International Student Support and Engagement in Higher Education Exploring Innovative Practices in Campus Academic and Professional Support

International Student Support and Engagement in Higher Education Exploring Innovative Practices in Campus Academic and Professional Support

International Student Support and Engagement in Higher Education examines innovative practices in campus academic and professional support services which serve the various and unique needs of international students seeking undergraduate and graduate degrees.

The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

This book argues that China’s Belt and Road Initiative should be seen more as a geopolitical project and less as a global economic project with China aiming to bring about a new Chinese-led international order. It contends that China’s international approach has two personas – an aggressive one focusing on a nineteenth century-style territorial empire which is applied to Taiwan and the seas adjacent to China; and a new-style persona based on relationship building with the political elites of countries in the Global South relying on large scale infrastructure projects to help secure the elites in power a process often leading to lower democratic participation and weaker governance structures. It also shows how this relationship building with elites leads to an acceptance of Chinese norms and to changes in states’ geopolitical preferences and foreign policies to align them with China’s geopolitical interests with states thereby joining China’s emerging international order. Overall the book emphasizes that this new-style non-territorial “empire” building based on relationships is a major new development in international relations not fully recognized and accounted for by international relations experts and theorists. | The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

The Belt and Road Initiative A Pathway towards Inclusive Globalization

The Belt and Road Initiative A Pathway towards Inclusive Globalization

The Belt and Road Initiative (hereafter BRI) of China has attracted worldwide attention and participation causing a lot of debate over its implications for international society. Although it is still in a budding stage the BRI seems to afford a framework for an increasing number of countries to explore jointly new international economic governance mechanisms and offer significant opportunities for them to cope jointly with global challenges. Taking a globalization perspective and tracking the ancient silk roads this book tries to examine the general context in which the BRI is raised and implemented arguing that this Chinese initiative instead of replacing existing international cooperation mechanisms is a call for the reform and development of neoliberal globalization and will open up a new era of inclusive globalization. Inclusive globalization is neither an overturning nor a simple continuation of neoliberal globalization but rather a proposal capable of addressing the problems of existing globalization. The difference between them lies in the fact that globalization cannot only serve the spatial fix of capital but also has to meet the needs of living people. The book also addresses a number of major issues on building the Belt and Road and contains Chinese media’s interviews with the author on various BRI issues. Given the author has been intensively involved in the study of and planning for the BRI the book offers a valuable academic insight into this Chinese initiative. | The Belt and Road Initiative A Pathway towards Inclusive Globalization
