    This study focuses on the most recent development of Chinese overseas investment and construction and of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2019-23, from a project-oriented perspective. As a source we use data of the China Global Investment Tracker (CGIT) of the American Enterprise Institute. Overall annual Chinese overseas commitments are found to have peaked in 2017 (at about USD 250 billion), then to have contracted sharply and to have stabilized from 2021 (at around USD 100 billion). A political blowback against Chinese investments in the West (from 2018), the COVID-19 pandemic (from 2020) and the Ukraine war (from 2022) appear to have affected Chinese project expenditure in Western countries more gravely than in Belt and Road partners. Energy, transportation and metals comprised more than two-thirds of commitments in 2019-23. The twelve largest recipients of Chinese investment and construction in these five years were: Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Australia, the UK, Brazil, the US, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Serbia and Malaysia. As of end-2023, almost one-fifth of total commitments (since 2005) had triggered losses and were thus classified as "troubled transactions." In order to adjust exposure against the backdrop of debt problems, average Chinese overseas projects have become smaller in recent years. Moreover, the share of private Chinese investments has increased to 46%, and greenfield outlays have grown to 53% of total overseas commitments, thus eclipsing acquisitions (in 2023). Apart from the Japanese "Partnership for Quality Infrastructure" program launched in 2015, other most recently (2021-2022) established Western rival infrastructure initiatives to the BRI may still require some time to get off the ground.

    In this paper, we study the role of Confucius Institute in supporting internationalization of Chinese enterprises. Employing a panel dataset containing 66 Belt-Road countries and 75 non Belt-Road countries from 2006 to 2017, we find that the Confucius Institute has had a positive effect on Chinese CMA in general and that this effect has become stronger in Belt-Road countries after the Belt and Road Initiative was launched in 2013. Our results suggest that the earlier the host country joins the Belt and Road Initiative, the stronger is the interactive effect of CI and Belt and Road Initiative. Moreover, we show that the Confucius Classroom, a related program, also positively affects Chinese CMA in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. These findings are robust to controlling for endogeneity and sample selection biases.

    The paper argues that East Asia is setting the pace for the recent trend in regional and inter-regional integration, which is associated with multilateral infrastructure connectivity initiatives, like the "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI) of the People's Republic of China and Japan's "Partnership for Quality Infrastructure" (PQI). After introducing key issues, the paper explains the logic behind the recently grown importance of such initiatives and analyzes concepts like the BRI and PQI against this background in more detail. While infrastructure connectivity initiatives promise to combine national political, economic, and multilateral public good aspirations beneficially, conflicts among them are also possible and even likely. The paper then deals with Europe's, and particularly the EU's, role in this dynamism. The EU was one of the early movers, with the establishment of the European Investment Bank for instance, but its mechanisms have so far not become pillars of a coherent and forceful political-economic strategy of the EU. The current European situation is rather one of reacting to a dynamic that other countries elsewhere have created. The paper introduces the 2018 Joint Communication "Connecting Europe and Asia: Building Blocks for an EU Strategy" in this context and finds it to be lacking in various ways. The paper ends with conclusions and policy recommendations on some of the options for developing a more forceful European strategy.

    Since China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was announced almost a decade ago, circumstances in global politics have changed radically. The trade war between the United States and China, and most recently the Covid-19 pandemic have caused a partial reshuffling of the international economic architecture. At the same time, China has become stronger and more self-confident, more innovative and more embedded in global value chains. Under the framework of the BRI it has become the world's largest official creditor in 2017. As of recently, an increasing number of countries have fallen into debt distress, some of which have received substantial investment from China. The question is then how the image of the BRI has evolved as these conditions have shifted. Drawing on global media reports, we conduct an analysis of the sentiment towards China's Belt and Road Initiative across geographies and of how this sentiment has evolved over time.

    Abstract: Die geopolitische Bedeutung von Strom wird unterschätzt, obwohl Stromnetze Räume konstituieren. Sie etablieren neue Einflusskanäle und Macht­sphären in politischen Gemeinwesen und über sie hinaus. Im Kontinentalraum Europa-Asien treffen Verbundnetze und Interkonnektoren, also grenzüberschreitende Übertragungsnetzverbindungen, aufeinander. Interkonnektoren markieren neue, teilweise konkurrierende Integrationsvektoren, die Verbundnetze transzendieren. Dabei ist die Zugehörigkeit zum europäischen Netzverbund attraktiv, denn synchrone Netze sind Schicksalsgemeinschaften, in denen Sicherheit und Wohlfahrt geteilt werden. Deutschland und die EU müssen eine Strom-Außenpolitik entwickeln, um das europäische Stromnetz zu optimieren und modernisieren, zu verstärken und zu erweitern. Vor allem aber sind Deutschland und die EU gefordert, Interkonnektivität über das eigene Verbundnetz hinaus mitzugestalten. Chinas Strategie, mit seiner Belt and Road Initiative Infrastrukturen auf das Reich der
