Opis

This book discusses how can middle powers like South Korea and Germany benefit from closer economic and political linkages across the Eurasian landmass, in particular the Belt and Road Initiative dominated by China. Should they rather jump on the bandwagon or should they follow distinct own initiatives, either in their region or inter-regionally?
