We argue that the BRI is the main pillar of the new fi nancial institutionalism proposed by China to redefi ne the current global fi nancial architecture and that, consequently, the initiative needs to be considered in that context. This paper (i) reviews the timeline that led to this Chinese-led new fi nancial institutionalism, (ii) proposes two theoretical frameworks to defi ne the concept of multilateral fi nancial statecraft and of new fi nancial institutionalism led by China, and (iii) enumerates the main differences and similarities observed between this new fi nancial institutionalism and the one dominated by the Bretton Woods-related institutions that gradually emerged after World War II, such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Marshall Plan, and the Asian Development Bank.

  • ESID Working Paper 07 the Politics of Aid Revisited
    ESID Working Paper 07 The Politics of Aid Revisited: A Review of Evidence on State Capacity and Elite Commitment Arjan de Haan1, Ward Warmerdam2 February 2012 1 IDRC, Ottawa 2ISS, Erasmus University, The Hague ISBN: 978-1-908749-04-8 email: [email protected] Effective States and Inclusive Development Research Centre (ESID) School of Environment and Development, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK www.effective-states.org Abstract Based on a systematic review of the impacts of aid on both state capacity for, and elite commitment to, sustainable development, we conclude that a better understanding of the impact of aid has the potential to directly inform practices of international development. This requires better empirical insight into how donors interact with formal and informal institutions in the countries where they work, particularly in aid-dependent countries. Furthermore, it is critical to see aid as part of a spectrum of international exchange, rather than in isolation. This implies a significant research agenda, combining quantitative and in-depth qualitative analysis, as there are barriers for more informed political analysis to inform practice; and little analysis exists of how donors, even where they do start adopting a political perspective, do influence local institutions and the people they work with. The paper develops this conclusion through a review of existing large research programmes on politics of international development, the role and impact of donors political economy approaches, a scan of the literature on aid modalities, and a brief review of the practices of emerging donors, particularly China. Keywords Aid, state capacity, elite commitment, sustainable development, politics, international development, emerging donors, aid effectiveness, China.

  • Rethinking International Institutions: a Global South Agenda
    RETHINKING INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: A GLOBAL SOUTH AGENDA Centre for Global Governance and Policy Jindal School of International Affairs & Jindal Global Law School O.P. Jindal Global University “JSIA will make a signal contribution to scholarship and training in India in the area of International Affairs. The vision of its founders, the quality of its faculty and the careful design of its programs of study all make this an institution with the highest potential. I am honored to serve on JSIA’s Board of International Advisers.” Beth Simmons Director of the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and Clarence Dillon Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University. “There are many asymmetries of capability in this increasingly globalized but highly unequal world. For universities and social science scholarship, one of the most immediate asymmetries is in higher education: not enough scholars are educated in the rapidly growing developing countries, familiar with their conditions and reflecting their distinctive perspectives. If the Jindal School of International Affairs helps to alleviate this asymmetry, it will be a very important institution indeed.” Robert O. Keohane Professor of International Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University. “JSIA is an important intervention in India’s higher education system by bringing in a much-needed social science focus. This School will enhance knowledge about Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean in India and play a pivotal role in re-energising South-South cooperation, which requires rigorous intellectual exchange and action in the context of a changing world order.” Horace Campbell Professor of Political Science and African American Studies, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University.

  • The World Bank and China
    The World Bank and China Over the past 20 years, China achieved both an extraordinary decline in poverty and high levels of education and health status. In 1978, China was among the world's poorest countries, with 80 percent of the population having incomes of less than US$1 a day and only a third of all adults able to read or write. By 1998, the proportion of the population with incomes less than US$1 a day had declined to about 12 percent, life expectancy was an enviable 70 years, and illiteracy among 15 to 25 year-olds was about 7 percent. A gradual introduction of economic reforms launched the growth process and rapid structural change that dramatically transformed the face of China and reduced the incidence of poverty. Official figures put the growth of China's per capita real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at an annual average of 8 percent during 1978-96. Over that period, per capita income doubled every ten years, faster than almost any country in recent history. When growth began to slacken in 1997 with the regional financial downturn and the effects of China's accelerating financial and industrial restructuring, the Government adopted an appropriate program of domestic demand stimulus. The stimulus package—largely using monetary policy and domestic bond issues for infrastructure development and technology upgrading in key industries—kept the economy growing at 7.8 percent in 1998 and 7.1 percent in 1999. Economic performance in the year 2000 promises to maintain the rebound, with 8.2 percent growth in the first half of the year, surging exports and contracted foreign direct investment, and a 20 percent increase in tax revenues compared to the previous year.

    CLR Review Independent Evaluation Group 1. CAS/CPS Data Country: China CAS/CPS Year: FY13 CAS/CPS Period: FY13 – FY17 CLR Period: FY13 – FY17 Date of this review: November 20, 2019 2. Ratings CLR Rating IEG Rating Development Outcome: Satisfactory Satisfactory WBG Performance: Good Good 3. Executive Summary i. This review of the World Bank Group’s (WBG) Completion and Learning Review (CLR) covers the period of the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS), FY13-17, as updated in the Performance and Learning Review (PLR) dated January 6, 2015. The PLR extended the CPS period by six months to the end of calendar year 2016. ii. China, with a population of 1.4 billion, is an upper middle- income country with a GNI per capita of $8,690 in 2017. During 2013-2017, the economy grew annually at 7.1 percent on average, slower than the previous CPS period of 11.0 percent. A long period of economic growth put pressure on the environment and raised serious sustainability challenges. China is now contributing around 30 percent to the world’s GHG emissions, partly because it is the largest consumer of carbon for electricity. Significant gains in poverty reduction continued during the CPS period. Absolute poverty, measured at $1.90 per day (2011 PPP), dropped from 1.9 percent in 2013 to 0.5 percent in 2018. Poverty and vulnerability in China are concentrated in rural areas and lagging regions in Central and Western China. The welfare of the bottom 40 percent of the income distribution has increased steadily. The Gini coefficient dropped to .46 in 2015 after having risen to a high of .5 in 2008.
