About this book
Focused on the "Belt and Road Initiative", this book discusses China’s opportunities to translate economic leverage into political outcomes. The central question is how China’s expanding economic influence will transform the Eurasian political landscape. Proposed in late 2013 by President Xi Jinping, the Belt and Road is the most ambitious foreign policy approach adopted thus far and represents the culmination of China’s search for a grand strategic narrative. Comparative methods and diverse conceptual frameworks are applied to contextualize and explore the political, economic, and cultural ramifications of the Belt and Road in order to shed light on its transformative significance, risks and opportunities.

Reviews
"The study has the advantage of addressing the project in a comprehensive manner from different national perspectives. There have been dozens of works analyzing various aspects of the project, but few take such a comprehensive approach and so this study should be read by anyone interested in the geopolitics of the Eurasian landmass and the oceans bordering it on the east and south." (Walter K. Andersen, Director of South Asia Studies Program, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University)
