The Belt and Road initiative is marketed by the Chinese government
as the "twenty-first century maritime Silk Road" and the "Silk Road
economic belt". The initiative encourages policy coordination,
trade facilitation, financial integration, and transport
connectivity. The Belt and Road initiative covers at least 65
countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe,
involving 70% of the global population, 75% of world energy
reserves and 55% of world GNP. Such an initiative is expected to
bring significant impacts to the transport and logistics industry
in the regions involved. The transport and logistics sector not
only directly contributes to the production of transport and
logistics services, but also provides essential inputs to other
sectors such as tourism, trade, infrastructure investment and
management. Therefore, it is important to jointly analyse the
implications of the Belt and Road initiative to the transport and
logistics sectors, the best strategies and operation practices that
the industry can pursue, and the right government policies that
should be implemented in relation to the initiative. This volume
will be the first in Elsevier's China Transportation Series, from
series editor Paul Tae-Woo Lee. If you are interested in writing or
