Panel presentation:
China has been promoting actively a new grand investment scheme for Central Asia, South East Asia, Eastern and South of Europe through the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. This initiative indicate a new turn in China's economic development strategy with several potential important economic and geopolitical implications at the international level. Among the different interesting questions raised by the OBOR or New Silk Road Initiative we find :
1 - The question of cooperation/competition between BRICS countries,
2 - How the newly created financial institution like the AIIB or NDB will work in terms of Governance ? Will they promote new rules when granting loans to developing countries?
3 - How China will assess political risk in such a vast array of countries potentially eligible for receiving OBOR investment?
4 - Are we witnessing a new Marshall Plan for Eurasia and what potential impact it can have on the recipients countries and the Geopolitical order?
5 - Where does EU stands in these initiatives? Will EU firms be able to take a slice of the total investment or will it be mainly a tool used by BRICS firms to enlarge their domination in these regions?
This panel will gather experts on China, India, Central Asia, South East Asia and Europe to discuss these questions.
