By systematically analyzing the series of policy papers launched by successive governments, it becomes clear that the multicultural policy has completed a discursive turn, deviating from its progressive trajectory of cultural diversity and substantive equality to suit the neo-conservative agenda of national unity and economic productivity. While the strengthened national identity based on the civic model corresponds with the surging tide of social conservatism, the shrinking government funding in this policy area and the utilitarian perception of cultural diversity are tied up with market-oriented reforms, indicating the government's shifting interests from minimizing the existing cultural barriers to maximizing cultural dividends through diversity management strategies.","PeriodicalId":234725,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Politics and Strategy","volume":"235 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140723223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As it involves more than 140 nations, China's 2013 \"Belt and Road Initiative\" (BRI) has garnered attention and debate. This paper examines BRI's economic effects and motives using developing evidence and a literature review. We concluded that China proposed the BRI in 2013 for several reasons, including capital accumulation, infrastructure export, market access, imbalanced growth resolution, energy supply assurance, and border stability. China's activities may also be explained by modern ideas like the economics of scale, technical gap, overlapped demand, and product life cycle. The BRI was simpler to propose in 2013 since the global economy was weak and needed a boost for global trade. Several models are used to predict BRI's economic effects. Due of BRI's lack of grounding. In the real world, foreign voices are both supportive and apprehensive, indicating that the BRI will confront many challenges. Debt and COVID-19 are two major challenges. Yet, possibilities and obstacles frequently go together. In the near future, international collaboration on advanced technologies, green economies, education, and other areas is expected to increase.","PeriodicalId":234725,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Politics and Strategy","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130440944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
