In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled what would come to be known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)--a global development strategy involving infrastructure projects and associated financing throughout the world, including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. While the Chinese government has framed the plan as one promoting transnational connectivity, critics and security experts see it as part of a larger strategy to achieve global dominance. Rivers of Iron examines one aspect of President Xi Jinping's "New Era" China's effort to create an intercountry railway system connecting China and its seven Southeast Asian neighbors (Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam). This book illuminates the political strengths and weaknesses of the plan, as well as the capacity of the impacted countries to resist, shape, and even take advantage of China's wide-reaching actions. Using frameworks from the fields of international relations and comparative politics, the authors of Rivers of Iron seek to explain how domestic politics in these eight Asian nations shaped their varying external responses and behaviors. How does China wield power using infrastructure? Do smaller states have agency? How should we understand the role of infrastructure in broader development? Does industrial policy work? And crucially, how should competing global powers respond?Binding Type: Hardcover

Quality
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Brown
Me encantó, love it, looks stylish and feels like a very good quality product made of leather, so far no problems with the size of my cards fitting on it. Only seems to be like top up once you put a lot inside it if not just regular size wallet even a little bit smaller than a regular one

Great wallet but its a snug fit
Size: One Size, Color: Black (Hunter)
Listen to the other reviews! This wallet is ALMOST perfect. It came in 2 days without prime, looks amazing, is slim, and has everything you need in a wallet, except for space. Not that it doesnt have a bunch of card slots because it does, but you cant get the cards in them! It is real leather which is great but it also means its tight. My husband could only fit one card in each slot. He tried to put two cards in the side slots and now we cant get them out. The id slot is a tight fit and the plastic window is so small that once we actually got his license in it, it cuts off his birthday and other important details so he will have to take it out in order to show it, which takes about 2 minutes to remove it. Knowing how real leather works, I know it will stretch out but for the time being I feel bad for whoever is behind him in line. Other than that its a great wallet and he loves the look, feel, and the fact that it has the 2 cash pockets. If it wasnt for the tight fit, it would be 5 stars.
