| Guidelines |
| US-Chinese relations are the primary determinant of today´s and probably future global politics and economics. China´s rise has challenged the US globally. In combination with the financial crisis the topic gained further significance. Most scholars have yet looked at China´s interactions with different institutions without looking at the way China itself influenced those institutions especially after the financial crisis. I will thus analyze how China tries to exert influence on the IMF, an international institution. The goal is to come to a conclusion how China behaves within the international community today. It might already challenge the system set by the US and challenge the status quo.

| Preliminary scope of work |
| In my thesis I will analyse China´s behavior in the IMF and might come to the conclusion that China tries to change the system today. The thesis aims at analyzing China´s goals in the IMF, the way it pursued those and if China by doing so stays within the current framework set by the US. General conclusions might be drawn too. In my analysis I will focus on the dynamics and how China tries to transform economic power into political power in the IMF. A special focus will be on the BRICS to be able to find out how China uses the BRICS to pursue its goals. The overall goal is to be able to put current developments such as the New Development Bank and its meaning into context. |
