    COVER STORY • Global Growth Strategy • 3-1 he True Aim of China in Setting up the AIIB Challenging the International Financial TSystem or Securing Multilateral Credibility? Author Jianmin Jin By Jianmin Jin The Chinese-initiative Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has been generating many headlines on the economic front of late — not without justification given its impact, sizeable enough to blow a big hole in the international development financing order. There is a wide range of opinion regarding the true aim of China in taking the lead to establish the AIIB, such as challenging the international financial order, securing geopolitical influence, securing benefits for the national economy, and establishing a new facility to mediate between capital surplus countries and capital deficit countries. My conclusion after examining the economic relationship between China and the rest of the world and various information coming out of China is that the true aim of China is both economic and diplomatic/ political: the former to secure the multilateral creditworthiness that is unavailable to China on its own, the latter to “exercise cooperative influence” (neutralize the idea of “China as a threat” by providing other countries with economic benefits through economic channels). New Silk Road Vision: “Stepped-up” Version regions, infrastructure was slow to develop, and the open-door policy of the Open-Door Policy was limited in scope. Moreover, the neighboring countries there were largely developing countries, so expectations for attracting capital and The Chinese initiative to establish the AIIB is founded on a regional technology appeared slim. development strategy: the “New Silk Road” strategy, or the “One Belt But 30 years later, things have changed.

Global institutions such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the United Nations, transnational corporations, rich country governments, (and even interna- tional non-government organisations such as Oxfam) are sometimes viewed as the most powerful and dynamic forces in the fight against poverty and inequality. This book has argued, on the contrary, that the main actors are poor men and women and their national governments – a combination we have called active citizens and effective states. This is not to deny the power of global institutions. In tackling global poverty and inequality they can, by both action and omission, be either part of the solution or part of the problem. They can foster efforts to build an effective, accountable state and an active citizenry, or they can under- mine or even crush them. This part of the book examines those aspects of the international system most relevant to the fight against poverty and inequality, and explores how global institutions can be placed at the service of development.

    What Development? Poverty and the Struggle to Survive in the Fuuta Tooro Region of Southern Mauritania Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher Hemmig, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Sabra Webber, Advisor Morgan Liu Katey Borland Copyright by Christopher T. Hemmig 2015 Abstract Like much of Subsaharan Africa, development has been an ever-present aspect to postcolonial life for the Halpulaar populations of the Fuuta Tooro region of southern Mauritania. With the collapse of locally historical modes of production by which the population formerly sustained itself, Fuuta communities recognize the need for change and adaptation to the different political, economic, social, and ecological circumstances in which they find themselves. Development has taken on a particular urgency as people look for effective strategies to adjust to new realities while maintaining their sense of cultural identity. Unfortunately, the initiatives, projects, and partnerships that have come to fruition through development have not been enough to bring improvements to the quality of life in the region. Fuuta communities find their capacity to develop hindered by three macro challenges: climate change, their marginalized status within the Mauritanian national community, and the region's unfavorable integration into the global economy by which the local markets act as backwaters that accumulate the detritus of global trade. Any headway that communities can make against any of these challenges tends to be swallowed up by the forces associated with the other challenges.

    Loh & NIAS Democracy in Asia series, 10 Öjendal (eds) SOUTHEAST ASIAN RESPONSES TO GLOBALIZATION Restructuring Governance and Deepening Democracy SOUTHEAST ASIAN RESPONSES TO GLOBALIZATION Edited by Francis Loh Kok Wah and Joakim Öjendal It is now apparent, especially in the aftermath of the regional financial crisis of 1997, that globalization has been impacting upon the Southeast Asian economies and societies in new and harrowing ways, a theme of many SOUTHEAST ASIAN recent studies. Inadvertently, these studies of globalization have also high- lighted that the 1980s and 1990s debate on democratization in the region Responses to – which focused on the emergence of the middle classes, the roles of new social movements, NGOs and the changing relations between state and civil society – might have been overly one-dimensional. GLOBALIZATION This volume revisits the theme of democratization via the lenses of globalization, understood economically, politically and culturally. Although globalization increasingly frames the processes of democracy and develop- restructuring governance and ment, nonetheless, the governments and peoples of Southeast Asia have deepening democracy been able to determine the pace and character – even the direction of these processes – to a considerable extent. This collection of essays (by some distin- guished senior scholars and other equally perceptive younger ones) focuses on this globalization–democratization nexus and shows, empirically and ana- lytically, how governance is being restructured and democracy sometimes

  • The Neocolonialism of Postcolonialism: a Cautionary Note
    Links & Letrers 4, 1997 19-24 The Neocolonialism of Postcolonialism: A Cautionary Note Graham Huggan Harvard University July 1996 Abstract Why is it that, in a conspicuously neocolonial global environment, the terrn «postcoloni- alisrn))has achieved such widespread acadernic currency? This paper analyzes the current vogue for postcolonial studies in western universities, presenting both a challenge to its commodified intellectual status and a defense of its capacity for cultural critique. «Postco- lonialism,» the paper argues, does not imply that the colonial era is over; on the contrary, it confronts the «neocoloniality»of our present times. Key words: Postcolonialisrn, Neocolonialism, global hegemony, cornmodity culture. There appears to be in both [the] subdisciplines [of ((ThirdWorld Literature)) and «Colonial Discourse Analysis*] far greater interest in the colonialism of the past than in the irnperialism of the present. (Ahmad, 1992: 93) We live in neocolonial, not postcolonial, times. US military intervention in the Gulf and the Horn of Africa; structural dependency in the Caribbean and Latin America; continuing racial oppression and factional strife in South Africa, much of Asia, the Pacific, and the Middle East; the global hegemonies exercised by multinational companies and information industries; favoured- nation treaties and trade blocs that reinforce economic divides; a variety of internecine struggles tacitly supported by the former imperial powers; wide- spread corruption in sponsored autocratic regimes across the so-called ((Third Worldn; rising ethnic violence everywhere, including in ((FortressEurope)): al1 of these afford unwanted reminders of Fanon's dictum that colonialism doesn't come to an end with the declaration of political independence, or with the symbolic lowering of the last European flag.
