This chapter discusses China’s changing attitude, doctrine, and policy actions towards international order and offers some tentative findings on the complexity of China’s role in the struggle over the future of international order. This complexity results from China’s efforts simultaneously to consolidate its presence in the existing international order but also to reform existing global governance institutions. The ambition to seek an alternative international order makes it, at least to some extent, a revisionist state. While pursuing an agenda to reform the existing international order from within, China additionally has begun to sponsor an unprecedented number of new international institutions and initiatives of its own, such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). How this will play out will depend above all on the interaction of China with a USA still wedded to its hegemonic role in world politics.

Abstract International investment is one of the fields of global governance that is likely to be affected by China’s rise as a global superpower in general, and its rise as a global investor in particular. It has become manifest by China’s leadership in forming of the G20 Guiding Principles for Global Investment Policymaking and in establishing the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, while signaling the country’s growing capacity to influence global investment governance. However, China’s aspiration to steer global investment governance is being hindered by the increased backlash against globalisation and the investment treaty regime, as well as the rapid growth of Chinese investments. At the same time that protectionist measures aimed at Chinese investments are on the rise, the Belt and Road Initiative is underway, which will increase Chinese desire to safeguard the interests of Chinese investors. Consequently, it is possible that a Beijing-based pole in global investment governance could emerge, just as reforms are underway to address the legitimacy crisis in the regime.

A Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) e o Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), o primeiro um projeto de interligação de economias a partir da China e o segundo uma instituição multilateral de financiamento a projetos de infraestrutura, são elementos definidores da política externa chinesa no século XXI. Entender a relação entre essas duas componentes é relevante porque permite realizar inferências acerca da projeção de poder chinês no sistema internacional. Neste sentido, entende-se que uma abordagem a partir da ideia de bens públicos globais é útil, pois se encaixa em um contexto mundial de fadiga dos Estados Unidos enquanto provedor desses e aparente vontade chinesa de assumir esse papel. O presente trabalho analisa a oferta de bens públicos por parte da China por intermédio do AIIB. Define-se, portanto, que o objetivo geral é verificar se essa instituição preenche a função de prover bens públicos no âmbito da BRI. Os objetivos específicos são (1) revisar a literatura acerca de bens públicos globais dentro da ótica de Kindleberger (1973) e outros autores; (2) discorrer sobre o AIIB e a BRI, demonstrando uma relação de financiamento do primeiro em relação ao segundo e; (3) aplicar a noção de bem público ao AIIB. Verificou-se que a multilateralidade, segurança jurídica e financiamento ao desenvolvimento são bens públicos promovidos pela instituição analisada. Palavras-chave: AIIB; BRI; bem público; China; Economia Política Internacional.
