摘要
中国的“一带一路”倡议引起了广泛关注,并对其对欧亚大陆和印太地区的影响和影响感到担忧。两位经典地缘政治学家——Halford J. Mackinder和Alfred Thayer Mahan——提供了有用的框架来解释中国的“一带一路”地缘政治影响,以及通过经济工具和基础设施项目主导欧亚大陆和印度太平洋水道的地缘战略。本文认为,中国的“一带一路”倡议证明了经典地缘政治理论在国际政治大战略实践中的卓越解释力。
A “Mah-Kinder” geopolitical explanation of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
Abstract China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has garnered a lot of attention, and worries about its impact and influence over Eurasia and Indo-Pacific. Two classical geopoliticians – Halford J. Mackinder and Alfred Thayer Mahan – had provided useful frameworks to explain China’s BRI geopolitical implications, and geostrategies to dominate the Eurasian continent and Indo-Pacific waterways with economic tools and infrastructure projects. This article claims that China’s BRI is a testament of the exceptional explanatory power of classical geopolitical theories in the practice of grand strategy in international politics.
