政治如何在货币国际化中发挥作用?

What Is Politics' Status in the Process of Currency Internationalization?

纵观国际货币体系发展的历史长河,主要国际货币角色转换进程的背后都贯穿着一条清晰的逻辑主线——强权与强币紧密结合。货币国际化和政治势力密不可分,从希腊的斯达特到今天的美元和欧元,每一种国际货币都是在继承前身货币特权的同时取代了前身的国际政治地位。本文从国际货币权力、国际公共商品和币缘政治等角度进行分析,揭示货币国际化与货币发行国政治实力的紧密联系,一国(或地区)的货币要国际化,强大的政治实力是最基本的保障,也是必须要具备的根本因素。本文还依托于美元的相关数据,证明了美国强大的政治军事实力是美元在未来中长期继续保持强势的最有力保障。

Throughout the long history of international monetary system development, there is always a clear logic rule during the international money conversion process, namely, the combination of power and currency. Currency internationalization and the political forces are inseparable; all of the international currencies are inheriting prede- cessor currency＇s privilege while replacing its corresponding international political status simultaneously. This paper tries to reveal the close relationship between currency internationalization and the political power from international currency power, international public goods and currency pblitics point of view. Strong political force is the most basic guarantee and necessary underlying factor for currency internationalization. This paper also proves that a powerful political and military strength is the most effective protec- tion for US Dollar to remain its status in the medium and long term by useful datum.
