\n\u201cFragmented Sovereignty and Unregulated Flows: The \u201cNew Silk Road\u201d and the Banglaesh-China-India-Myanmar Corridor\u201d\u3000
\nby Willem van Schendel (University of Amsterdam)<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>:
\nIn recent years, the idea of the Silk Road has been reconceptualised as an inter-state enterprise led by China \u2013 a politically and culturally sanitised venture in which engineering feats and economic planning will lead to a \u2018win-win attempt for all.\u2019 In this talk I look at the frailties of such technocratic planning in view of flows and networks that states cannot control, or even clearly perceive. I consider an \u2018economic corridor\u2019 that links the overland and maritime Silk Roads \u2013 the stretch of land connecting Kunming and Kolkata across Myanmar and Bangladesh. This corridor presents many of the obstacles that the \u2018New Silk Road\u2019 is likely to face, notably distrust among states, implementation deficits, fragmented sovereignty and the vigour of unregulated flows across international borders. My presentation suggests that the plan, far from offering a \u2018win-win\u2019 solution, will produce unintended and unpredictable outcomes with many losers.<\/p>\n
