This comprehensive book delves into the intricate dynamics of Chinese overseas ports, conducting in-depth and systematic studies across Europe and Latin America. It sheds light on the progress, achievements, and profound effects of Chinese involvement in these ports, particularly in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. As business leaders, policymakers, and researchers grapple with the implications of Chinese infrastructure activities and overseas investment, understanding China's role in specific ports remains a crucial gap in knowledge. This book aims to bridge that gap by examining ports in diverse European countries such as Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, as well as various Latin American countries like Brazil and Jamaica.

Through a detailed analysis of these cases, the book unravels the factors that contribute to the success or failure of Chinese seaports, as well as the military, economic, and other consequences they yield. It explores why these consequences produce or fail to generate other effects, such as political influence. By examining ports in both European and Latin American contexts, the book provides a holistic understanding of China's engagement in overseas ports and its broader implications for global trade, investment, and geopolitics.

This book is of immense interest to audiences with a keen interest in Chinese overseas seaports, foreign direct investment (FDI), and infrastructure, as well as foreign direct investment, geopolitics, and the political economy of national security. It offers valuable insights and perspectives that will enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between China, the global economy, and international relations.
