The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), launched by China in 2013,
carries and projects powerful regional dimensions and
transformations, with short- and long-term global, national and
local consequences. The BRI's regional significance lies in its
designation and creation of several cross-border corridors that
originate from inside China and extend out into its neighbouring
countries, and those farther afield in Asia, Africa and Europe.
Through driving and facilitating new trade and infrastructure
connections along and beyond these corridors, the BRI has begun to
reshape the master processes of globalisation, urbanisation and
development by affecting the economic, social and spatial fortunes
of many countries and cities. This book serves two purposes. First,
through a new framework and three case studies, it examines the
BRI's impacts on globalisation, urbanisation and development via
the China-Europe Freight Train, the paired construction of a new
city and railway across the China-Laos borderland and the
port-park-city development corridor between Djibouti and Ethiopia.
Second, the comparative analysis and evidence guide the book to
advance policy recommendations for targeted stakeholders that can
potentially turn the BRI into a global public good with greater
benefits and fewer risks.
