A "New Silk Road" Between China and the Arab World: A Problem for the US or the EU?

    Research output: Contribution to book/anthology/report/conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    The chapter reconstructs the development of new links between China and the Arab World. The links have been created from "above" and from "below", by private initiatives. This process has been facilitated by a turn to more open economic systems on both sides. The relations are closest between China and the oil-exporting Gulf States. The main motive on the Chinese side has been the support of China's own economic development. The developments imply no threat against Western interests, on the contrary, Western countries have profited from it.
