The foundation of the Asian Bank for investment in infrastructure, created with the aim of boosting growth in Asia, but it is in clear competition with the Asian Development Bank. Behind these two institutions there are the two major world powers, seeking to exploit the potential of the continent's fastest growing. The first to be established was the second, the impetus behind the US, Japan, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, it is a distinctly Western institution, whose president has always been a Japanese. The first bank, recently founded, is an attempt by China to break the monopoly on Western financial Asian continent; the large liquidity Beijing has attracted, but the accession of Western governments, allies of the first row of Washington. It is the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy, which have seen a clear business opportunity for their economies, in a continent characterized by high rates of growth, which is, especially in the construction of infrastructure is a potential market of incredible value. Despite the protests of the United States, which has seen membership as a favor to the western China, European countries have not gone back, not to lose economic opportunities not otherwise possible. Besides the economic fact, that is the link to the base of the accession to the new financial institution, it is interesting to note the data input into a political organization that is characterized by its transversal, with respect to existing international schemes. There has been talk of multipolarity in fact, meaning a meeting of states that are not politically assimilated to political and military alliance, but they find an agreement on the basis of economic needs. This is the signal of a new phase of international relations, where the interlinkages based on economics and finance, can take on a successful completion of other types of conflict, or at least provide a basis for relationships more relaxed. At this stage, of course, there is the American resentment for what Washington considered a kind of betrayal; but exceeded this time, this example could also serve the US to create similar institutions in other parts of the world, along with traditionally been on different positions. That indicated by the founding of the Bank of Asian investment in infrastructure can become a model for overcoming political differences and find common areas of agreement, they can go beyond the economic factor. Certainly this vision, yet goes beyond what are the current conditions based on a hope rather than a certainty, the experiment is the beginning and if conflicts arise on key issues such as financial transparency and the protection of workers' rights or the environment, may deteriorate the starting conditions, which seem to be oriented to a collaboration can generate considerable economic profits. On the other hand it is preferable to be within this institution, given the real opportunity to be part of it, rather than refuse for political reasons. Is cos' ensured the opportunity to accomplish a common pathway that may initiate practical cooperation for the drafting of common rules, which can also function as an example in the event of the construction of other organisms multipolar, ninth necessarily economic. The opportunity is so huge from the point of view of international relations and to be welcomed even by those who wanted to stay out for not having understood the scope.
