Abstract

Les « nouvelles routes de la soie » ont été lancées en 2013 par la Chine, mais n’ont vraiment démarré qu’en 2015. Elles sont ouvertes à tous les pays. Leur finalité est-elle impérialiste ? Elles visent plutôt à établir une hégémonie chinoise sur les plans économiques et politiques, en contrecarrant l’influence américaine. L’Europe occidentale est aussi affectée. Quel profit en tirer ? Quelles menaces ce projet recouvre-t-il ?

China launched the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013, but the program only really took off in 2015. The initiative is open to any and all countries. Rather than imperialism, its aim seems to be to establish Chinese economic and political hegemony by constructing an alternative to American influence. Western Europe has also been affected. What benefits does the initiative bring? And what dangers might it pose?
