An End to Hegemony, or a Beginning?
China’s Infuence on Monetary and Financial Cooperation in Developing Asia

The Rise of China
Since the late 1990s, when the Asian Financial Crisis struck, China has gone from being a comparatively minor player in the politics of monetary and financial cooperation in Asia to occupying a central leadership role. China’s booming trade and reserve accumulation have
redefined the structure of Asian interstate relations in a policy domain long dominated by the United States and Japan. In this seminar, John Ciorciari will discuss how China’s rise within the Asian monetary and financial order has affected the evolution of regional organizations and initiatives and changed the constraints on key monetary and financial policies of developing states in the region.
