This paper examines the connection between the BRI and network theory, a relatively underexplored area in the existing body of research. The BRI, covering five continents and over 100 countries, focuses mainly on South Asia, Central Asia, and Europe, including Russia, due to their central role in the initiative. The core of this paper lies in analyzing the network effects and lock-in dynamics associated with the BRI, especially in the context of developing countries. Part II delves into the positive arguments for BRIs network effects and lock-in dynamics, drawing on Bryan Druzins theories and adding the concepts of resilience and cultural connectivity. Conversely, challenges to these network effects and dynamics are scrutinized, including sustainability issues, institutional flaws, fragmentism with Chinese characteristics, neo-colonial critiques, and cultural and ideological disparities. A case study focusing on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in Part III sheds light on both the strengths and weaknesses of the BRIs approach. In conclusion, the paper posits that while the BRI is successfully building both material and conceptual foundations for its network, the significance of its network effects and lock-in dynamics is moderated by numerous challenges.","PeriodicalId":484439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Policy Studies","volume":"114 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139605628","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}

Shanxi Province is renowned for being a resource-based coal city in China and is currently in a critical period of developing new urbanization. Investigating whether the development of the digital economy in Shanxi Province positively influences new urbanization is of great importance for regional development. This study utilizes panel data from 11 prefecture-level cities in Shanxi Province from 2004 to 2017 and constructs a comprehensive indicator system for new urbanization, including economic urbanization, social urbanization, spatial urbanization, and population urbanization. The study calculates the comprehensive index of new urbanization in Shanxi Province and the level of the digital economy in Shanxi Province using the entropy weight method. Based on these indicators, a fixed-effects panel data regression model is established to quantitatively examine the impact of the digital economy's development level on the construction of new urbanization in Shanxi Province. The study reveals that (1) the regional development level of the digital economy in Shanxi Province has a significant positive promotion effect on new urbanization. (2) Regional government intervention in Shanxi Province plays a strong positive guiding role in the development of new urbanization. (3) The enhancement of the comprehensive economic strength of Shanxi Province significantly affects new urbanization construction, but the effect is not substantial.","PeriodicalId":484439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Policy Studies","volume":"10 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135168833","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}

However, in these years of rapid development, China has also begun to overcapacity, slowing down its economic development. In order to improve China's domestic overcapacity situation, as well as to better carry out the development of economic integration, China's President Xi Jinping put forward the BRI. This paper focuses on how the BRI reflects China's rise and its impact on the global political and economic arena, and analyzes its implications for China's development trends and international relations. From cultural, economic, and political perspectives, and by examining the quantitative analysis of the impact of the BRI on trade, this paper explores the empirical case study of the China-Central Asia Gas Pipeline (CCAGP) and finds that the BRI has boosted the trade turnover of the countries along the route, and has contributed to the development of China's internal development and international cooperation. international cooperation. The case study of the China-Central Asia Gas Pipeline (CCAGP) reveals more concretely that China has utilized infrastructure development to broaden new strategic routes in order to safeguard China's energy interests and security, and to promote cooperation with the Central Asian region. The \"BRI\" has enabled China to contribute to the formation of a new economic order centered on China in the form of trade cooperation, which helps to enhance international discourse. Through the BRI, China's international influence has been increasing and its role in the international arena is growing.","PeriodicalId":484439,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Policy Studies","volume":"AES-11 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135168836","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}
