Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes the six-year period of implementation of the global Chinese project One Belt, One Road (OBOR), or the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Its positive aspects are highlighted: expanding the number of participants and their areas of interaction, creating a powerful financial base, creating new transborder transportation routes, increasing trade and investment among the countries participating in the project. Problems have been identified, including the lack of transparency of OBOR projects, insufficient consideration of national interests and local needs of China's partners, increasing their geopolitical risks, and the "debt trap" of Chinese loans. Possible ways of deepening the Russian-Chinese interaction at the new stage of BRI 2.0 development are proposed.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper examines both the universal features and unique aspects of China’s digitalization process. The impact of digitalization, domestically and in other Asian countries, is also explored. China’s digital economy has grown rapidly since the end of the first decade of the 21st century, and compared to other countries with similar levels of economic development, China has a high rate of use of digital services. China’s digitalization process is driven by both private companies and by the state’s strategic initiatives, including social governance. China faces both opportunities and risks from digitalization. Workers in rural areas as well as older workers may face a higher risk of job loss through automation in the future. Chinese IT companies are eager to expand their activities both domestically and in foreign countries, and their investments in so-called “unicorn” companies in Southeast Asia are especially noteworthy.

Summary/Abstract |
This exploration provides an alternative future to that offered in the discussions surrounding what is often referred to by the ‘fourth industrial revolution’ or the ‘third offset’. I argue that even modest projections of existing trends have the capability of altering the grammar or ecology of geopolitics as well as the drivers for competition and catastrophe. Such changes are more significant than questions of how this or that actor might be different or which great powers may shape the international order in a hundred years. The essay seeks to understand what disruptive changes in non-human capability might mean for the shape of a potential geopolitics to come. In a more general sense, I want to think about how violence will be distributed differently. Will there be new sources and even kinds of competition unique to a global system populated and in some cases, structured by cunning machines – some mechanical, others digital – and what are the implications for how we imagine international relations?

Summary/Abstract |
A GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS is a "slumbering reality" of sorts barely discernible in economic activity per se. Judging by the formal macro-economic parameters, we are in the period of a relatively high global economic growth. Against the background of the existing and socially insurmountable development asymmetries, negative expectations look like the main tangible outcrops of a global economic crisis1 further aggravated by new technologies. Its expectations directly affect not so much the development pace as expectations of repercussions of realized "dormant" crisis trends. It has become absolutely clear that considerable or even radical structural transformations of global economic architecture cannot be avoided and that they will be followed by transformations of the global political and military space.
