Introduction

This book focuses on exploring the profound interplay between China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the international rules system. As the most ambitious and far-reaching infrastructure and development initiative of the twenty-first century, the BRI holds immense significance for global governance, legal frameworks, and international collaboration. Through an in-depth examination of its influence across economic, trade, civil, commercial, and public law, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of how the BRI reshapes and evolves existing legal systems and frameworks.

Interaction with International Rules

The book begins by analyzing the dual interaction between the BRI and the existing international rules system, highlighting the Initiative’s alignment with and divergence from prevailing global norms. It situates the BRI within the broader theoretical framework of fostering a community with a shared future for humankind, offering insights into its strategic objectives and philosophical underpinnings. By doing so, it lays the groundwork for understanding the BRI’s transformative potential in international relations.

Economic and Trade Rules

Subsequent chapters delve into the BRI’s contributions to the development of international economic and trade rules. The text explores critical focus areas and challenges within international economic law, including the legal complexities arising from cross-border investments, trade agreements, and regional development strategies. The book examines how the BRI drives the evolution of these frameworks, addressing issues such as equitable development, legal harmonization, and institutional innovation.

Civil and Commercial Rules

In the realm of civil and commercial rules, the book highlights the BRI’s impact on private international law, discussing its role in shaping dispute resolution frameworks, contract law, and legal cooperation. It also investigates the challenges and opportunities that arise as participating nations navigate differences in legal traditions and governance models. The text presents a detailed analysis of the BRI’s contribution to enhancing international legal predictability and fostering mutual trust among its stakeholders.
