From petrodollar to energy-yuan: currency internationalization in the light of network effects 
 
(based on an article co-written with Irène Berthonnet)
 
 
 
Abstract
“Contrary to what is generally maintained in international relations literature, China’s effort to internationalize the renminbi has not stall after its inclusion in the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Special Drawing Rights in 2015. From 2015 onward, RMB internationalization strategies have instead shifted towards network and institutional building to support the potential expansion of its international role. This argument rests upon a historical institutionalist approach of network externalities applied specifically to the energy-yuan strategy, through which China both fosters renminbi internationalization and secures energy provision.”
 
Moderator: Thibaud Deguilhem (UdP)

Abstract:

In objective terms, Russia was relatively well prepared for the COVID-19 crisis – with its large sovereign wealth fund, relative isolation due to sanctions, low share of tourism and hospitality in GDP, and the ready-to-go vaccine against MERS that was relatively easy to convert to a vaccine against COVID. Yes, as of today, Russia is the most affected country in the world in absolute terms with its excess mortality exceeding the one of the US and approaching 1 million and is a top three countries in the world in terms of excess mortality per capita. What went wrong? How is COVID policy response related to political and economic realities of today’s Russia? Will Russian policy change after the September 2021 parliamentary elections? What are the mid-term and long-term prospects of Russian economy?
