The new textbook China - China - Geographien einer Weltmacht, presented by Sina Hardaker and Peter Dannenberg at this year's Leipziger Buchmesse, includes a detailed chapter entitled "The Belt and Road Initiative - The New Silk Road from China to Duisburg".

This chapter addresses the following questions, among others:

• What goals and developments are part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)?
• How is the BRI financed and implemented, and what other background factors need to be taken into account?
• How does the Silk Road manifest itself in concrete terms using Duisburg as an example?
• How can the development of the BRI to date be assessed?
