In mainstream literature, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been portrayed as the geo-economic vision and geo-political ambition of China?s current leaders, intended to shape the future of the world. However, this volume argues that although geo-politics and geo-economy may play their part, the BRI more importantly creates a venue for the meeting of cultures by promoting people-to-people interaction and exchange. This volume explores the journey from the Silk-Road to Belt-Road by analyzing topics ranging from history to religion, from language to culture, and from environment to health. As such, scholars, academics, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Business will find an alternative approach to the Belt and Road Initiative. 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aCultural studies 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aAsia?History 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 606 $aCultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aAsian History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715000 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aCultural studies. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aAsia?History. 615 14$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aCultural Studies. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aAsian History. 676 $a382.0951 702 $aIslam$b Md.
