Ancient Silk Road

The paper analyses how the Chinese project of establishing the Economic Belt of the New Silk Road challenges newly formed Eurasian Economic Union, with Russia as the leading force, as well as the North-American and Pacific trade network, dominated by the U.S. The author discusses how the overlapping responsibilities and influence of these regional economic groups may affect their complementarities and competitiveness on the world market, and how they may impact the future course of international relations. The Economic Belt is aimed at creating and strengthening economic, transport, human and cultural relations between China and Central Asian countries, but without Russia. The New Silk Road would stretch from the Pacific to the Baltic Sea, encompassing land and sea trading routes, and follows the route of the ancient Silk Road. When the New Silk Road project, linking three continents, is completed, it will bring new chance for development for China as well as for all other countries on the New Silk Road, including those in the Southeastern Europe. The author concludes that the Economic Belt of the New Silk Road might relax conflicts and quarrels between Western and Far East countries in regard to their aspirations to dominate in Euroasia.

The Silk Road

The Silk Road as an image is a relatively new one for Afghanistan. It appeals to both the pre-Islamic and the perceived Islamic past, thus offering an Islamic balance to previous identities linked to Bamiyan or to the Kushans. It also appeals to a broader and more international image, one that has been taken up by many other countries. This paper traces the rise of the image of the Silk Road and its use as a metaphor for ancient trade to encompass all contacts throughout Eurasia, prehistoric, ancient and modern, but also how the image has been adopted and expanded into many other areas: politics, tourism and academia. It is argued here that the origin and popularity of the term lies in late 20th century (and increasingly 21st century) politics rather than any reality of ancient trade. Its consequent validity as a metaphor in academic discussion is questioned

The Silk Road

The accelerated economic development of China in recent decades has allowed it to accumulate the potential to multiply its influence in Eurasia and initiate a number of ambitious political and economic projects designed for the long term. The most important of these are the concepts of the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) and the 21st Century Marine Silk Road (UWB), put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping in autumn 2013 and subsequently combined under the title "One Belt — one way" as the strategy of China’s foreign economic policy, at least until 2022. Another factor behind the emergence of the SREB concept is the change in China’s foreign economic paradigm and its transition from a country attracting foreign direct investment to a donor country. Therefore, industrial cooperation is an important part of the SREB. In the negotiations of the EAEU countries with China on the integration of the EAEU and the SREB, it is necessary to take into account the interests of the industrial development of the EAEU countries, as well as the possible economic, political, operational and environmental risks that the process of interfacing with the SREB entails. It is necessary that the industrial cooperation of the EAEU countries and China be based on the principles of equality and mutual benefit.
