The Belt And Road

This paper explores dynamic processes of (re)negotiation of boundaries of and in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. It identifies ambiguous temporal and spatial boundaries which create space for ongoing political and ideological contestation over the shape of the Belt and Road Initiative. The paper suggests that lack of clear geographical scope leaves open multiple futures for China’s global relations under the initiative. Chinese imaginaries hint at a world of transnational networks of political economy but one still structured by nation states and inter-governmental regional institutions at a time when the intertwining of the political and the economic is a feature of shifting configurations of global political economy.

After the belt and road initiative was put forward, the relevant domestic regions responded positively and carried out research work in succession, making suggestions for the implementation and planning of the belt and road initiative. However, the relevant research work mainly focuses on the political, economic, and cultural problems existing in the implementation of the belt and road initiative. The research on intellectual property protection issues has rarely been reported. By analyzing the intellectual property environment both of domestic and international in which the belt and road initiative located, this chapter focuses on the intellectual property protection strategy in the implementation of the belt and road initiative, aiming at providing reference for intellectual property research under the belt and road initiative.

The purpose of this article is to examine the prospect of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from the perspective of Bangladesh. The article investigates fundamental aspects of China’s economic involvement in Bangladesh to understand the geo-economic basis of the initiative. In this respect, the objective and motivation behind Chinese involvement in Bangladesh’s economy are studied, and the political and economic challenges emanating from the participation of the latter country in the initiative are outlined. Methodologically, this research adopts a qualitative approach and relies on primary sources to collect data. It concludes with an observation that Chinese investments through BRI could, in the long term, be advantageous for Bangladesh’s economy as long as the regional and economic issues associated with the initiative are appropriately dealt with. Besides, it suggests that the success of the initiative in South Asia, as well as in Bangladesh, requires a collaborative effort from all the states of the region on functional issue areas such as trade and connectivity.
