The use of an international currency is not just a natural market phenomenon; it relies heavily on international political foundations. The historical lessons of the four major international currencies—the pound, dollar, euro and yen—show that a strong partner network and a favorable international institutional environment are the two major political foundations for the formation of a stable international currency. The rise of the renminbi, as a late starter looking to become a major international currency, depends not only on the requisite economic conditions but on governmental diplomacy aimed at attracting more monetary cooperation partners and creating international institutions that support its worldwide use. This strategy reinforces the political foundations for the rise of the renminbi. Building a network of partners supporting the renminbi as an international currency and creating a system of international monetary institutions are the real tests of the issuing country’s political leadership. This political leadership capacity has three dimensions: public trust founded on reputation building; a centripetal force driven by provision of benefits; and coercive force applied through sanctions. Comparatively speaking, the renminbi is still in the early stage of its ascent, so the development of its political infrastructure should concentrate mainly on gaining public trust through reputation-building and employing centripetal force involving provision of benefits.

合作伙伴,机构和国际货币:人民币崛起的国际政治基础

使用国际货币不仅仅是一种自然的市场现象;它在很大程度上依赖国际政治基础。英镑,美元,欧元和日元这四种主要国际货币的历史教训表明,强大的合作伙伴网络和良好的国际体制环境是形成稳定国际货币的两个主要政治基础。作为希望成为主要国际货币的起步较晚的人民币的崛起,不仅取决于必要的经济条件,而且取决于旨在吸引更多货币合作伙伴并建立支持其全球使用的国际机构的政府外交。这一战略为人民币升值奠定了政治基础。建立支持人民币作为国际货币的合作伙伴网络,并建立国际货币制度体系,是对发行国政治领导地位的真正考验。这种政治领导能力具有三个方面:建立在声誉基础上的公众信任;以及 提供利益驱动的向心力;以及通过制裁施加的强制力。相对而言,人民币仍处于上升的初期,因此其政治基础设施的发展应主要集中在通过建立声誉获得公众信任以及使用涉及提供利益的向心力。这种政治领导能力具有三个方面:建立在声誉基础上的公众信任;以及 提供利益驱动的向心力;以及通过制裁施加的强制力。相对而言,人民币仍处于上升的初期,因此其政治基础设施的发展应主要集中在通过建立声誉获得公众信任以及使用涉及提供利益的向心力。这种政治领导能力具有三个方面:建立在声誉基础上的公众信任;以及 提供利益驱动的向心力;以及通过制裁施加的强制力。相对而言,人民币仍处于上升的初期,因此其政治基础设施的发展应主要集中在通过建立声誉获得公众信任以及使用涉及提供利益的向心力。
