Abstract
<p>La Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta es el proyecto de desarrollo de infraestructuras más ambicioso en la historia reciente. Supone un importante factor en la ecuación del ascenso de China. Sin embargo, pese a que tiene un principio geoeconómico, el proyecto conlleva profundas implicaciones globales. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar tres preguntas básicas: 1) ¿Qué es? 2) ¿Cómo está financiado? 3) ¿Por qué se lanzó? Al responder a estas preguntas, sostengo que la Nueva Ruta de la Seda puede representar un medio para que China influya en el orden económico internacional establecido.</p>
Highlights
The international economic order established by the United States after World War II relies on different international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, or the World Trade Organization
The second section concerns financing: 2) How is the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) financed and how does the project fit into the existing gap in infrastructure investment in Asia? The last part refers to the motivations behind the BRI: 3) Why did the Chinese Government launch the BRI?
With the end of the Cold War, the international system shifted from a bipolar world with two major blocks to a unipolar world dominated by the West
Summary
The international economic order established by the United States (as well as Europe and Japan to a lesser extent) after World War II relies on different international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, or the World Trade Organization. The Belt and Road Initiative is much more than just a mere trade policy. In this regard, the goal of the paper is to respond to three key questions. An extensive review of academic research, political official discourses, Chinese Government White Papers, specialized press, and reports from international organisations and foundations, has been conducted. This analysis of pre-existing literature allows the researcher to construct qualitative arguments, illustrated in some cases by a quantitative analysis of existing data provided by international organizations, private companies, and other international entities
