“…Still, sustainability challenges the assessment of development in general, but also at the local scale. Reflecting the macro-literature set, the spatial concept "local" is seldom applied [123][124][125][126]. Another literature gap exists in the exploration of socio-cultural and even socio-economic effects.…”

Towards Local Sustainability of Mega Infrastructure: Reviewing Research on the New Silk Road

The Belt and Road Initiative is the leading project in the regions along the ancient Silk Road. This aims to revive the New Silk Road (NSR) as a transnational space towards an era of new regional integration and globalization. Despite the potential economic effects on a global scale, local sustainability remains questionable. Building upon the central engagement in infrastructure improvements, this article aims to investigate the role of local sustainability in research along the New Silk Road. Starting with 597 scientific articles, this article conducts a systematic literature review on four levels of concretization to characterize the research field of the New Silk Road, and to develop in-depth insights systematically. The results reveal a research focus on economic growth, which is lacking in environmental considerations and especially the socio-cultural dimension of sustainability on a local scale. Future directions in local sustainability should therefore include local stakeholders to build a joint understanding of sustainability by recognizing the characteristics of regionalism upon which manifold local support of mega infrastructure can evolve. Given these findings, the New Silk Road emerges as a field of study that calls for interdisciplinary research on different spatial levels.

“…It is to follow the path of peaceful development and take mutual benefit and win-win as the value standard for country-to-country exchanges. Further elaboration of this idea can be found in the underlying tenets of the Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) (Daye et al, 2020). China's tourism diplomacy, to some extent, is one of the underlying themes in the BRI, which has undoubtedly become the main focus among China and the related countries since its first proposal in September 2013 (Cheng, 2016;Cho et al, 2017).…”

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Viewed from Chinese-style modernity, this article explores Chinese tourism diplomacy in relation to the development of Chinese outbound tourism. Using public policy analysis, the article examines the role of modern Chinese statecraft in the outbound tourism sector. It identifies four main characteristics in the nature of tourism diplomacy: the economic power of outbound tourism; outbound tourism as sanctionable or rewarding forces; the relatively low political sensitivity and high flexibility of outbound tourism; culture and tourism integration to enhance international relations. The article contributes to the literature by illuminating the interconnectivity between diplomacy and tourism via investigating through China-style modernity. It contributes to a repositioning of the nation-state power metrics of China's outbound tourism industry.

Megaprojects serve as the foundation of societal progress, providing essential infrastructure for a country's development and meeting its societal needs. There is a growing interest within the academic community to untangle the complex nature of megaprojects. This study conducts a comprehensive systematic literature review on megaprojects from the perspective of business, management, and accounting studies to provide a general map of the research conducted in this field and to highlight gaps for future research. The findings reveal thematic areas, including (i) sustainable development and decision‐making, (ii) governance approach, (iii) project management, (iv) risk assessment, and (v) economic and social effects/social responsibility. Moreover, identified gaps encompass limited consideration of the use/operation and end‐of‐life phases, inadequate evaluation of environmental and social impacts in economic terms, insufficient focus on sustainability reporting, inclusive governance, and using novel methodologies for complex system analysis in the field of megaprojects.
