Book Talk: Building the Belt and Road Initiative in the Arab World: China’s Middle East Math

In his latest book, Building the Belt and Road Initiative in the Arab World: China’s Middle East Math, Jonathan Fulton analyzes the expansion of Chinese power and influence in the Middle East and North Africa through Belt and Road Initiative projects undertaken in fields such as infrastructure, trade and investment, space satellites, and energy, including nuclear and renewable. Fulton argues that, taken together, these projects indicate the trajectory of China’s MENA presence, and an examination of each project across the region shows which states or subregions are most important for Beijing’s regional ambitions.
