Resumen

La iniciativa china de la Nueva Ruta de la Seda (BRI) fue anunciada en 2013 como un proyecto que aspiraba a promover la conectividad entre continentes a través de tierra y mar. Una década después de su inicio oficial, la BRI ha modificado su diseño, su ámbito de aplicación, sus mecanismos de implementación, y hasta las opiniones que suscita en el panorama internacional. La BRI era de todo menos un proyecto modesto y, como tal, fue ganando ímpetu en países de todo el mundo mediante numerosos acuerdos de cooperación bilateral con China.

Sin embargo, la Nueva Ruta de la Seda tiene tanto defensores como detractores, e incluso han surgido proyectos que pretenden actuar como contrapartida de la misma. Ha sido fuertemente cuestionada por considerarse una herramienta de control geopolítico en manos del gobierno de Pekín, pero su objetivo primordial se mantiene. Comprender la naturaleza de una iniciativa de semejante envergadura es una tarea clave de cara a poder analizar sus debilidades, sus ventajas, sus inconvenientes y su posible evolución.
