Abstract

Since the rise of China as a 'great power' in the 1940s, China has continued to expand its economic power. His role which was felt to be insignificant in the world multilateral institutions or Bretton-Woods institutions made China initiate a new multilateral institution which was considered to have a bureaucracy that was easier than the Bretton-Woods institution. In addition, the financial condition of the World Bank which is considered inadequate for the Asian infrastructure development needs and the failure of America to host China so that the American allies want to join the AIIB make China more convinced by its decision to establish AIIB. AIIB initiated by President Xi Jinping and announced its establishment in 2014. In 2015, 57 founding countries officially signed the Article of Agreement (AOA) as the basis for the formation of the AIIB. In this study, the researcher will explain the motivations behind the formation of the AIIB. This research explained through a quantitative descriptive method so that the researcher will explain the purpose of establishing AIIB in detail. As a result, by analyzing through the perspective of Dependency Theory, the dependence of third world countries on the AIIB would indirectly bring about hegemony from China.

Abstract

Due to historical developments and the works of theorists such as Francis Fukuyama, predominant political-economic literature has claimed that the combination of a “free market economy” and “liberal democracy built on equal rights” results in the most developed form of human society. With economic and political liberalism, societies of Western Europe and North America “at the vanguard of civilization” considered have reached the endpoint of humankind’s ideological evolution hence Western liberal democracy has been perceived as the final form of human government. However, the current rising wave of right-wing populism along with the exercise of protectionist economic measures in the most developed democratic countries has shown that democracy has begun to malfunction. Depart from this point, this article aims to re-examine the relationship between free market and democracy, and analyses the real inequalities manifested in income and the ownership of the means of production, and the inequalities within capitals, and between capital and wage labor. It concludes that the logic of market mechanisms poses a threat to democracy, while the extension of democracy would inevitably limit the freedom of the market and curb capital accumulation.

Abstract

The Chinese economic revolution launched since 1978 by Deng Xiaoping put national economic growth as a priority but ruled out the aspect of equity which was one of the main characteristics of the socialist state. The reVolution resulted a spectacular national economic growth as well as inequality between regions in China. Therefore, the Chinese Government, since the leadership of Jiang Zemin and continued by Hu Jintao, has been trying to improve the condition. This article will explain the strategies and policies of equitable development between regions in China during the reign of Jiang and Hu. By using descriptive qualitative methods, the data used are secondary data obtained from official publications of the Chinese government and supported by scientific articles that can be accessed through the internet. The results obtained indicate the seriousness of the Chinese Government under Jiang and Hu in revising national development priorities. The target of economic growth is lowered and no longer became a priority of development programs. On the other hand, underdeveloped regional development programs such as infrastructure and industrial development are accelerated to catch up with the developed regions.
