Résumé :
[en] This chapter attempts to complement existing scholarly work by taking a holistic and contextual view of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). It addresses the following questions: How are the business fundamentals of the EIB and AIIB organized so as to fulfil their broader objectives? How are they ‘equipped’ to meet the requested increased objectives and face the current and future challenges? What role do these two institutions play in the regional development bank (RDB) field? And what are their future prospects in this field? In attempting to answer these questions this chapter follows a synthetic approach by initially investigating each RDB individually as an organizational entity and subsequently as an actor in the field of RDB. In order to analyse the EIB and AIIB as organizations, this chapter employs a novel mechanism developed by the author with recourse to Business Models and the Theory of Fields.
