亞投行初登板

簡介:在最初構思亞投行的時候,中國的地位赤字很高,這意味著在全球權力鬥爭中,亞投行更有可能被一個不滿意現狀的中國所操控。隨著亞投行的發展,中國的國際金融地位得到了積極的認可,亞投行也得到了更廣泛的接受,使得中國的地位赤字縮小了。因此,亞投行成為一個有改革意識的多邊金融機構,做出讓步以建立規則,並尋求與其它國際金融機構的合作。

英文摘要
This paper seeks to explore whether the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has become an instrument of power led by China to fulfill her geopolitical interests. After an investigation of the AIIB’s power structure, institutional design, and its 34 approved projects, this study finds that although the AIIB deviates to some extent from international standards while considering loan decisions, the bank itself does not appear to be a norm challenger so far. Instead, it has become more cooperative and inclusive, with a shifting focus towards mutually beneficial cooperation and reform of the international financial system. This paper argues that the AIIB’s current configuration results from the decrease in China’s status deficit—the gap between China’s recognized international financial status and its own perception of its financial power. Quantitative and qualitative evidence shows that when the idea of the AIIB was first conceived, China’s status deficit was large, which meant that in a global power struggle the AIIB was more likely to be manipulated by a dissatisfied China. As the AIIB evolved, China’s international financial status gained positive recognition and the AIIB received wider acceptance; China’s status deficit shrank. As a result, the AIIB has become a reform-minded multilateral financial institution that has made concessions to establish rules and has sought collaboration with its counterparts.

中文摘要
本論文旨在探討亞洲基礎設施投資銀行(亞投行)是否已成為由中國主導以實現其地緣政治利益的工具。在研究了AIIB的權力結構、機構設計和其34個批准項目後,本研究發現,雖然在考慮發展金融的貸款決策時,亞投行在某種程度上偏離了國際標準,但該銀行本身目前似乎並不是一個挑戰國際規範的機構。相反,它變得更具合作性和包容性,重點轉向互利合作和國際金融體系改革。本文認為,亞投行的當前制度設計是中國地位赤字的結果—即中國在國際金融領域被承認的地位與其自身對其金融實力的認知之間的差距。量化和質性證據均表明,在最初構思亞投行的時候,中國的地位赤字很高,這意味著在全球權力鬥爭中,亞投行更有可能被一個不滿意現狀的中國所操控。隨著亞投行的發展,中國的國際金融地位得到了積極的認可,亞投行也得到了更廣泛的接受,使得中國的地位赤字縮小了。因此,亞投行成為一個有改革意識的多邊金融機構,做出讓步以建立規則,並尋求與其它國際金融機構的合作。
