Abstract
Afhandlingen placerer Kinas Bælte- og Vej-initiativ (BRI) i den aktuelle debat om globalisering og den tiltagende anti-globalisering. Den introducerer begrebet inklusiv globalisering som et mål om bredere deltagelse og mere retfærdig fordeling af gevinster og formulerer den centrale problemstilling: Hvordan kan BRI bidrage til inklusiv globalisering under en anti-globaliseringstrend? Metodisk er studiet primært konceptuelt med fokus på økonomisk globalisering. Det gennemgår forskellige forståelser, faser og kendetegn ved globalisering, analyserer anti-globaliseringens fremvækst og årsager, og anvender verdenssystemteori samt neoliberalisme/interdependensliberalisme til at fortolke BRI’s inklusive sigte, samarbejdsformer og regionale sammenkobling i Eurasien. Afhandlingen behandler også rapporterede resultater og internationale reaktioner, herunder kritik af initiativet, og drøfter ustabilitetsfaktorer langs BRI-områderne samt udfordringer fra protektionisme. Datagrundlaget består af taler, rapporter og akademisk litteratur. Den udleverede tekst præsenterer ikke endelige empiriske fund, men skitserer en analytisk ramme for at vurdere, hvordan BRI kan fremme mere åben, gensidigt fordelagtig integration, samtidig med at risici for ulighed, geopolitik og handelsbarrierer adresseres.
This thesis situates China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) within the contemporary debate on globalization and the rise of anti-globalization. It introduces inclusive globalization as a goal of broader participation and fairer distribution of benefits, and poses the central question: How will the BRI contribute to inclusive globalization under an anti-globalization trend? Methodologically, the study is primarily conceptual with a focus on economic globalization. It reviews differing understandings, stages, and characteristics of globalization; analyzes the emergence and causes of anti-globalization; and applies world-systems theory and neoliberal/interdependence liberalism to interpret the BRI’s inclusive intent, cooperation mechanisms, and Eurasian connectivity. The thesis also examines reported achievements and international reactions, including criticisms, and discusses instability factors along BRI regions and challenges posed by protectionism. The evidence base draws on speeches, reports, and academic literature. The provided excerpt does not present final empirical findings; instead, it outlines an analytical framework to assess how the BRI may foster more open, mutually beneficial integration while confronting risks linked to inequality, geopolitics, and trade barriers.
