Description:

China’s Belt and Road Initiative is being likened to the “21st Century Maritime Silk Route” which will encompass Southeast Asia. The construction of infrastructure will impact transportation, trade, foreign policy, national politics, and international legal frameworks. Will the BRI be equitable for the 11 SEA countries that are impacted or will it establish new colonial relationships?

Join Miriam Stark, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, in conversation with four researchers and professionals — Jeff Fox, Senior Fellow, East-West Center, Kevin Woods, Research Fellow, East-West Center, Shuxian Luo, Assistant Professor of Asian Studies at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, Samphoas Im, Lee Kong Chian NUS-Stanford Fellow — as they will discuss the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative on transportation, trade, foreign policy, national politics, and international legal frameworks.
