The Politics of Development Financing Competition in Asia and the Pacific
Having been closely enmeshed via decades of globalisation, the intensifying 'Second Cold War' between the US and its allies and China is generating serious challenges for state and societies in Asia and the Pacific. This project investigates how they are responding, with a particular focus on development financing.
