This comprehensive volume examines China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as it approaches its tenth year of operation. Since its inception in 2013, the program has undergone a challenging transition, with an environment evolving in ways entirely unexpected by Chinese decision-makers. Despite pragmatic adjustments to the BRI, the lack of a solid empirical foundation has hindered its progress and led to its demise in many countries.
With the accumulation of nearly ten years of project and economic data, it is now possible to conduct a thorough assessment of the BRI. To achieve this, the study focuses on the infrastructure component of the BRI in 39 countries, spanning from the Americas to Oceania and finally South Asia. The findings reveal a strong correlation between a country's progress in improving governance and the quality of its infrastructure. Countries that have benefited from the BRI have simultaneously achieved advancements in governance areas such as the rule of law and corruption control. By neglecting to prioritize the establishment of robust governance structures, China condemns many of its partners to failure.
This study will be of valuable interest to researchers, students, and economic development specialists from Latin America to South Asia and Oceania. It offers a departure from the volumes of anecdotal assessments of the BRI, providing a more comprehensive and analytical perspective on its impact and outcomes.
