Creating Megatrends：The Belt and Road

China's Belt and Road Initiative is a project of unprecedented scale. However, knowledge about the political, economic, and cultural goals and opportunities are lagging behind. Creating Megatrends presents the narrative of the chances and risks in China's Belt and Road Initiative and discusses the opportunities, challenges, and risks that this grand and experimental project is facing. Belt and Road Initiative is creating the infrastructure and connectivity needed to link communities and create and leverage economic opportunities for state and private investment, entrepreneurs, and workers. At the same time, the Initiative calls for protection of environment and heritage as part of a cultural exchange. These high set goals cannot be reached without creating a new and solid foundation aside from the old Bretton Woods System. The book highlights the creation of a new model of global governance, a new financial architecture, institutions, and multilateral development banks. More than 60 percent of the world's population in more than a hundred nations are involved in Belt and Road Initiative.
