Reviews

'Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives, this timely collection reveals how Belt and Road Initiative projects transform ecologies, territories, and power relations—essential reading for scholars and practitioners of infrastructure, development, human geography and political ecology.' Seth Schindler, University of Manchester 'Traversing infrastructural forms, this book offers a distinctly global, yet grounded, analysis of the material and contested transformations of the Belt and Road Initiative as it produces uneven geographies and restructures economies and geopolitics from the ground up.' Sophie Webber, The University of Sydney 'This is an intensely geographical book, in all of the best ways. Grounded in specific places, it examines the many different ways in which the multiscalar project of the Belt and Road Initiative touches down, and is shaped and reshaped in practice. It is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the realities of the Belt and Road Initiative.' Emma Mawdsley, University of Cambridge
