El. knyga: China's Belt And Road Initiative And Building The Community Of Common Destiny

In the past five years, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has attracted increasing attention from the world. China's concept of a Community of Common Destiny (CCD) is closely related to economic initiatives as the two main pillars of the CCD are the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The book states that CCD was a new paradigm for promoting regional socio-economic development, and for shaping international cooperation and international order from an entirely novel perspective. Though the countries and regions have varied socio-economic development difficulties and challenges, and their understanding of the concept of the CCD differs, the notion for common development and common security is widely shared and generally advocated by chapter contributors. The book chapters are the updated version of the selected papers presented at “Building the Community of Common Destiny between China and Its Neighbors: Challenges and the Future”, a conference jointly held by the National Institute of Global Strategy at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and University of International Relations (China). The book chapters were contributed by thirty experts from China's top think tanks and their counterparts from 20 neighboring countries.
