How does the 'belt and road initiative' change urbanisation patterns in southeast asia?/ Adele Esposito Andujar, Gabriel Fauveaud, Marie Gibert-Flute [et. al.] - 2024

This paper examines how Chinese transnational investments, as (re)framed in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), contribute to changes in urbanisation processes in Southeast Asia. A regional approach allows us to identify connections and shared processes across Southeast Asian countries. The paper paves the way for a research agenda that contests the image of China as a monolithic actor implementing the BRI uniformly and consistently. Further analyses are needed to examine systems and networks of actors as well as the local urban politics that affect the BRI on the ground.
