Asian nations show global governance potential: report
The
report named “Assessment report on Asia’s role in global governance,” co-issued
by the Institute of Contemporary China and the World from the China
International Publishing Group and the Institute of Political Science of East
China University of Political Science and Law at the session under the title of
“Sharing Experience on Asian Governance,” is based on data from major
international institutions, including the United Nations, the World Bank, and
the International Monetary Fund.
A total
of 42 Asian countries have been involved in the quantitative assessment of
their global governance participation and contributions in 2018.
The
report indicated that China, Japan and India ranked in the top 10 among 189
countries and regions around the world thanks to their outstanding performance
in establishing and maintaining multilateral governance mechanisms as well as
tackling global governance challenges such as poverty.
Among
them, China came in second behind the US.
Compared
to other continents with different cultural backgrounds, Asian countries boast
unique cultural advantages, including peaceful cooperation, openness,
tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit, thus showing strong development
potential in participating in global governance, the report said.
However,
Asian countries are not well balanced in their participation in global
governance, the report noted.
Countries
like Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, the Philippines, and Singapore made it into
the top 50 list. However, some other Asian countries still have limited
participation in global governance.
Asian
countries have made great contributions to global governance, which could be
reflected in shouldering their responsibilities in global governance, such as
the quantity of peacekeepers.
Asian
countries’ abilities to shape international mechanisms and their voices to
participate in global governance and decision-making need to be strengthened,
according to the report.
