書籍中文簡介
本書以國際關係理論的視角,探討了亞洲基礎設施投資銀行(亞投行)的問題。作者指出將亞投行視為修正主義或互補性機構的兩分法觀點並不適當。實際上,亞投行仍在不斷發展,其未來走向將受到權力、利益和地位三種考量的相互作用而影響其未來發展方向。亞投行目前的形式在理論上將影響全球戰略環境,以及國際社會對該銀行的看法,同時也會影響中國在國際金融體系中的權力和地位感受,以及在亞投行中的行動。為了實證這一觀點,本書內容包含了亞投行的演變,並將其與亞太地區的主要競爭對手進行比較,同時進行了10個比較案例研究,以顯示世界各國在應對亞投行崛起時的立場和策略。
書籍英文官方簡介內容
Studying the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) through the lens of international relations (IR) theory, Chen argues that it is inappropriate to treat the AIIB as either a revisionist or a complementary institution.
Instead, the bank is still evolving and the interaction of power, interests, and status that will determine whether the bank will go wild. Theoretically, the current shape of the AIIB will influence global strategic conditions and global perceptions of the bank itself, consequently affecting China’s level of dissatisfaction with its power and status in the international financial system and maneuvering in the AIIB. To empirically show that, this book presents the evolution of the AIIB, compares the bank with its main competitors in the Asia-Pacific region, and conducts ten comparative case studies to show how countries around the world have positioned themselves in response to the emergence of the AIIB.
This book presents critical insights for scholars and foreign-policy practitioners to understand China’s surging influence in international organizations and how China can shape the world order. It should prove of interest to students and scholars of IR, strategic studies, China Studies, Asian Studies, developmental studies, economics, and global finance.
