This book studies the geopolitical and geoeconomic aspects of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It argues that BRI has the potential to redesign the spatial and territorial dimensions of governance and effectively counterbalance the hitherto predominant hegemonies of the Anglo-American sea power. The volume: * Highlights the main geopolitical patterns, including geographical, economic, financial, technological, and strategic factors guiding the BRI on a global scale; * Presents a historical account of the development of the Silk Road and underlines its contemporary relevance; * Traces China's growing influence from Eurasia to America; and * Discusses how the Initiative is likely to transform international relations by the middle of the 21st century. A comprehensive guide to China's rise as the new center of gravity in global geopolitics, the book will be indispensable for students of political studies, geopolitics, international relations, and foreign policy. It will also be useful for policy makers, strategic investors, think tanks, and government officials.
