Most social scientists are familiar with the concept of the Silk
Road. In recent years, however, it is the New Silk Road that has
been on the lips of many. This short guide is addressed to all
those eager to learn more about this new road. The New Silk Road
resembles the old road in that it represents an ensemble of
relationships and connections among several distant places. The
author depicts some of them and presents people, institutions and
projects connected to the road. Moreover, the various meanings and
values attributed to the new road by different people across the
world are explored. The book seeks to reveal the implications and
meanings the New Silk Road has for the world we inhabit and for its
future. "Adam Nobis's [...] is a much-needed, relevant and
interesting publication. It is relevant because it addresses
processes unfolding before our eyes and impacting our real,
socio-cultural world. It is interesting, for it discusses these
processes in an original way and competently combines synthesis
with analysis. It is much-needed as it offers the readers a wealth
of detailed information about the developments it depicts." Leszek
Kopciuch, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Lublin "This
modestly-sized book is an outcome of the author's painstakingly
meticulous effort to put together scattered pieces into an imposing
mosaic that is the New Silk Road. [...] With Nobis's guide in hand,
the reader can feel at ease traversing, both physically and
imaginatively, the paths that stretch between China and Europe."
Leszek Koczanowicz, SWPS University of Social Sciences and
Humanities, Warsaw
