HKUST IEMS Thought Leadership Brief No. 68

Since 2013, China’s ‘‘Belt and Road Initiative’’ (BRI) has grown in number and become increasingly global in scope. Despite these trends, international business (IB) research on the BRI remains limited. To call upon IB scholars to adopt a policy turn in their study of the BRI, ‘‘with the purpose of advancing IB theory, contributing to important debates with scholars in allied social sciences, as well as helping to resolve these difficult challenges our generation is currently facing’’ (Buckley et al, 2017: 1046), we issued a call for papers at the Journal of International Business Policy to reflect on the nature and scope of the BRI and how it influences IB policy.
