Abstract

The contribution addresses the question how the Belt and Road Initiative has been representented in the field of political economy.

The article will then show how these two challenges emerged in the Western discourse and were related to the Chinese economic growth, but also how and how quickly they were taken up by the Chinese leadership, which presented the BRI as an answer to both traps.
