The new Silk Road leads through the Arab peninsula: mastering global business and innovation

Building on the tradition, promises and advances brought by the historical Silk Road, the Belt and Road Initiative launched by Chinese authorities in 2013 has the potential to re-draw the map of checks and balances in the global economy.

This book offers an in-depth inquiry into the origins, implications, opportunities and synergies that China's Belt and Road Initiative creates for stakeholders in both Asia and the Arab World.

Acclaimed academics, practitioners and experts contribute to a fascinating overview of critical issues that emerge along the New Silk Road.

Chapters address issues such as dispute resolution, the geopolitics of international business, the enabling role of sophisticated technologies, approaches to innovation promotion and cross-cultural collaboration.
