Chinese Global Infrastructure

Více o knize

Focusing on China's extensive infrastructure initiatives in the Global South since 1949, this work explores the historical persistence and vast scale of these projects. It highlights how contemporary initiatives, including the Belt and Road Initiative, are influenced by historical political dynamics. The analysis reveals that infrastructure serves as both a strategic asset and a source of risk for host governments and China, shaping political relationships and influence in the region. The study offers new datasets to support its findings and provides valuable insights into China's global development strategy.
