Conclusion: Geoeconomics or Geopolitics?. 330 $aThis book examines the evolution and major elements of China?s Belt-and-Road Initiative (BRI), a trillion-dollar project for the revival and refinement of ancient terrestrial and maritime trade routes. The author analyses the foreign policy and economic strategy behind the initiative as well as the geoeconomic and geopolitical impact on the region. Furthermore, he assesses whether the BRI has to be considered as a challenge to the US-led order, leading to a Sinocentric order in the 21st century. Offering two case studies on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR), the book reveals the drivers motivating China and its partners in executing BRI projects, such as security of commodity-shipments, energy supplies, and explores trade volumes as well as the anxiety these trigger among critics. The book juxtaposes these to non-Chinese, specifically multilateral institutional and Western corporate, inputs into Beijing?s developmental planning-processes. It also identifies the role of combined Chinese-foreign stimuli in generating the policy priorities precipitating the BRI vision, and the geoeconomic essence of BRI?s implementation. 410 0$aGlobal Power Shift,$x2198-7343 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aDiplomacy 606 $aInternational Security Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912120 606 $aAsian Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aAsian Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45010 606 $aRegional Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050 606 $aDiplomacy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912020 607 $aAsia$xPolitics and government 607 $aAsia$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aDiplomacy. 615 14$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aAsian Economics. 615 24$aRegional Development. 615 24$aDiplomacy. 676 $a330.951 700 $aAli$b S.
