Abstract

ABSTRACT A strategic/geoeconomic/geopolitical as opposed to a short-term contextual approach to the Italy–China Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) agreement identifies significant opportunities for cooperation alongside important challenges: opportunities derive from emerging interests in port interconnectivity, investment and industrial development, the digital economy, and third-party markets, while challenges are associated with uncertain economic recovery, increasing geopolitical rivalry, volatile Italian politics, and contrasting Chinese and Italian and European Union norms. Frequent short-term policy turns result, while Italy–China cooperation may presage a reorientation of the BRI in the direction of multilateral negotiation, soft cooperation and development of city-to-city networks. If not, the outcome may be a less interconnected and vibrant BRI and a more confrontational game between the European Union and China.

中意“一带一路”合作:走向新的合作模式?
意大利-中国“一带一路”倡议(BRI)协议的战略/地缘经济/地缘政治,而不是短期背景方法,确定了重要的合作机遇和重要的挑战:机遇来自港口互联互通、投资和工业发展、数字经济和第三方市场等领域的新兴利益,而挑战则与经济复苏的不确定性、地缘政治竞争的加剧、意大利政治的动荡以及中国、意大利和欧盟规范的差异有关。短期政策转向频繁,意中合作可能预示着“一带一路”将向多边谈判、软合作和城市网络发展方向重新定位。否则,结果可能是“一带一路”的相互联系和活力减弱,欧盟和中国之间的对抗性游戏加剧。
