Legal Challenges of China's One Belt One Road Initiative

This book covers new legal developments of the One Belt One Road (OBOR) project and assesses how litigation may be organised to enforce and compensate for defaults in its related initiatives.

This book is structured into five themes, consisting of essays which assess the decade of BRI's existence in the context of international economic engagement and the rule of law, private international law, dispute resolution mechanisms - including mediation - and judgement mobility. The chapters in the book strike new ground and cover recent developments such as the establishment of China’s International Commercial Court, engagements in multiple Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) construction and investment projects.

The book will be of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers and students interested in private international law issues pertaining to the OBOR routes as well as private international law in general, Asian studies and the politics of international trade.
