Multilateral Development Banks as Agents of Connectivity: the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
The article explores connectivity from the prism of multilateral development banks. It recognises that theorising on connectivity is increasing, but as connectivity agency is less addressed, it aims to contribute to discussions on who the agents of connectivity are and how they contribute thereto. By analysing the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Asian Infrastructure Bank (AIIB) respectively, the article sets forth a three-dimensional agency: strategic, developmental and financial. This is in line with the multi-layered nature of the banks, which reflects the broader member states and key state interests. Next to their role as banks, they contribute to the understanding of development, in addition to which they represent key shareholder interests. The banks are both to be seen as nodes of connectivity and as active agents in realising connectivity for others.
期刊介绍:
East Asia, formerly the Journal of Northeast Asian Studies, is the first journal to examine the interplay between politics and culture underlying major developments in China, Japan, Korea, and the Pacific Rim. It is distinguished by a unique, transnational approach to political, economic, and cultural issues. Focusing on the continuing influence these nations exert upon each other, this international quarterly examines the competition, assimilation, and tensions that now shape events in the region, and will for years to come.
