New Multilateral Development Banks: A Cornerstone of Chinese Superpower Politics?

With the "Monitor Development Policy" series, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation aims to shed light on the role of non-traditional donors in development cooperation. This time we take a look at two multilateral development banks: the BRICS countries' NDB, headquartered in Shanghai, and the AIIB, headquartered in Beijing. With their establishment, China is challenging the dominance of the USA in development finance and is making clear its global leadership claims.

A Double-Edged Chinese Sword

China’s Development Cooperation as a Challenge and an Opportunity

The People's Republic of China is still an OECD-classified developing country. At the same time, the world's second largest economy has become one of the largest donors in development cooperation in recent years. China defines itself as a development partner in the South-South cooperation and is promoting its economic and geostrategic ambitions within this framework. For German development policy, this approach presents both: a challenge and an opportunity.
