One Road, Many Dreams: China's Bold Plan to Remake the Global Economy de Daniel Drache

One Road, Many Dreams: China's Bold Plan to Remake the Global Economy

Autor Daniel Drache, A T Kingsmith, Duan Qi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 iul 2019
One Belt, One Road is China's bold plan to remake the global economy. It's an ambitious strategy with a $2 trillion - and rising - budget. The objective? To challenge the existing economic and political world order. One Road, Many Dreams reveals the true extent of China's ambition, analyses the impact of the One Belt, One Road initiative and assesses its chances of success and failure.This is the Asian century and China has a plan - to remake the world economy. Under its audacious One Belt, One Road strategy, China is investing trillions of dollars in hundreds of projects all around the globe. It's buying up ports, building transport networks and constructing major infrastructure. From hydroelectric plants to oil pipelines, China supplies the labour if needed, the raw materials and the finance, creating customers and boosting its own economy in the process. More than 80 nations have already joined China's increasingly less exclusive club and by 2049, when One Belt, One Road is set to end, its number of members is likely to rival the UN. So far, China has exercised its soft power of debt diplomacy and financial might shrewdly, serving the planet's overlooked middle-income and poor countries. The rest of the world needs to wake up because the scale of One Belt, One Road is unprecedented. Its implications for the global structure of power are potentially seismic as the geopolitical ties between Europe and Asia deepen. Written by three highly regarded political economists, One Road, Many Dreams examines the One Belt, One Road initiative from all angles. It looks at the projects and the players, the alliances and the governance. It explores the opportunities for China and the threat to the West, particularly for Trump's isolationist US administration. At home and abroad, China is staking its credibility as a superpower on One Belt, One Road. Its resources appear limitless, but One Road, Many Dreams asks a tough question: has China overreached? Or can it really pull this off and remake the world economy in its own interests?

Recenzii

This book is thus far the most balanced, empirical, and profound book in English on the BRI today. Sets the bar for the many to come.
The book by Drache et al provides a comprehensive, accessible and updated review of the Belt and Road Initiative, which could be very useful in particular for students of international political economy.
Meticulously researched and fluently written, One Road, Many Dreams sparkles with key insights into China's standing in the world and its significance for the newly emerging world order. A must-read for all those interested in the contours of the Asian century.
An original, wide ranging and balanced overview of the BRIs scope, ambitions, elements and prospects that will be of interest to the general reader and specialist alike. Written in lively and accessible prose and from a political economy perspective, it presents vignettes of scores of projects and a penetrating set of questions about Beijing's intentions and capacities, local and international reactions, and overall sustainability.
It looks like Napoleon was right about China. Now that the sleeping giant is awake, she is indeed moving the world. This timely book provides a detailed look at key economic instruments through which the country is building a global infrastructure and seeking to extend its influence. Keeping abreast of the massive Belt and Road Initiative and assessing its implications are vital analytical tasks for the future. Here is the essential empirical foundation.
... combines the intellectual strengths of three scholars across the fields of economics, political science, and international relations to a broad audience... [and] provides important insights into the ways in which China and the BRI are impacting on the rest of the world
Informative and stimulating, [the book] offers a refreshing perspective on the BRI that differs from the often-polarized views.
