Belt & Road: Building “Road” for Globalization
-Globalization necessitates both hard infrastructure, such as railways, highways, ports and airports; and soft infrastructure, such as policy coordination, trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and free movement of capital and people. The post-World War II 70 years have seen globalization galloping, but the infrastructure underpinning the process has been aging and crumbling, with more users and less repairers. The new era of globalization calls for better infrastructure.
-The Belt and Road initiative proposed by China and jointly advanced by en-route countries is a public good, which is designed to promote policy, infrastructure, trade, finance and people-to-people connectivity, while upgrading global hard and soft infrastructure to facilitate globalization.
-How can we deliver better public goods like the Belt and Road initiative in the context of an anachronistic global governance system? What roles will inter-governmental cooperation and public-private partnership (PPP) programs play in this process? What success stories do we have?
