıştır. Ana akım medyanın Girişime dair haberlerinin yanı sıra, Girişim hakkındaki tartışmaların çoğu göreli erişilebilirliklerine ve özerkliklerine atfedilebilecek şekilde sosyal ağ sitelerinde giderek daha fazla gerçekleşmiştir. Bu çalışma, Pekin'de2019’da gerçekleşen Kuşak ve Yol Forumu sırasında kanaat teknisyenleri tarafından üretilen Twitter içeriklerinin tematik içerik analizini üzerinden Etiyopya’daki Twitter uzamında kanaat teknisyenlerinin Girişimi nasıl temsil ettiğini incelemektedir.
