Walden Bello – Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) – Abril – 2015, 2p.

Importante análise de Walden Bello sobre a dimensão financeira da multipolaridade, agora reforçada com a criação de um banco de investimento asiático com iniciativa chinesa mas com participação também de países europeus que não querem perder chances de contratos. Claramente, isto desloca a centralidade do Banco Mundial e do FMI, e vai na mesma direção das recentes iniciativas dos Brics na reunião de Fortaleza: “China’s move to found the AIIP is the third major initiative it has been involved with in less than a year to establish multilateral alternatives to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  Last July, during the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) summit in Fortaleza, Brazil, it was central in setting up the New Development Bank, to which it and its partners would contribute $100 billion as initial capitalization for the institution.  At the same gathering, China and its BRIC partners also set up the Contingency Reserve Arrangement, a thinly veiled alternative to the IMF to assist BRICS and eventually other developing countries suffering from balance of payments crises.” Artigo curto mas que foca bem um deslocamento importante dos equilíbrios internacionais.(L. Dowbor)
