China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Eastern Europe and Eurasia

On the basis of pictures taken during his fieldwork in Serbia, Georgia and Kazakhstan, Valentin Krüsmann will present key insights into the work of Chinese and Multinational actors in the development of infrastructure – highways, metro systems and wind power plants – in the region. His presentation will explore the impacts of such projects on local populations, what they tell us about China’s presence on the global stage, and the role that Western actors have in the materialisation of these projects.
