This book analyses the opportunities enabled for Armenia by China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in the framework of economic cooperation, policy diversification, social inclusion and regional cohesion.Structured in five parts, the chapters outline the economic, geopolitical and legal agenda for Armenia, in order to formulate policy diversification and risk mitigation principles for participation in BRI projects. Experiences from Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus are included in the discussion. Offering international and Armenian perspectives on the advantages and disadvantages of participation in the Belt and Road Initiative, the book also suggests an alternative for Armenia: A deepening of its cooperation with democracies in the EU, and India.A critically timed study, this book is an important addition to the literature of the South Caucasus region, the Indo-Pacific, and China studies. It will be of interest to policymakers and researchers in the field of international relations, security studies and area studies.

Korea as a “middle power” in the last decades saw a growing importance, partly through greater economic clout, partly through greater cultural and soft power (“K-pop”), and partly through collective action in institutions like G 20. However, recent instability in Northeast Asia, plus growing trade conflicts and political conflicts in the region and worldwide, endanger this position. Moreover, the tremendous rise of China in economic, geo-political and cultural terms overshadowed the Korean development. However, also here the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative seems to dominate the headlines, as well as the policy fora and practical business decisions. Therefore, this book discusses an urgent, indeed pressing topic: how can middle powers like South Korea and Germany benefit from closer economic and political linkages across the Eurasian landmass, in particular the Belt and Road Initiative dominated by China.? Should they rather jump on the bandwagon or should they follow distinct own initiatives, either in their region or inter-regionally?
