Evgeny Vinokurov

Eurasian Development Bank (EDB), Centre for Integration Studies, Russia

Short bio note:

Dr. Evgeny Vinokurov is the founding director of the EDB Centre

for Integration Studies since 2011. The Centre specializes

in quantitative research but also engages in qualitative analysis and

carries out activities in the following fields: economic integration in

the Eurasian Economic Union, mutual investment and corporate

integration, trade economics, fiscal and monetary issues,

cooperation in the market for financial services, systematic research

of Eurasian integration based on the theories of regional and global

integration. Over the last four years, the Centre realized 50+ projects and published

30+ reports. The Centre works extensively for national ministries, presidential administrations

and the Eurasian Economic Commission.

Dr. Vinokurov was educated at the universities of Kaliningrad, Fairfield, Göttingen, Grenoble

and Moscow. He earned a Ph.D. in economy from Pierre Mendes-France University (Grenoble

II) and Dr. hab. in economy from the Institute of World Economy and International Relations

(IMEMO), Moscow. After several years of experience in applied economy research projects at

the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), Catholic University of Leuven and the

University of Jena he proceeded to working with the EDB, being responsible for macro- and

microeconomic analysis in particular, as well as the development bank's research program.

He has actively been engaged in studying economic and political integration. In the EDB,

Vinokurov focused on the issues of economic integration in the post-Soviet space and Eurasia.

Vinokurov argued in favor of solidifying ‘the integration core’ in the post-Soviet space, thus

providing conceptual underpinning for the emerging EEU. Together with A. Libman he

developed a theory of ‘holding-together regionalism’ to explain the patterns of regional re-

integration processes. His research also focuses on integration processes across the Eurasian

continent, spanning Europe, Russia, Central, South and Eastern Asia. This approach

differentiates itself by the continental scope, covering the fastest growing regions of the world

and concentrating on the emerging economic and political linkages in Eurasia. It provides a

coherent view of Eurasian continental integration. The concept of Eurasian continental

integration was the subject of the book ‘Eurasian Integration: Challenges of Transcontinental

Regionalism’. Vinokurov argues that cooperation in should be based on multiple overlapping

integration projects of primarily functional nature involving governments, sub-national and

supranational institutions. He further argues that open regionalism in Eurasia is an economically

optimal supplement to regional integration initiatives, in particular to post-Soviet integration.

Member of the International Studies Association (ISA) and the University Association for

Contemporary European Studies (UACES). Editor of the Journal of Eurasian Economic

Integration (2008-) and Eurasian Integration Yearbook (2008-2013). Author and co-author of six

Henry Liu

University of Missouri, USA

Short bio-note:

The Wall Street Journal reported on the front page of its September

20, 1978 edition that the government of the People’s Republic of

China, in its historic move to open trade with the US, appointed

Henry C.K. Liu, a Hong Kong-born, American-educated professor

of architecture, as advisor to the PRC General Administration for

Travel and Tourism, with authority to conduct negotiations with US

companies on the development of tourism, including hotels and

tourism-related transportation, a program that kick-started China’s

economic reform and development. Since then, for two decades, Mr.

Liu has provided unofficial advice to several Chinese government ministries on US-China

relations, economic development and monetary policy. Since the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997,

he has also provided policy advice to several other governments of developing countries on ways

to deal with monetary crises created by financial globalization. Since the global credit crisis that

broke out in mid 2007, Mr. Liu, having predicted its inevitability as early as 2005, has been

providing advice to several governments on policy in response to the crisis.

Mr. Liu studied architecture, urban design and development at Harvard, graduating in 1960. He

was Chairman of the Graduate Urban Design Department at UCLA from 1964-69, during which

he designed a research facility for the UCLA Brain Research Institute for which he received a

national design award in 1967. He received a Certificate of Meritorious Service from the Mayor

of Los Angeles in 1966 for his work on formulating goals for the future of the city. He has also

served as visiting professor on the faculty at Harvard and Columbia. His interest in economics

began with interdisciplinary work in urban planning, design and development.

Mr. Liu has worked as a consultant for private clients, including Arkansas Governor, the late

Winthrop Rockefeller, for whom he planned the development of over 20,000 acres of land in

Arkansas and Tennessee that received a national urban design award in 1968. Among his other

private sector clients was the Ford Motor Company for which he provided development advice

on real estate. He also advised New York Governor, the late Nelson Rockefeller, on urban

development and clean water policy during the latter’s governorship of New York State.

Mr. Liu was a developer of commercial real estate in New York during 1970-1980 initiating

major projects in New York and Washington D.C. that later were sold profitably to other

developers.

Mr. Liu is now chairman of a New York based private investment group, a Visiting Professor of

Global Development at the Economics Department at University of Missouri at Kansas City and

an Honorary Professor at the HuaZhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.

He is also a senior global economic analyst for Xinhua News, China’s official news agency.

Commentaries by Mr. Liu on geopolitics, economics, history, culture and philosophy appear

regularly in Asia Times on Line (atimes.com) and on his website: henryckliu.com and

liaoziguang.org (in Chinese). His articles are widely read, receiving some 75,000 hits on the first

day of publication regularly and often reposted in many different languages on the Internet. A

map on the website shows the location of visitors to it around the globe.

His commentaries are carried on the website of Top Wonks, a Progressive list of experts, and

also on Next New Deal, the blog of the Roosevelt Institute.

Mr. Liu is recognized as having coined the term “dollar hegemony” in his 2002 article in

AsiaTimes to describe a geopolitically-constructed peculiarity through which critical

commodities, the most notable being oil, are denominated in fiat dollars, not backed by gold or

other species since President Nixon took the dollar off gold in 1971. The recycling of petro-

dollars into other dollar assets is the price the US has extracted from oil-producing countries for

US tolerance for the oil-exporting cartel since 1973. Dollar hegemony separates the trade value

of every other currency from direct connection to the productivity of the issuing economy to link

it directly to the size of dollar reserves held by the currency issuing central bank. Dollar

hegemony enables the US to own indirectly but essentially the entire global economy by

requiring its wealth to be denominated in fiat dollars that the US can print at will with little

monetary penalties.

Mr. Liu is known as having advocating in his public lectures that China should denominate its

export in its own currency (RMB) to reduce the adverse effects of dollar hegemony. The

approach has since been adopted by the Chinese government.

He has also proposed developing China's domestic economy with sovereign credit in lieu of

relying on foreign capital, so as to finance a national policy of full employment with rising

wages.
