Digital Silk Road

The Digital Silk Road (DSR) is a very new phenomenon and initiative, and what it actually encompasses is not settled. The DSR can be viewed as the digital and information component of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that seeks to promote Internet‐enabled inclusive globalization. It is, however, far more than just an infrastructure project, clearly serving a broader objective of narrowing the global digital divide. Since the DSR was first announced in 2015, the Chinese Government has promoted cooperation and business projects with BRI countries in order to promote digital connectivity with undeniable positive impacts on regional and global connectivity. Other research that is also discussed concentrates on the strategic and geopolitical implications of the DSR and its dynamic, complex, and sometimes unpredictable elements.
