The Database will be In 2018, the G20’s Infrastructure Working Group (IWG) a dynamic reference tool for governments and identified the key elements for infrastructure growth in practitioners involved in infrastructure planning and the “Roadmap to Infrastructure as an Asset Class”. The delivery. It is built on a review and classification of Roadmap is organised under three overarching pillars existing resources and facilities across the six identified and seven work-streams. Quality Infrastructure is one of categories of QII Principles. the key work-streams identified under the second pillar The Database builds on an assessment of 466 materials, - improving the investment environment for covering both resources and facilities, which are infrastructure. In line with this objective, in 2019 the IWG intended to guide stakeholders in planning and has sought to develop Principles for Quality executing quality infrastructure investments. Apart from Infrastructure Investment (QII) in six categories, as the classification of the materials under the six follows: categories of QII Principles and various sub-categories, the Database also captures other salient aspects of the materials, including key objectives, year of publishing (for resources) / establishment (for facilities), geographic scope, sectoral focus, and policy area. The database content is organised under facilities and resources, as described below: Resources: Under this grouping, 343 resources have been identified, under the headings of framework/toolkits (16%), reference guides (19%), study reports (13%), websites, data and analysis (20%), publications, academic papers, and others (32%). Facilities: Under this grouping, 123 facilities have Against this background, the G20 IWG has asked the been identified, of which at least 50% provide Global Infrastructure Hub (GI Hub) to prepare an online multiple forms of support, including guarantees and 1 2 database (the Database) of ‘resources’ and ‘facilities’ technical assistance, project preparation, and relating to QII.

Annex 4 is a sample own database of resources and facilities, along with of the template used to collect data from the contributing submissions to the GI Hub’s structured questionnaire by organisations. This template in Annex 4 refers to the individual G20 countries, MDBs and other international original five draft principles, and GI Hub has since organisations. In addition, these inputs have been updated the Database to incorporate the sixth principle supplemented by independent secondary research (now QII Principle 1) that was added as a result of the undertaken by the GI Hub. Following this mapping and subsequent IWG agreement. compilation of information, the strategic fit of these resources and facilities to each of the six categories of QII Principles was identified. Annex 1 – How to Use the Database The Database is intended to serve as a single-stop point of guidance for policymakers, practitioners, investors, citizens and project companies to access reference materials and resources for ensuring quality in infrastructure planning and delivery. The Database sets out: (i) master lists of resources and facilities supporting QII; (ii) the geographic scope of the resources and facilities; (iii) the sectoral focus and policy areas addressed by the resources and facilities; and (iv) additional information on the objectives of the resources and facilities. It is envisaged that the Database will be a dynamic knowledge product, which will be refined and updated on an ongoing basis. The Database is structured to assist stakeholders in project planning and preparation by providing specific guidance materials and information on facilities for delivering quality infrastructure investment. For example, a project preparation agency based in a developing economy may wish to employ the latest practices in improving the economic efficiency of projects (which falls under Principle 2 of the QII), using resources developed by MDBs or by the governments of advanced economies. In such cases, policymakers may select all the resources associated with QII Principle 2. Policymakers may also select specific sub-categories under each principle for more targeted search results. Similar selections can be made in respect of the listed facilities.

  • China's Assertive Foreign Policy Strategy. Insights from the 19Th
    China’s Assertive Foreign Policy Strategy. Insights from the 19th Party Congress Alejandra Peña During the last three decades of the twentieth century, the world has witnessed the rise of China in the global economy. The “reform and opening - up” policy (Gaige kaifang 改革开放) introduced in the late 1970s by Deng Xiaoping, drove the country to three decades of double-digit economic growth and the transition of a rural and isolated China into a $11 trillion economy. A deep restructuration of the political order after Mao Zedong’s death and the implementation of unprecedented economic policies laid the foundations that would turn China into the world’s second-largest economy. China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 was the catalyst for its conclusive opening to the free market and its positioning as a significant actor in the global economy. Rising from the sixth position in the 2001 global ranking to the third in 2007, and the second in 2010, China shifted from a regional economy to a global one after its WTO’s accession. In light of this, China’s economic growth has been cataloged by the World Bank as the “fastest sustained expansion by a major economy in history”1. Since Xi Jinping’s ascendance to power, a “new era” on the path of China’s rise as a global power was established. His speech at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) recalls the fact that China has placed itself in a perfect position to translate its economic growth into political strength and leverage.

  • A New Era in EU-China Relations: More Wide- Ranging Strategic Cooperation?
    STUDY A new era in EU-China relations: more wide- ranging strategic cooperation? Policy Department for External Relations Author: Anna SAARELA EN Directorate General for External Policies of the Union DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY A new era in EU-China relations: more wide- ranging strategic cooperation? Author: Anna SAARELA ABSTRACT China is an important strategic partner for the EU, despite fundamental divergences in some areas, mostly related to state intervention and fundamental human rights. The partnership offers mutually beneficial cooperation and dialogue in areas ranging from investment and transport to human rights and cybersecurity. China is navigating in new directions, guided by Xi Jinping's 'Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era’. Despite President Xi’s repeated avowals that 'the market will have a decisive role', public ownership remains the mainstay of the Chinese economy, whereas profound reforms would be needed to tackle the root causes of overcapacity in various industrial sectors. Xi's ‘Belt and Road Initiative’, now also included in the Constitution, is the flagship international connectivity and infrastructure programme dominated by Chinese state-owned companies. Overall, China’s crucial, but complex transition towards more sustainable growth would eventually benefit both, China and the world as a whole. Global economic interdependence, however, makes certain spill-over effects of China’s rebalancing unavoidable. China plays a pivotal role in global governance and the rules-based international order, and this comes with responsibilities. Beijing has begun to shift away from the narrow pursuit of national aims towards a more assertive foreign and security policy, and increased financial, economic and security cooperation with a global outreach.

  • China and Its Role in G20
    China and Its Role in G20 Internship Paper Adhya Moona Supervisor Dr. Priyadarshi Dash July 2018 China and Its Role in G20 Abstract This paper attempts to understand the role of the Peoples Republic of China in the international forum of G20. This can be seen as an extremely popular topic within the realm of international relations mainly because China has the military and economic might, and a nation that the world and scholars believe is capable of challenging the hegemony of the United States of America. This paper has raised several rhetorical questions and calls out for further research in trying to understand China’s current position in the economic global governance. Furthermore, it is important to address the question of the institutionalisation of the G20 and what all steps can be taken to increase its efficiency and legitimacy. International affairs are at its peak of being contingent in nature especially after the change of the regime in the United States; this has changed the global ball game in various aspects. Whilst discussing the strategies pursued by China during the Hangzhou Summit in 2016, this paper has also shed some light on certain challenges that the nation came across while hosting this summit. This paper has also covered China as a part of BRICS and what relationship it shares with its allies along with the countries in the African continent. Furthermore, the paper attempts to understand the importance of the Chinese Yuan, but due to the ongoing trade war between US and China, this subject needs in-depth research and empirical observation.
