Spanning more than 100 nations and projected to cost more than US$1 trillion dollars, the Belt and Road Initiative, China's global infrastructure connectivity project, claims to be liberating the world from US domination. Many international institutions have warned member countries that liberation through the BRI comes with the cost of crippling debt and a loss of sovereignty. Chinese President Xi Jinping has attempted to allay these concerns by stating that the BRI "is not a Chinese "conspiracy," but rather a new platform for international cooperation to benefit peoples along the routes.In addition to asking whether or not the BRI is good for the world, another prominent question is whether China can actually fund and complete the largest project ever undertaken by any nation in human history. This book offers a region by region analysis of the BRI, examining the current state of both the projects and China's relations across the globe.

Download and read online ebook The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative write by Jeremy Garlick. This book was released on 2019-11-15. The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book merges macro- and micro-level analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to dissect China’s aim in creating an integrated Eurasian continent through this single mega-project. BRI has been the source of much interest and confusion, as established frameworks of analysis seek to understand China’s intentions behind the policy. China’s international activity in the early 21st century has not yet been successfully theorised by IR scholars because of a failure to satisfactorily encompass its complexity. In addition, the mix-and-match syncretism of the Chinese approach to foreign policy has been under-emphasised or omitted in many analyses. Bringing together complexity thinking and analytic eclecticism to assess the degree to which this scheme can transform international relations, Garlick critically examines this large-scale interconnectivity project and its potential impacts. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of international relations and China studies including academics, policy-makers and diplomats around the world.

Lampton. This book was released on 2020-10-13. Rivers of Iron available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. What China’s infamous railway initiative can teach us about global dominance. In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled what would come to be known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—a global development strategy involving infrastructure projects and associated financing throughout the world, including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. While the Chinese government has framed the plan as one promoting transnational connectivity, critics and security experts see it as part of a larger strategy to achieve global dominance. Rivers of Iron examines one aspect of President Xi Jinping’s “New Era”: China’s effort to create an intercountry railway system connecting China and its seven Southeast Asian neighbors (Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam). This book illuminates the political strengths and weaknesses of the plan, as well as the capacity of the impacted countries to resist, shape, and even take advantage of China’s wide-reaching actions. Using frameworks from the fields of international relations and comparative politics, the authors of Rivers of Iron seek to explain how domestic politics in these eight Asian nations shaped their varying external responses and behaviors. How does China wield power using infrastructure? Do smaller states have agency? How should we understand the role of infrastructure in broader development? Does industrial policy work? And crucially, how should competing global powers respond?

Download and read online ebook Silk Road to Belt Road write by Md. Nazrul Islam. This book was released on 2018-11-30. Silk Road to Belt Road available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This volume approaches China’s Belt and Road Initiative as a process of culturalization, one that started with the Silk Road and continued over the millennium. In mainstream literature, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been portrayed as the geo-economic vision and geo-political ambition of China’s current leaders, intended to shape the future of the world. However, this volume argues that although geo-politics and geo-economy may play their part, the BRI more importantly creates a venue for the meeting of cultures by promoting people-to-people interaction and exchange. This volume explores the journey from the Silk-Road to Belt-Road by analyzing topics ranging from history to religion, from language to culture, and from environment to health. As such, scholars, academics, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Business will find an alternative approach to the Belt and Road Initiative.
