One Belt One Road

Discover the intricate dynamics of global infrastructure with One Belt One Road by Eyck Freymann, published by Harvard University Press in 2020. This compelling 360-page paperback challenges the conventional view of the largest infrastructure development program in history. Freymann argues that rather than being a centralized and systematic initiative, the campaign serves a dual purpose: to bolster the cult of personality surrounding Chinese President Xi Jinping and to export a traditional model of patronage and tribute. Dive into this thought-provoking analysis that uncovers the underlying motivations and implications of this ambitious project. Perfect for those interested in commerce, international relations, and contemporary Chinese politics, One Belt One Road is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of global trade and influence.
