Samenvatting
" Rivers of Iron provides insights on a central issue of our time: building railways and other modes of transport. It goes beyond building connections. It is about stirring growth and sharing prosperity. The authors' vivid account of the construction of railways between individual Southeast Asian countries and China has indeed captured these and more."—Mahathir bin Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia
"This book deserves to become an instant classic. Its approach is to consider everything significantly connected to its subject, from the making of Chinese foreign policy to the desires and doubts of each of its prospective partners, all the while keeping the rails in focus. The authors provide a definitive study of a major component of China's Belt and Road Initiative and a credible picture of the ongoing transformation of the economic geography of East Asia."—Brantly Womack, Professor of Foreign Affairs, University of Virginia
"A highly compelling read. This book is thoroughly researched, well constructed, and well argued, but more importantly, it is a balanced and impartial account of China's railway expansion in Southeast Asia, providing much-needed fact-based evidence for current debates on China's global commercial diplomacy."—Agatha Kratz, Associate Director, Rhodium Group
What China’s infamous railway initiative can teach us about global dominance.
In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled what would come to be known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—a global development strategy involving infrastructure projects and associated financing throughout the world, including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. While the Chinese government has framed the plan as one promoting transnational connectivity, critics and security experts see it as part of a larger strategy to achieve global dominance. Rivers of Iron examines one aspect of President Xi Jinping’s “New Era”: China’s effort to create an intercountry railway system connecting China and its seven Southeast Asian neighbors (Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam). This book illuminates the political strengths and weaknesses of the plan, as well as the capacity of the impacted countries to resist, shape, and even take advantage of China’s wide-reaching actions. Using frameworks from the fields of international relations and comparative politics, the authors of Rivers of Iron seek to explain how domestic politics in these eight Asian nations shaped their varying external responses and behaviors. How does China wield power using infrastructure? Do smaller states have agency? How should we understand the role of infrastructure in broader development? Does industrial policy work? And crucially, how should competing global powers respond?
