2.The Present and Future Trends

The Present China has already become second largest

economy in world India is tenth largest

By extrapolation of current trends China will be as big as U.S. in 5 years in PPP

terms, in 10 years in nominal terms India will surpass Japan in 2 years in PPP

terms to become third largest economy, in 10 years it will surpass Germany to be fourth largest economy in nominal terms

3. Historical Experience of Power Shifts is not Encouraging

Rise of new powers lead to frictions over Wealth (trade and resources) Power Security

These tend to degenerate into Trade Wars Resource Wars Cold Wars Conventional Wars

4. Five Positive Impacts

Growing Markets Lower Prices of Goods and Services

for Importers Higher prices for natural resource

and commodity exporters Lower interest rates for world Financial flows and investments in

the rest of the world

Contribution to Global Growth

Page 13: Structure of the Presentation 1. Brief Historical Overview 2. Present and Future Trends 3. Historical Experience of Power Shifts 4. Positive and Negative.

Five Negative Impacts Tremendous competitive pressure on

other countries producing manufactured goods and services they export

Increase in price on natural resources and commodities

Downward pressure on wages Rapid technological catch-up through

copying and imitation, plus now large domestic innovation effort, and purchasing of high tech companies

Negative environmental impact, including global warming

5.1 Trade Frictions Both countries, but particularly China have

rapidly expanded exports Export expansion is putting strong pressure on

manufacturing (China) and services (India) jobs around the world

Politically charged in context of high unemployment in developed countries

Additional frictions arguments about currency manipulation by China intellectual property piracy using access to domestic market to extract technology purchases of national resource and high technology

companies

5.2 Resource Frictions Both countries are resource poor on per capita

basis (except for coal) Put pressure on global resources, (energy in

particular) Access to resources is national security issue

for these countries and raises frictions with rest of world

For example, China relationship with rogue regimes because it needs their resources

China building blue water navy to secure access petroleum shipped through Malacca Straits

China claim to islands in South China seas,

5.3 CO2 Emissions Frictions

China became larger CO2 emitter in 2008, and largest energy user this year

India is still far behind, but within 20 years will be in similar position

By 2035 emissions from China, US, India will be as large as total emissions by world in 1990 while world needs to reduce emissions 50% those levels to avoid global warming

Both countries argue that problem is due to prior emissions by now developed countries and that they are too poor on per capita basis to incur higher costs of curbing emissions

US has refused to commit to reducing its own emissions unless China and India also commit—therefore world is caught in deadlock over C02 emissions

Additional risk that US will impose border tax on carbon content of imports from China and India which would exacerbate trade frictions

Page 25: Structure of the Presentation 1. Brief Historical Overview 2. Present and Future Trends 3. Historical Experience of Power Shifts 4. Positive and Negative.

5.4 Geopolitical China’s successful authoritarian cum socialist

economy model is gaining adherents Has performed remarkably well for 30 years, plus

much less affected by crisis Offers an alternative to Washington Consensus

development model for other developing countries Concerns about security in access to natural

resources leads it to Trade with natural resource rich rogue regimes Strengthen its military capability to ensure supply of

natural resources and project military power to defend its interests

Increasing Frictions Trade & Environment

  China and rest of world

India and rest of world

Between China and India

Trade WarSubsumes: -exchange rate -global imbalances  -FDI   

-Intellectual piracy

Friction because of China’s exchange rate undervaluation and large trade surpluses.

Concern about China buying natural resources and technology firms.

Extensive complaints about Chinese IP piracy.

Not as likely as China since it has trade deficits. 

 Like China, although Indian state-owned firms are not as active.

Fewer complaints about IP piracy than with China.

Compete in many product areas. May have divergingposition s in Doha trade

Some competition

May become more problematic as they compete more in trade.

Resource Wars Possibly over energy and resources, such as over islands in East and South China Seas.

Possibly over energy in general, and water with neighbors, including China.

Yes, especially over water from Himalayan Glaciers that feed main rivers in Asia

Climate ChangeNot controlling emissions will lead to global warming   

Risk of geo-engineering attempts with unknown consequences if mitigation efforts fail

China argues that it’s unfair to make it pay for CO2 since problem was created by earlier emissions of now-developed countries.

China may go for geo-engineering if it begins to experience negative consequences of climate change.

Same argument as China, plus the fact that it is smaller emitter and a poorer country.  

India may go for geo-engineering if begins to suffer costs of climate change.

Perhaps, because China is already above global average per capita energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while India will be below global averages even up to 2035. 

Page 27: Structure of the Presentation 1. Brief Historical Overview 2. Present and Future Trends 3. Historical Experience of Power Shifts 4. Positive and Negative.

Increasing Frictions-Geopolitical/Security

  China and rest of world

India and rest of world

Between China and India

Geopolitical Competition and Ideological WarNote this is also over human rights, nuclear nonproliferation, and form of government.

Yes with respect to Western democracies and Japan.

Not so likely with Western democracies and Japan because India’s democratic government and market-oriented system are more consistent with those countries.

Yes because of different ideologies combined with frictions on borders, water, and possibly trade.

Security ConflictsCyber warfare   Military Conflict     Hegemonic War

 Many current cyber attacks are traced to China. 

 Possibly over Taiwan or other neighbors in South China Seas. China’s support of N. Korea is also a potential problem. Perhaps with U.S. in long term.

 India potentially has great capability in this area, but there is little evidence that it is active. Possibly with Pakistan because of old rivalries and unstable region. 

Less likely since India is ideologically closer to existing powers and not considered as big a security threat as much-larger China.

 Possible if frictions between them increase.  

Limited to border frictions in short run.    

Hegemonic war between them unlikely until both become dominant powers.

Global Governance System Was set up after WW II led by U.S. Is having trouble dealing with issues it was

supposed to cover Trade (GATT/WTO) Global financial imbalances (IMF/WB) Security (UN/Security Council)

Does not address major new issues Climate change Cyber security Terrorism with weapons of mass destruction

U.S. which has de facto been main provider of global public goods (open trading and financial system, security, technology, education) is overextended and fiscally constrained

Other countries are not stepping in to provide these global public goods

Page 29: Structure of the Presentation 1. Brief Historical Overview 2. Present and Future Trends 3. Historical Experience of Power Shifts 4. Positive and Negative.

7. What has to be done?

Have growing friction points which the international governance architecture is not addressing

Represent old power structures-need to be rebalanced Do not cover some of critical global issues such as

International financial system and its regulation Environment, both from resource use as well as global

warming Developing effective new institutional architecture

will take time and will be messy Main countries/blocks have to do more at their

own domestic level to manage problems to keep them from becoming worse

Economic System

Environmentally Sustainable

System

Environmentally Unsustainable

System

1. Current unsustainable stateMoving toward protectionism, new financial crisis, insufficient technology cooperation, resource conflicts, negative effects of climate change, growing inequality.

4. Desirable state: Requires cooperation on trade, finance, technology, environment, security, increased aid for poor countries, and more sustainable development strategies.

2. Most likely, but undesirable stateProtectionism and regional trade/economic blocks, negative impacts of climate change. Likely to spiral into military confrontations over resources, exacerbated by disruptions from climate change.

3. Alternative undesirable state:Protectionism slows global growth, increases poverty, ad hoc geo-engineering solution to climate change with unknown results.

Alternative Scenarios

Page 31: Structure of the Presentation 1. Brief Historical Overview 2. Present and Future Trends 3. Historical Experience of Power Shifts 4. Positive and Negative.

Key Tasks Developing better rules for viability of global system

Very difficult to do through fully representative global forums Start with agreements among main powers

Rebalancing Trade deficit countries Trade surplus countries

Reducing CO2 US China India EU and Japan

But these things are difficult to do for political economy reasons

Involved painful restructuring Require strong vision and leadership Also require greater awareness among population at large of what

is at stake

Page 32: Structure of the Presentation 1. Brief Historical Overview 2. Present and Future Trends 3. Historical Experience of Power Shifts 4. Positive and Negative.

7. Longer Term Issues Essentially issue of accommodating

large rapidly growing new entrants Challenges

Competitiveness and economic adjustment challenge (large global rebalancing of relative wages)

Addressing increasing global inequality Finding more sustainable development

models Dealing with geopolitical competition
