China’s BRI Project: Regional and Global Dimensions

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), evocative of the historic Silk Road, is an enormous infrastructure project of China that seeks to connect Asia with Africa and Europe via land and maritime networks. However, due to the disconcerting extension of China’s rising power, skyrocketed opposition has grown in some countries. Thus, the BRI will turn out to be one of the most authoritative geopolitical and economic developments of the twenty-first century with far-reaching repercussions in global power architecture. But, critics worry that China is laying a debt trap for borrowing governments. The book, ‘China’s BRI Project: Regional and Global Dimensions’ insinuates the deepening of regional cooperation and connectivity improvement on a trans-continental scale with its global and regional reverberations in power architecture. The book is useful for academicians, policymakers, scholars, researchers, sociologists, industrialists, and people involved in Chinese strategy and policy research.
