ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC IMPACTS OF THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE ON CENTRAL EASTERN EUROPE, CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ASIA: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

A major outcome of this conference will be assessments whether China pursues a similar or a different strategy for the three regions to implement the BRI. Special emphasis will be given to the question whether China supports the existing regional orders or aims to change them to its own advantage. Apart from comparing the impacts of BRI on the three regions, another aim of the conference is to examine the official position of the regional organizations, the national governments as well as the population in Central Eastern Europe, Central and Southeast Asia on the BRI. It will be discussed whether the perceptions changed in the last year. Evidence from Southeast Asia and Europe suggest that both certain governments as well as the citizens became more sceptical about the impacts of the New Silk Roads. The European Parliament and the Commission are seemingly also more critical about Chinese influence on its member states. Yet, they also highlight positive effects of infrastructure cooperation, notably in the railway sector. Based on the assessment of Chinese investments and loans, the objective is to examine the economic and social impacts of the BRI and to identify areas in which cooperation is likely to offer mutual benefits. In the evening of the second conference day, experts will publicly discuss the main findings of the three regional panels from an academic and political point of view. The discussants will compare and contrast China´s BRI approach in Europe and Asia. With this public discussion, the new Central European Institute of Asian Studies (CEIAS), a regional Think Tank at Palacký University, will be formally launched.
