Summary:

In Seeing China's Belt and Road, editors Edward Schatz and Rachel Silvey assemble the ground-level fieldwork of leading scholars to examine the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from different "downstream" contexts, ranging from Central and Southeast Asia to Europe and Africa. Crucially, this book uncovers views of the BRI from Chinese authorities, local businesses, state bureaucrats, expatriated migrants, ordinary citizens, and environmental activists. Through these case studies, the book offers a timely analysis of the dynamic complexity of changes in the world order.
