This book, starting from multiple disciplines and perspectives, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis, examines the cooperation between China and Eurasian countries under the framework of the "Belt and Road Initiative". It covers five topics, namely, policy communication, facilities connection, trade flow, capital circulation and people-to-people interactions. Despite different perspectives and methods, the contributing authors are agreed that the construction of the "Belt and Road" can facilitate the development of all participating countries, even though they will likely also face problems and risks. The volume provides a balanced analysis of both opportunities and challenges for all stakeholders in this historic undertaking.
