Routledge - Regions in the Belt and Road Initiative Book

Explore the global impact of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with this academic study from Routledge. Since its introduction in 2013, the BRI has changed how Asia and other global regions interact. This book offers a deep look at these changes through empirical case studies. Readers can examine the specific relations between China and various regional groupings. The text covers South-East Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, the Persian Gulf, the Horn of Africa, and Central/Eastern Europe. By using Buzan and Waever's work on regional security complexes, the book builds a framework to analyze the current impact of the BRI. It also looks at potential future effects within these regions. This resource is helpful for students and professionals interested in international relations and regional security dynamics.
