A team of 12 researchers, brought together by the LeidenAsiaCentre, has taken a global perspective in assessing how the most influential investment initiative in recent memory, China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has developed since its start in 2013. This globe-spanning strategy has reshaped local economies and regional networks, and has become a contested subject for scholars and practitioners alike. How should we make sense of the complex interactions that the BRI has enabled? Understanding these processes requires truly global perspectives alongside careful attention to the role that local actors play in giving shape to individual BRI projects. This assessment has resulted in the edited volume “Global Perspectives on China’s Belt and Road Initiative“, which will be published open access on the say day by Amsterdam University Press (AUP).

GLOBTAXGOV has contributed with one chapter (written together with Michael Sampson and Jue Wang Leiden University). The title of the chapter is: Trade, Tax and Development Finance: Understanding China’s Choice of BRI Agreements and Institutions in in Global Perspectives on the Belt and Road Initiative
