- Summary:
- "This highly informative book examines the form and process of infrastructure integration across the Asian continent. Colin Turner analyses key sub-regions to demonstrate how connectivity has been historically limited, as well as crucial opportunities for improvement. Chapters investigate examples of formal regional integration agreements across Eurasia, including East and South Asia and Gulf-Co-operation Council states. Turner identifies how fractious relations and an erratic political economy has resulted in the stagnation of progress towards economic integration. Focusing on both hard and soft infrastructure systems, he evaluates influential case studies such as China's Belt and Road Initiative and pan-Asian connectivity initiatives to illustrate possibilities for successful infrastructural integration in Asia. The Asian Infrastructure System is an essential resource for students and scholars of Asian studies, infrastructure, international political economy and urban and regional studies. It is also beneficial to practitioners of infrastructure planning and policy makers seeking to promote connection"-- Provided by publisher.
