In July 2020. I had the honour to be invited to server as a member of the Editorial Board for the "Routledge Series on Belt and Road Initiative". The Editorial Board is led by Prof Mehdi Amineh and comprises 17 scholars from all over the world. This series will serve as a venue for monographs and edited volumes making substantial contributions to the ongoing debate on the origin, processes and impacts of China’s Belt and Road Initiative in the wider context of International Relations, International Political Economy, Global Governance, Security, Geopolitics and Geo-economics.
