China and the USA in Central Asia: Competing Actors with Different Goals?
This edited volume presents a trans-disciplinary and multifaceted assessment of the strategic and economic impacts of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on three regions, namely Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central Eastern Europe.
IIR researcher Dr. Alica Kizeková wrote chapter nine in the book China's Belt and Road Initiative published by Routledge and edited by Alfred Gerstl and Ute Wallenböck, titled "China and the USA in Central Asia: Competing Actors with Different Goals?" The contributions to this book demonstrate the requirement of a more realistic view concerning the anticipated economic benefits of the New Silk Road. The contributors critique the strategic effects of China’s opaque long-term grand strategy on the regional and global political order. Specific countries that are covered are Finland, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Poland, and Thailand. Additionally, case studies from South Asia and Africa, notably India and Ethiopia, enable insightful comparisons.
Encouraging readers to critically challenge mainstream interpretations of the aims and impacts of the BRI, this book should interest academics and students from various disciplines including Political Science, International Relations, Political Geography, Sociology, Economics, International Development, and Chinese Studies.
The publisher is currently offering the book for a 20% discounted price.
Dr. Alica Kizeková is a researcher at the IIR and her areas of interest include but are not limited to Czech foreign policy, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Chinese and Russian foreign policy, and superpower relations and security in Central Asia, Asia and the Pacific.
