This timely book offers a critical account of key governance
challenges of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Illustrating
China's efforts to expand its idea of a sustainable
eco-civilization, thereby 'greening' the BRI, it explores the
disputes that have emerged from this process and subsequent
complications resulting from geopolitical competition. R. James
Ferguson presents a critical analysis of China's Green BRI,
discussing the environmental impact of BRI corridors and its
overall importance in harmonising the twin policy agendas of human
development and environmental preservation. The author evaluates
security and geopolitical challenges for the BRI in the context of
China's new globalism and emerging asymmetric co-governance.
Demonstrating the need for improved governance of the BRI for a
sustainability transition in global affairs, Ferguson suggests a
range of strategies to compete with, complement or transform the
BRI into a more multilaterized Green BRI. This cutting-edge book is
crucial reading for academics and researchers in political science
and international relations focusing on contemporary Chinese
governance and the significance of sustainable development for the
BRI. Its unique practical insights and policy recommendations will
also benefit policy advisors and environmental organizations that
are engaging with green governance issues.
Providing a timely analysis of China?'s engagement with Eurasia, R.
James Ferguson focuses on the challenges obstructing China?'s path
to becoming a sustainable global power. Engagement across Eurasia
presents China, its leaders and policymakers with intensified
contact with regional and national conflicts, posing environmental,
developmental and strategic dilemmas. Including an up-to-date
analysis of wider Central Asian and transnational interactions
between China and the EU, Eastern Europe and Russia, Ferguson
critically evaluates the present and prospective implications of
Chinese initiatives in the region. Particular emphasis is paid to
China?'s decision to create the Belt and Road Initiative and
establish the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Divergent
perspectives on multilateral international systems across Eurasia
are also discussed, focusing on the contrast between Chinese and
Russian approaches. Ferguson also explores the complexity of
China-Russia relations with the ongoing formation of Vladimir Putin
and Xi Jinping?'s legacies, linking their Eurasian and global
agendas. Academics researching Eurasian politics and international
relations ?- specifically Sino-Russian relations -? will find this
book an excellent addition to the literature, advancing their
understanding of China?'s role in global politics.
