The Belt and Road Initiative and Economic Development of Azerbaijan

ISBN:

978-988-72370-0-6

This monograph, written by researchers from The Ng Teng Fong · Sino Group Belt and Road Research Institute of the Hong Kong Chu Hai College and Azerbaijan State University of Economics, is the result of fruitful academic collaboration between these institutions.

It covers a wide range of economic relations between China and Azerbaijan in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. The book not only provides an analytical examination of the rapidly growing economic ties between the two countries but also presents substantial empirical data and case studies of Chinese companies’ cooperation projects in Azerbaijan. With the revival and expansion of the Middle Corridor of the new Silk Road, China and Azerbaijan have become important strategic partners for regional connectivity and development. The monograph is intended to provide a pioneer venture to lay the groundwork for further research into this important geo-political and geo-economic issue.

The preparation and publication of this monograph were made possible by a donation from Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation Limited provided to Hong Kong Chu Hai College.
