Collaboration in the Global System Macroeconomics and multilateralism The benefits and influence of global macroeconomic policy cooperation Adam John Triggs Crawford School of Public Policy Australian National University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University. August 2018 © Copyright by Adam John Triggs, 2018 All Rights Reserved Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own work and has not been submitted in any form for another degree or diploma at any university or other institute of tertiary education. It contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where duly acknowledged in the text with appropriate referencing. Adam John Triggs August 2018 2 | P a g e For my mother 3 | P a g e Acknowledgements At a campaign rally in Virginia in 2012, Barack Obama reminded his audience that: “if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own”. While the success of this thesis is for others to judge, it would not have been possible without the generous support of a great many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank Peter Drysdale, my PhD supervisor. Peter’s counsel and support underpinned this research, and his friendship made it fun. Few people have provided more opportunities to young researchers than Peter or have been more generous with their time. Peter turned my vague, broad research idea into a tangible PhD thesis. As the intellectual architect of APEC, Peter helped me bring the economics and the politics of this research into a cohesive framework. His advice consistently steered me in the right direction. I am honoured to join the long and growing list of his former students. While the awarding of a PhD gives its recipient the status of ‘Doctor’, I suspect the status of being a former student of Peter Drysdale is of much greater value. A particular highlight of my PhD has been having the opportunity to work and publish papers with Warwick McKibbin. Ever since I was an undergraduate in economics I have always greatly admired Warwick and his work. It was therefore a tremendous honour to have him on my PhD panel. The analytical rigour and the empirical framework of this thesis is testament to Warwick’s generosity, advice and intellect, for which I am deeply grateful. I suspect that I have learned more about macroeconomics from my conversations with Warwick than in my bachelors and masters degrees, combined. One the most valuable pieces of advice I received before starting my PhD was that “doing a PhD can sometimes make you feel a bit dumb - but don’t worry, that’s part of the learning process”. This pearl of wisdom, along with many others which guided me well, came from Shiro Armstrong. As a member of my panel, Shiro’s advice enriched this thesis through his deep understanding of international economics, international relationships and role and functioning of institutions. But Shiro’s life-advice on how to manage a PhD and the process of completing one was especially valuable. Shiro made my research life much easier and more enjoyable. For constantly answering my questions and solving my problems, I will be forever grateful for his counsel and friendship. My former boss at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and Australia’s then G20 sherpa, Gordon de Brouwer, once remarked that finding political solutions to 4 | P a g e the world’s challenges was often more difficult, and more important, than finding economic solutions. Gordon inspired a key focus of this thesis: to better understand how global cooperation works from the perspective of policymakers. As a member of my panel, Gordon brought invaluable experience on how global forums operate in practice. It was Gordon’s advice which encouraged me to do a PhD in the first place; one of the best personal and professional decisions I’ve made. I thank Gordon for all his help and advice. Few have more experience in macroeconomic policy cooperation than David Vines. It was an honour to have him on my panel and am grateful for his advice across all chapters of the thesis. In a conversation with David about my thesis, he suggested: “write down everything that’s wrong with your thesis. Now, either fix those problems or at least mention somewhere that you are aware of them!”. This advice stays with me in any project I undertake. I am deeply grateful to David for always taking the time to answer my questions no matter how many other things he had going on. I would like to give special thanks to Homi Kharas and the team at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Homi took a chance on an unknown researcher from Down Under. He generously gave comments and suggestions on each chapter of this thesis. I am deeply thankful to Homi and the team and Brookings for hosting me in 2017- 18. I am particularly thankful to Barry Sterland for all his helpful comments and suggestions and, more importantly, for always supplying the beer on those hot, humid weekends in D.C. I would like to thank the Hon. Andrew Leigh MP and his team in Canberra. The worst thing about working in Andrew’s office is the knowledge that you may never work anywhere as fun again! Andrew not only employed me part-time while I was completing my PhD but also co-authored a series of papers with me on competition policy, a fascinating and quickly evolving area of policy. Andrew taught me a great deal in how to write with influence. His values continue to inspire me to this day. Australia would be an even better place if there were more Andrew Leigh’s in its Parliament. Of course, a huge part of this research is due to the generosity of the 63 policymakers who agreed to be interviewed. Their names and their quotes are scattered throughout this thesis. These individuals include current and former leaders, central bank governors, finance ministers and senior officials. These are time-poor individuals who nevertheless took the time to help me with my research, something for which I am deeply grateful. 5 | P a g e Above all else, I thank my partner, Kade, my father, Rob, my brother, Mark and my sister-in-law, Beth. They continue to support my work and my endeavours, as they have now for many years. They have tolerated my long working hours and my prolonged absence from Australia while conducting interviews overseas, attending conferences and living in Washington. Their support made this research possible and has given me the courage to venture out. I hope to repay that support in the many years to come. I have dedicated this thesis to the memory of late mother, Helen. Mum was a loving wife and adoring mother who lost her life far too early after a long battle with illness. Mum was a devoted primary school teacher. She spent her working life teaching in many of the great public schools in Adelaide and Canberra. Mum was passionate about education. She was a strong believer in the ability of education to transform lives. After raising a family and spending her life educating others, illness robbed her of the opportunity to travel in her later years, but she delighted in the knowledge that her two sons would see the world. Mum was compassionate. She was a pacifist. She was an educator. She was a loving wife, an adoring mother and is sorely missed. This thesis is dedicated to her memory. 6 | P a g e Abstract The G20 leaders’ forum was created at a time when the global financial system was on a precipice. Credit markets were freezing. Stock markets were collapsing. Rolling failures across financial institutions were shattering economic confidence. In their first communique, leaders concluded that a root cause of the crisis was insufficient macroeconomic cooperation. It was only through improved cooperation, they warned, that a global depression could be averted. The thesis explores the impact of macroeconomic policy cooperation within the G20 since 2008 and what it means for the challenges facing the world today. It poses four central questions. Does the G20 influence the domestic macroeconomic policies of its members? What are the economic benefits of macroeconomic cooperation and under what circumstances do they arise? Does the G20 produce political benefits that encourage cooperation? Has the G20 been successful in its attempts at macroeconomic cooperation in the past? The thesis attempts to answer these questions using data analysis, a new G20-version of a general equilibrium model and the results from in-depth interviews with 63 leaders, central banks governors, finance ministers and officials from across all G20 countries, including Kevin Rudd, Janet Yellen, Haruhiko Kuroda, Ben Bernanke, Jack Lew, Mark Carney, Phil Lowe and 56 others. The thesis looks at the six areas that make up the G20’s history on macroeconomic cooperation since 2008 – a chronology of the G20’s first 10 years as a forum for leaders - and their relevance to the challenges facing the world in 2018: the economic and political benefits of coordinating fiscal stimulus (Chapter 3), fixing the inadequacies in the world’s crisis-fighting mechanisms (Chapter 4), helping countries to reduce debt and deficits (Chapter 5), strengthening monetary policy cooperation (Chapter 6), reducing global current account imbalances (Chapter 7) and promoting coordinated structural reform (Chapter 8). Chapter 9 summarises the findings of the thesis. Fundamentally, the thesis demonstrates the benefits and influence of global macroeconomic policy cooperation and the cost of abandoning it. The thesis shows that the G20 does influence domestic macroeconomic policies, that the benefits from cooperation can be substantial, that the G20 can help 7 | P a g e politicians undertake difficult reforms and that the G20 has a strong record of success and remains a critical part of global economic governance.

Of course, EXIM Bank’s kind invitation to be the 2015 Commencement Speaker led me to look back at the institution’s history. I found it somewhat surprising that the institution commenced operations just 33 years ago. Perhaps the promotion of India’s international commercial relations previously hadn’t seemed so central to India’s future progress and prosperity, as it does today. Of course, it is sobering, daunting, but also amazing and energizing to realize how much has changed in just that relatively brief span since EXIM’s founding.

    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 1/4/2019, SPi China–Africa and an Economic Transformation OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 1/4/2019, SPi Praise for the book ‘This book’s accessible up-to-date assessment on the evolving trade and invest- ment relations between China and Africa is a welcome contribution to a field that is under-studied. The asymmetry in Africa-China relations is recognised and honestly addressed, including insights into governance arrangements. Lin and Oqubay’s book is academically rigorous, and also offers immensely practical guidance to Chinese and African stakeholders on how to build this partnership going forward.’ Dr Miriam Altman, PhD, Commissioner in the South African National Planning Commission ‘This is an extremely important volume. In the chatter on China and Africa, the Chinese and Africans are the very ones often left out. The editors them- selves represent a departure from “being spoken to” by a Western world with its own distinct interests. They have assembled a set of chapters of deep insights into collaboration in specific countries and which speak to a complex situation that indicates a changed world because of China and Africa.’ Stephen Chan OBE, Professor of World Politics, SOAS University of London ‘This book comes at a critical moment in China-Africa relations, as both sides explore ways to reach their partnership potential. The 2018 FOCAC Beijing Summit launched an ambitious cooperation agenda in support of Africa’s development, as encapsulated in Agenda 2063. We also agreed to advance shared priorities on

  • Development Ideas
    Development Ideas A study in comparative capitalism Diane Colman A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of New South Wales March 2015 Abstract This thesis compares the meaning and practice of capitalist development in its two very distinct forms – manufacturing and agrarian doctrines. The comparison relies upon a particular understanding of the original idea of development which unites the spontaneous development of capitalism with intentional development strategies and emphasises two distinct frameworks, or doctrines, that development policy has taken. Both doctrines are ‘western’ in their origin, emerging from the nineteenth century industrial revolution, and both have sought to deal with circumstances in which unemployment and a resultant social disorder threaten the further development of capitalism. At this time, a manufacturing doctrine was embraced by state policy makers whose intention was to transform the negative impacts of the spontaneous process of competition through further industrialisation in general. Similarly, when changes occur in the international production of agriculture, the effects on society can be severe. Unemployment in towns and in rural areas forced state officials to construct programs for re-attaching the unemployed to vacant or under-utilised landholdings. This form of development concerns a state policy of agrarian development. The ideas and practices of development in South Korea, as an exemplar of a manufacturing doctrine of development will be compared with those of Papua New Guinea which, during the late colonial period at least, was affected by an agrarian development doctrine. The intentional development paradigm of the developmental state thesis has as its centrepiece the combined mobilisation of both public and private capacity to meet well- defined, long-term, national development goals.

Public Support for Development Cooperation in South Korea Han Na Kim* and Thomas Kalinowski** This article examines the link between public support for and public knowledge about development cooperation in South Korea. Challenging previous research on established donor countries, we find that in Korea, there is a high level of public support for development cooperation but very little knowledge about it. We argue that this can be explained by three main factors. First, Korea recently transitioned from being a recipient of development aid to being a donor. Second, Korean development cooperation is conducted as a government-centred process with limited influence from civil society. Third, the dissemination of information on development cooperation is dominated by what we call “aid propaganda”, where aid is advertised primarily as a means of improving Korea’s national prestige, while the situation in the recipient countries of the Global South is largely ignored.

  • Building G20 Outreach
    Article Building G20 Outreach: The Role of Transnational Policy Networks in Sustaining Effective and Legitimate Summitry Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/globalsummitry/article-abstract/1/2/171/2363028 by guest on 16 June 2020 Steven Slaughter School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Deakin University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] G20 outreach processes, in the form of the Think 20, Labour 20, Business 20, and Civil 20, Youth 20, and Women 20, are a formal attempt by G20 leaders to engage various social sec- tors with G20 policymaking. This essay contends that G20 outreach processes are best under- stood as transnational policy networks, which are involved in widening the field of policy communication and deliberation. The importance of these transnational policy networks rest upon their role in developing and disseminating G20 policy priorities and principles; and are an attempt to enhance the legitimacy and influence of the G20 and its policy proposals. We agree that, in order to strengthen its ability to build and sustain the political consensus needed to respond to challenges, the G20 must remain efficient, transparent and accountable. To achieve this, we decide to ... pursue consis- tent and effective engagement with non-members, regional and international organisations, including the United Nations, and other actors, and we welcome their contribution to our work as appropriate. We also encourage engagement with civil society. G20 Cannes Summit Final Declaration 2011 (G20 2011) The difficulty in balancing the effectiveness and representativeness of the Group of Twenty (G20) has led to sustained questions about its legitimacy (Cooper 2010; Rudd 2011; Cooper and Pouliot 2015).

  • Emissions Trading Mechanism to Mitigate Climate Change?
    Emissions Trading Mechanism to Mitigate Climate Change? A case study in the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme focusing on the political- economic context behind the implementation and the policy design of the scheme Sejin Lee Master of Science in Human Ecology Human Ecology Division Department of Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences Course: HEKM51 Master’s (Two Years) Thesis (30 credits) Term: Spring 2019 Supervisor: Noura Alkhalili Abstract This thesis investigates the political-economic context that underlies the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (KETS). The idea of trading carbon as a commodity in the carbon market has been embraced by many regions to reduce carbon emissions and to mitigate climate change. The government of South Korea has started to implement the emissions trading mechanism since 2015 to curtail the national greenhouse gas emissions and to keep pursuing economic growth at the same time. However, the national emissions of South Korea have been increasing in contrast to the anticipation of the government of South Korea. The unsuccessfulness of the KETS in reducing emissions induces the enquiry into the reason of the malfunction of the scheme. In this regard, the aim of this research is to reveal the relation between the political-economic context behind the KETS and the malfunction of the scheme in emanations curtailment by focusing on the process of the implementation and the policy design, such as emissions permit allocation system and flexibilities, of the scheme. The investigation has been carried out on the basis of a critique on green capitalism and carbon commodification to critically analyze and interpret the collected data.

  • From Shadow Banking to Digital Financial Inclusion: Regulatory Framework Contestation Between China and the FSB
    From shadow banking to digital financial inclusion: Regulatory framework contestation between China and the FSB Peter Knaack Postdoctoral Research Fellow Global Economic Governance Programme Blavatnik School of Government University of Oxford [email protected] Julian Gruin Assistant Professor of Transnational Governance | University of Amsterdam ESRC Future Research Leaders Fellow | University of Warwick [email protected] Abstract China’s involvement in global financial regulatory governance in the wake of the global financial crisis has surprised many observers. While Beijing has pushed for governance reform in the international financial institutions and created alternative ones, Chinese representatives in the Financial Stability Board and the standard-setting bodies it coordinates have adopted a comparably passive stance. This paper however identifies recent signs of discontinuity in China’s accepting embrace of global financial standards. While policymakers supported the interpretation of non-bank financial services as “shadow banking” early on, they are challenging this frame half a decade later. Global regulatory bodies are reluctant to adjust the frame of shadow banking in order to incorporate developing country preferences. In response, Chinese authorities are redefining the label of its fast-growing non-bank financial sector to imbue it with regulatory legitimacy. They have promoted a shift away from shadow banking to the overlapping frames of fintech (internet finance) and financial inclusion. The interaction between Chinese and international regulators reveals the options and constraints the rising power faces in the political economy of global financial regulatory governance. Key Words financial regulation, government networks, China, shadow banking, financial inclusion Acknowledgements Research underlying this paper has been made possible with the generous support of the UK Economic and Social Research Council (Grants ES/N001982/1 and ES/L012375/1).
