Officially announced by Xi Jinping in 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has since become the centrepiece of China’s economic diplomacy. It is a commitment to ease bottlenecks to Eurasian trade by improving and building networks of connectivity across Central and Western Asia, where the BRI aims to act as a bond for the projects of regional cooperation and integration already in progress in Southern Asia.

But it also reaches out to the Middle East as well as East and North Africa, a truly strategic area where the Belt joins the Road. Europe, the end-point of the New Silk Roads, both by land and by sea, is the ultimate geographic destination and political partner in the BRI.

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the BRI, its logic, rationale and implications for international economic and political relations.

ISPI
Nato ottant’anni fa, l’ISPI è un think tank indipendente dedicato allo studio delle dinamiche internazionali, con l’obiettivo di favorire la consapevolezza del ruolo dell’Italia in un contesto globale in continua evoluzione. È l’unico istituto italiano – e fra i pochissimi in Europa – ad affiancare all’attività di ricerca un altrettanto significativo impegno nella formazione, nella convegnistica e nelle attività specifiche di analisi e orientamento sugli scenari internazionali per imprese ed enti. Tutta l’attività è caratterizzata da un approccio interdisciplinare – assicurato dalla stretta collaborazione tra specialisti in studi economici, politici, giuridici, storici e strategici, provenienti anche da ambiti non accademici – e dalla partnership con analoghe istituzioni di tutto il mondo.

The Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI) is an independent think tank dedicated to being a resource for government officials, business executives, journalists, civil servants, students and the public at large wishing to better understand international issues. It monitors geopolitical areas as well as major trends in international affairs.
Founded in Milan in 1934, ISPI is the only Italian Institute – and one of the few in Europe – to place research activities side by side to training, organization of international conferences, and the analysis of the international environment for businesses. Comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis is achieved through close collaboration with experts (academics and non-academics alike) in political, economic, legal, historical and strategic studies and through an ever-growing network of think tanks, research centers and Universities in Europe and beyond.
