Ye Discusses the Future of China’s BRI
Min Ye, Associate Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published an article in the January 2021 issue of Asia Policy – a publication of the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) – on the effect of COVID-19 on China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
In the article, titled “Atrophying or Adapting: China’s Belt and Road after the Covid-19 Pandemic,” Ye explores China’s policy discourse and activities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s prioritization of BRI, as well as its globalization strategy for the future. Ye outlines the policy implications of China’s continued commitment to BRI, which she argues will expand at home and abroad as the country continues to recover from the pandemic.
The full article can be read on NBR’s website.
