International Perspectives on the Belt and Road Initiative: A Bottom-Up Approach: Planning, Heritage and Sustainability
Editat de Sidh Sintusingha, Hao Wu, Wenqi Lin, Sun Sheng Han, Bo Qinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 ian 2023
This book focusses on the multi-national perspectives of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in order to interrogate the Chinese government’s representation of it as a symbol of "peace, cooperation, development and mutual benefit." With specific focus on the interrelationship between geopolitics, infrastructure investments and urban regional development, the book reflects on 12 countries’ experiences in depth, including those of Iran, Pakistan, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and Ethiopia, specificly to their economic development levels, political systems, power dynamics and socio-environmental issues. The book clarifies and contributes new knowledge on the nature of BRI concerning its relationship to globalism, neo-colonialism, the notion of developed vs developing countries and their institutions and macro-micro benefits and impacts. In doing so, the book offers a balanced account of the antagonistic geo-political narrative of socio-political conflict and the collaborative framework of real socio-economic flows and development.
The book will appeal to academics, researchers and policy-makers with an interest in the BRI and its impacts on politico-economic development and urban, regional and spatial systems in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.

Recenzii
"As a framework for a fundamentally new form of cooperation between radically different economies, polities and societies, the Belt and Road Initiative would seek to recast the political-economic geography of the twenty-first century. The essays of this volume take the reader through the vast diversity of perspectives on this ideal. It is a provocatively informative read." — Ross King, author of Seoul, also Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya
"Using a bottom-up approach, this book is undoubtedly an encyclopaedic masterpiece about the 'Belt and Road' initiative, which is rich in basic information and perspectives, written by specialist experts of specific countries. This book offers an in-depth interpretation of the re-globalisation, the role of China and recipient nations, the world’s geopolitical economy, and the driving forces of future world development." — Chaolin Gu, Tsinghua University
"The latest book on the global "new Silk Road" constitutes a stimulating and timely effort. The multi-disciplinary assessment studies provide amazing insights from twelve countries. The key words of mutual benefits, cooperation, and peace are balanced against the notion of Chinese neo-colonialism. China’s "mapping of globalization" has not reached a period of full impact on the entire world yet, but future studies might show whether it is ultimately as beneficial as the authors and editors expect in this remarkable new book." — H. Detlef Kammeier, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok
"China's Belt and Road Initiative is a major force for political and economic change both in South East Asia and beyond. Some view it as wholly beneficial, others as deeply worrying. This book provides a valuable balanced, critical, bottom-up approach which examines the impact and reactions to the BRI in a variety of countries." — Chris Hamnett, FAcSS FRSA FKC

Descriere
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is China’s ambitious re-mapping of globalisation. This book focuses on the multi-national perspectives of BRI with an underlying observation that BRI’s geo-politically driven economic development approach exhibits significant differences from the US and European precedents of the previous centuries.
