Recensies en Artikelen
"This book strikes a nice balance between examining the breadth of the BRI while providing the depth of analysis necessary to understand local contexts. Unlike similar volumes that only dedicate one or two chapters to China’s influence outside of Southeast Asia, this book provides a more inclusive global perspective. [...] The detail of the local-level analysis and the geographic scope of BRI activities examined in the book set it apart from the existing literature. Interdisciplinary work is desperately needed to create a flow of information among researchers and across academic departments. This book does just that, showing that instead of retreating into our own departmental echo chambers, we should seek out and celebrate the unique benefits each field contributes to our understanding of the BRI and China’s impact on the world."

Global Perspectives on China's Belt and Road Initiative
Asserting Agency through Regional Connectivity
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
The year 2013 saw the launch of the largest, most influential investment initiative in recent memory: China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This globe-spanning strategy has reshaped local economies and regional networks, and it has become a contested subject for scholars and practitioners alike. How should we make sense of the complex interactions that the BRI has enabled? Understanding these processes requires truly global perspectives alongside careful attention to the role that local actors play in giving shape to individual BRI projects. The contributions in Global Perspectives on China's Belt and Road Initiative: Asserting Agency through Regional Connectivity provide both 'big picture' assessments of China's role in regional and global interactions and detailed case studies that home in on the role agency plays in BRI dynamics. Written by leading area studies scholars with diverse disciplinary expertise, this book reveals how Chinese efforts to recalibrate the world are taken up, challenged, revamped, and reworked in diverse contexts around the world.
