Abstract

Since the Belt and Road Initiative is introduced, there has been an ongoing controversy on how to define its politicaleconomic character. This paper suggests that the BRI should be considered as a proactive strategy of China in response to the changing dynamics in the global system, in accordance with China's particular domestic and international concerns. Utilizing the discussions on globalization and regionalization, it reviews different approaches on the BRI and narrates the relevant arguments in a wider perspective. It is claimed that the BRI is a breakthrough attempt of China to breach the changing trend from globalization towards regionalization in the world economy started after the 2008 Financial Crisis.

Özet

İlan edildiğinden bu yana Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi'nin siyasal-iktisat karakterinin nasıl tanımlanacağına dair bir tartışma süregelmekte. Bu makale Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi'nin küresel düzendeki değişen dinamiklere karşılık Çin'in kendi ulusal ve uluslararsı öncelikleri doğrultusunda geliştirdiği proaktif bir strateji olarak değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini önerir. Literatürdeki mevcut argümanları özetleyerek tarihsel bir perspektifin içine yerleştirir. Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi'nin Çin'in 2008 Finansal Krizi sonrası dünya ekonomisindeki küreselleşmeden bölgeselleşmeye doğru değişen trendi aşma projesi olduğunu savunur.
