THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE
Implications for the International Order
by Moritz Rudolf (German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), Germany) This book showcases how the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has been utilizing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to reshape the global order.

The book outlines five aspects of China’s international role projection, which the PRC applies selectively, depending on its target audience: (1) The bearer of traditional Chinese culture; (2) The humiliated nation; (3) The socialist state with Chinese characteristics; (4) The developing state and promoter of international development; (5) The authoritarian globalization optimist.
