Herausforderungen für den US-Dollar und das Währungsregime

https://doi.org/10.32387/prokla.v53i213.2081Schlagworte:
BRICS, New Development Bank, US-Dollar, VR China, WährungsregimeAbstract
Vor dem Hintergrund bisheriger Versuche, Alternativen zum US-Dollar als Weltgeld und zum IWF-geprägten Währungssystem zu entwickeln, werden die währungspolitischen Initiativen der Volksrepublik China vorgestellt. Da diese Bestrebungen den Status quo bisher nicht ernsthaft infrage stellen, wird mithilfe diverser Theorien der Internationalen Politischen Ökonomie die Zukunft sowohl des US-Dollars als auch des Währungsregimes abgeschätzt. Eine gramscianische Deutung verortet die bisherigen chinesischen Initiativen zum einen auf dem Terrain des jetzigen Systems und hält diese zum anderen für nicht verallgemeinerbar im globalen Kapitalismus.
