Mapping China’s ‘One Belt One Road’ Initiative cover

This book sets out to analyze how the OBOR initiative will influence the world’s geo-political and geo-economic environment, with specific regard to the ‘Belt and Road’ countries and regions. It evaluates what opportunities the OBOR can offer them in light of the constraints they face, paying particular attention to how security issues may keep some nations from fully participating. Questions are also asked about the tension and conflict along the ‘Belt’ and ‘Road’, which, after all takes in the Middle East’s most tumultuous regions, as well as the much disputed South China Sea. Finally, consideration is given as to how the world’s other economic powers will react when the OBOR inevitably brings about capital and resource competitions.

“The volume of Mapping China’s ‘One Belt One Road’ Initiative is truly fascinating in its ability to unpack China’s motives … . the book is a must-read for scholars who are interested in studying the rise of China and the One Belt One Road initiative.” (Stepan Verkhovets, Rising Powers Quarterly, Vol. 4 (1), 2019)
