{"product_id":"9780674307391","title":"Traversing the Belt and Road : The World According to China and China According to the World","description":"\u003cp\u003eIs China's signature global strategy a boon to world development or a channel for control? Traversing the Belt and Road brings together leading voices from China and across the globe to examine the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) a decade after its launch. Spanning Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Africa, these essays highlight the diverse patterns and evolving dynamics across both the land-based and maritime Silk Roads. The volume's findings-that while the BRI has facilitated development convergence in many regions, it has also intensified geopolitical competition and posed new governance challenges-are both encouraging and sobering.   Engaging with key debates in world development and great-power rivalry, this book unpacks the BRI's adaptive nature and highlights its shift toward green and digital globalization. The wide range of methods employed-including comparative case studies, historical inquiry, statistical modeling, and field-based research-show how local agency, institutional variation, and global dynamics have shaped outcomes on the ground. An indispensable resource for scholars, students, and policy analysts, Traversing the Belt and Road offers a timely and empirically grounded perspective on China's global ambitions-and the roadblocks in its path.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55731932135800,"sku":"9780674307391","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780674307391","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
