This book assesses Iran's role in contemporary geopolitics. In
particular, it examines three main intertwining circles: Iran's
development and political challenges, its relationships with
neighbouring countries, as well as its relations with the major
global powers - China, the European Union, Russia, and the United
States. With contributions from over 20 authors, the book spans
such critical aspects of contemporary geopolitics as modern
history, natural resources, the economy, the social-political
context, and strategic thinking. Particular focus is placed on
Iran's relations with its neighbours - Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel,
Pakistan, and the Persian Gulf States. Furthermore, the book offers
both a bilateral and multilateral dimension on how nuclear
sanctions imposed on Iran have impacted its strategic planning,
from the economic and military perspectives.
This book is an analysis of the developments associated with the
Belt and Road Initiative (B&RI) five years after Xi Jinping
announced both the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) and the 21st
Maritime Silk Road (21MSR). Together, these two dimensions
constitute the B&RI, providing the so-called Chinese 'project
of the century' with regional, inter-regional and global reach.
This book aims at assessing the impact of the B&RI in all these
dimensions and levels of influence. This is a current and promising
theme, not only in the short and medium terms, but also within a
broader timescale, reflecting Chinese strategic thinking itself,
since Chinese philosophy and culture are oriented towards long-term
and inter-generational perspectives. Likewise, both the title of
this publication and the way it has been organized result from the
empirical perception that China asserts a conservative attitude
towards foreign affairs, redesigned in multiple dimensions, to
create a perception of domestic unity and global prestige. In this
vein of thought, the B&RI is already influencing and will
continue to influence, directly or indirectly, the current economic
and political order.
This handbook offers readers various perspectives on globalization
and multilateralism with Chinese characteristics. Its originality
is derived from the hybrid approaches the handbook takes, where
chapters provide complementary, intertwined, and multi-level
analysis on the topic. Based on contributions of scholars and
practitioners from a number of countries, the handbook helps
readers to comprehend ongoing debates on the Belt and Road
Initiative and global governance, within a shifting balance of
world power, characterized by competing views between Western and
Chinese norms, standards, values, and narratives. Split into three
Parts, and consisting of 45 chapters, the handbook views
globalization as comprehensive concept that benefits from the
contributions of various disciplines such as geography,
geo-economics, political science and international relations. In
producing one of the most ambitious and updated outputs on the
topic, the handbook as a whole seeks to discuss what globalization
with Chinese characteristics looks like, and the role of the Belt
and Road Initiative in this process.
