Spicy Takes are aiming to demystify the geopolitical powerhouse that is China. With a history and economy that is so poorly understood, we will be interviewing academics, activists and technologists to unpack some of the key questions of our time.
This week we interview Dr Benjamin Barton of the Nottingham University Asia Research Institute. Ben is a leading researcher in the Belt and Road Initiative - a key pillar in china’s strategy to acquire soft power. Financing over a trillion dollars worth of infrastructural projects across Africa and Eurasia, it encapsulates modern China's global ambitions.
Spicy Takes drills down into its history, how it effects international development, and the key sites of contestation in the coming years.
Hosts: Tom Westgarth & Pranav Dandawate
Guest: Dr. Benjamin Robin Barton
