Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Paul, T. V. (2019). Why Balancing Towards China is not Effective : Understanding BRI’s Strategic Role. (RSIS Commentaries, No. 049). RSIS Commentaries. Singapore: Nanyang Technological University. | Series/Report no.: | RSIS Commentaries, 049-19 | Abstract: | The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has usually been analysed for its economic and geopolitical importance. There is a third crucial function of BRI − the prevention of military as well as soft balancing coalitions against Beijing by smaller Asian states along with countries such as the US and India. BRI thus is a major instrument in the hands of China in its wedge strategy in the Indo-Pacific. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/107050 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/47976 |
