Significance Last week, its partners in the ‘Quad’ grouping -- the United States, Japan and Australia -- agreed to help increase its vaccine manufacturing and exporting capacity. Each of the Quad members is wary of China, which like India is gifting and selling coronavirus jabs around the world. Impacts India’s manufacturing sector will attract more foreign direct investment. Greater cooperation over supply chains will help strengthen India-Australia ties. Indian pharma will in the long term aim to ease dependence on imports of active pharmaceutical ingredients from China.

Political Turmoil

Significance The authorities went ahead with the arrest of Nika Melia, leader of the opposition United National Movement (UNM), on February 23 even after the prime minister resigned in protest. Georgian Dream's actions have caused concern in Western capitals that approved its election victory when the opposition cried foul. Impacts The crisis is a setback for the government's stated plan to apply for EU membership in 2024. There is growing talk in the United States about individual sanctions targeting Ivanishvili and his associates. Political turmoil will harm hopes of foreign direct investment and the imminent Anaklia port tender.

Opposition Parties

Significance Nineteen opposition parties rejected the results of the October 31 parliamentary polls and called nationwide protests to press for a fresh election. They include six parties awarded seats in the election; all six refused to take up their seats and subsequently formally renounced them. That leaves the ruling Georgian Dream alone in the legislature, apart from two small parties that won six seats between them. Impacts Georgia risks following Armenia down a path of democratic implosion and instability. As foreign direct investment declines, Georgia will have to be more open to Chinese investors, harming ties with the United States. Without backing favourites in this contest, Russia will spread disinformation designed to undermine trust in democracy.

Subject Chinese investment in the United States. Significance Chinese investment in the United States has suffered a double blow from deteriorating US-China relations and restrictions put in place by China’s own government. Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows increased rapidly until 2016, making China an important source of FDI for the United States. Since then they have sharply declined. Impacts Chinese companies will look more actively for investment opportunities in other developed countries, especially in Europe. Washington is likely to press its allies to restrict FDI from China and to coordinate policies, citing security concerns. US businesses will be negatively affected by a weaker inflow of ‘China money’. US firms will find it harder to establish links with China, which may cause them to miss business opportunities there. China’s government will provide support for Chinese firms to acquire US high-tech firms.

This chapter documents the embryonic shift in custodial economic functions from the United States to Asia. Whether measured in terms of the purchasing of government and private debt, or the provision of foreign direct investment and overseas aid, the United States plays a diminishing role in sustaining global capitalism. Asian countries—most notably China, and to a lesser extent, Japan—have increasingly assumed this role because their leaders see it in their national interest. As holders of trillions of dollars of U.S. debt, these countries arguably provide more stability to the global system than Washington does. The United States is the largest debtor in the world, and contrary to any claims of hegemony, is now a great source of economic instability.

This study represents part of a long-term research program to investigate the influence of U.K. accountants on the development of professional accountancy in other parts of the world. It examines the impact of a small group of Scottish chartered accountants who emigrated to the U.S. in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Set against a general theory of emigration, the study's main results reveal the significant involvement of this group in the founding and development of U.S. accountancy. The influence is predominantly with respect to public accountancy and its main institutional organizations. Several of the individuals achieved considerable eminence in U.S. public accountancy.
