Nina Pejič, member of the EARL Research Unit, cooperates with the Zhejiang University on publishing a book about Belt and Road Initiative

The Zhejiang University’s Centre of Coordinated Regional Development (CCRD) has invited Nina Pejič, member of the EARL Research Unit and a Junior Researcher at the Centre of International Relations, University of Ljubljana, to cooperate as a Slovenian representative in the “Young Belt and Road – Opportunities in Central and Eastern Europe” publication. The book examines the Central and Eastern European Region, or what is termed the ‘16+1 Platform’. It discusses opportunities and challenges that young people face in each of these countries. 

The book is part of the Young Belt and Road series, an international, youth-led academic project in response to the China’s introduction of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013. The Belt and Road initiative has triggered a wave of academic discussions and an increased attention has been put into studying especially the diverse mix of cultures, religions, political structures, and business practices along the Belt and Road. 

Nina will also speak at the International Forum of the Belt and Road Initiative and Its Opportunities for the Youth on 28th December 2017 in Hangzhou, China. The Forum is organised by the Zhejiang University Academy of International Strategy and Law and the Guanghua Law School. In August 2018, Nina will also attend the publication conference in Hangzhou, where she will engage in the academic debate with Chinese students.
