The Silk Road of the 21st Century, announced by Chinese President
Xi Jinping in 2013, will certainly change the world. It will
definitely stimulate economic growth and prosperity in China, the
rest of Asia and elsewhere. But how can we prevent the
environmental damage and the increasing inequality on a planetary
scale brought about by the construction of this "road" - or in
reality: a network of highways, railways, sea routes and other
connections? This book deals with the question for the Maritime
branch of the new Silk Road and discusses relevant strategies and
technologies for sustainable and responsible port innovation and
development. The backbone of the study is formed by a number of
case studies of port projects in and outside of China. Some
chapters focus on best practices, while others discuss new academic
viewpoints, but in all cases, suggestions for improvement are
given. Based on the idea that a large investment agenda also
creates moral responsibility, the Chinese cases also serve to
ascertain whether and to what extent they can serve as an example
for projects elsewhere. A few introductory and thematic chapters
and the conclusion give steering and sense to the rest of the book.
Ultimately, this title gives a first and coherent analysis and
assessment of a project that is unparalleled in the world and that
constitutes an important determining factor for our future.
