The Belt and Road Initiative A Pathway towards Inclusive Globalization

The Belt and Road Initiative (hereafter BRI) of China has attracted worldwide attention and participation causing a lot of debate over its implications for international society. Although it is still in a budding stage the BRI seems to afford a framework for an increasing number of countries to explore jointly new international economic governance mechanisms and offer significant opportunities for them to cope jointly with global challenges. Taking a globalization perspective and tracking the ancient silk roads this book tries to examine the general context in which the BRI is raised and implemented arguing that this Chinese initiative instead of replacing existing international cooperation mechanisms is a call for the reform and development of neoliberal globalization and will open up a new era of inclusive globalization. Inclusive globalization is neither an overturning nor a simple continuation of neoliberal globalization but rather a proposal capable of addressing the problems of existing globalization. The difference between them lies in the fact that globalization cannot only serve the spatial fix of capital but also has to meet the needs of living people. The book also addresses a number of major issues on building the Belt and Road and contains Chinese media’s interviews with the author on various BRI issues. Given the author has been intensively involved in the study of and planning for the BRI the book offers a valuable academic insight into this Chinese initiative. | The Belt and Road Initiative A Pathway towards Inclusive Globalization

Regions in the Belt and Road Initiative

Regions in the Belt and Road Initiative

Introduced in 2013 China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has had a significant impact within Asia and across other regions. This book provides empirical case studies examining the relations between China and the states in specific regional groupings including South-East Asia Central Asia South Asia the Persian Gulf the Horn of Africa and Central/Eastern Europe. At the theoretical level Buzan and Waever’s work on regional security complexes is used to develop a framework for analyzing the current impact of the BRI and its potential future effects within these regions while the case studies explore the extent to which different International Relations and International Political Economy theories explain change in these relationships as the regional security environment shifts. The contributors address questions as diverse as the domestic political and economic drivers impacting the level of BRI cooperation; the effects of cooperation with the US; as well as the historical political and economic risk considerations for China in pursuing BRI cooperation; and the motivations of regional responses to the BRI and rivalries and variations in those responses. This book will be of interest to academics working in the fields of Chinese foreign policy International Relations International Political Economy and area studies. Professionals in the corporate world and Governmental practitioners and non-government agencies will also find the contributions useful. | Regions in the Belt and Road Initiative

Regional Connection under the Belt and Road Initiative The Prospects for Economic and Financial Cooperation

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is intended to radically increase investment and integration along a series of land and maritime routes. As the initiative involves more than 100 countries or international organizations and huge amounts of infrastructure construction cooperation between many different markets is essential to its success. Cheung and Hong have edited a collection of essays that between them examine a range of practical issues facing the BRI and how those issues are being addressed in a range of countries. Such challenges include managing financing and investment ensuring infrastructure connectivity and handling the necessary e-commerce and physical logistics. Emphasizing the role of Hong Kong as an intermediary and enabler in the process this book attempts to tackle the key practical challenges facing the BRI and anticipate how these challenges will affect the initiative’s further development. The book provides a holistic and international approach to understanding the implementation of the BRI and its implications for the future economic integration of this huge region.

China’s New Global Strategy The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Volume I

China’s New Global Strategy The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Volume I

Rising as a global power and regarding the existing world order unjust and unreasonable enough to meet the interests of both itself and other emerging powers China has demanded reform to global governance and taken new initiatives using its new quotient of wealth and influence to draw countries into its orbit. This comprehensive volume focuses on the two most important of these initiatives: the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) launched in 2013 to strengthen China’s connectivity with a large part of the world through infrastructure and economic development; and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) created in 2015 which represented China’s effort in the reconstruction of the international development rules. This book explores how these two initiatives are central to China’s emerging global strategy. The authors examine China’s geopolitical and geo-economic motivations and domestic political dynamics in launching these two initiatives. They also investigate the responses from the major foreign partners involved in both initiatives. This book will be of great interest to students academics and researchers of China’s emerging global strategy. It comprises articles originally published in the Journal of Contemporary China. | China’s New Global Strategy The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Volume I
