Help or Hinder? The AIIB and Outlook for Asian Development
The Wilson Center and the U.S.-Japan Research Institute will host a panel discussing the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and future regional development. Panelists include Zhiqun Zhu from Bucknell University, Sourabh Gupta from Samuels International Associates, and Wilson Center scholars Takashi Terada, Meg Lundsager, and Shihoko Goto.
Where
The Chinese-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has the potential not only to redefine the role that Beijing plays in development assistance, but also in shaping the organizational structure and governance of international financial institutions at large in the future. Whether the AIIB could change the broader economic and political orders in the Asia-Pacific will be discussed, from the perspectives of the United States, Japan, and India as well as China.
