Belt and road initiative : law, economics, and politics / edited by Julien Chaisse, Jedrzej Gorski ; foreword by Zhang Yuejiao. - Leiden : Brill Nijhoff, 2018. - xxvi, 760 p. ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This 28-chapter volume brings together academics and practitioners to provide a comprehensive legal, economic and political analysis of the Belt and Road (BRI) initiative that has emerged since 2013 as a key feature of China's international economic policy. It offers a fundamentally novel approach towards international trade, investment and global governance in an unsettled time of shifting geopolitics when many institutions developed in the West are being called into question. The book covers a broad range of BRI-related international economic law and policy issues, including trade facilitation and connectivity, economics and geopolitics of new trade routes, foreign direct investment law, bilateral investment treaties, free trade agreements, financing of infrastructure, development aid, international dispute resolution, and regional economic integration.
