Professor Zheng Yuntian reviews Routledge Handbook of China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Eurasia

Dr. Mher D. Sahakyan and Dr. Kevin Lo united scholars from different parts of the world to present all voices from East, West, North, and South. The au‑thors analysed the Belt and Road Initiative’s corridors, providing recommenda‑tions on the further development of the initiative. The authors have introduced case studies on Central Asia, the Middle East, the South Caucasus, Europe, and other regions to bring facts in detail. Authors’ interviews with practitioners and scholars from different Eurasian states also bring credibility to this work.

According to this research, the Belt and Road Initiative in a Eurasian con‑tinent under a Multipolar World Order 2.0 is an essential building block, and it will be more crucial to global geopolitics, peace, and development. As this study suggests, China and Eurasian countries can utilise opportunities and re‑solve the challenges within and beyond the BRI. In my opinion, the features of this handbook are consistent with the substances of the conjunction of global initiatives, which brings additional opportunities for further research.

There is no doubt that in a Multipolar World Order 2.0, the Routledge Handbook of China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Eurasia, which represents the collaboration among and beyond Eurasian academic boundaries or nationali‑ties, will provide scholarly welfare and inspiration for global readers, bringing new ideas and research.
