Two factsheets on China’s Global Engagements

These two factsheets have been written by a team of 22 scholars brought together by three research initiatives: Environing Infrastructure (RCC), ROADWORK (University of Fribourg) and ChinaMade (University of Colorado Boulder).

The first factsheet traces the long history of Chinese economic engagement with its neighbours and beyond, and shows that there is no single “model” of Chinese development. The factsheet can be downloaded here: https://chinadevelopmentmodel.roadworkasia.com

The second factsheet discusses some of the assumptions that have emerged in the global discourse on the Belt and Road Initiative and provides research-based knowledge that should help us better understand what BRI is, and what it is not.
