The acute crisis of neoliberalism and growing multipolarity reveal the increasing significance of two distinct, but mutually reinforcing and parallel trends. On a global scale, the Atlantic system has begun to disintegrate against the backdrop of tectonic geopolitical and economic shifts. This process of disintegration goes hand in hand with striking national-scale developments, which find their sharpest expression in the widespread adoption of alternative economic and security policies that prioritize national interests rather than the promotion of Atlanticist objectives. Particularly, developing countries show an ever-increasing interest in developing publicly-driven or state-guided models of economic development and cooperation on the basis of equality, common benefits, and shared development. This being said, these trends do not only affect the developing world. They also appear to have a strong impact on developed nations that are growing disillusioned with US-patented economic policies and American hegemonism.

Based on the context depicted above, the Belt & Road Initiative Quarterly (BRIQ) calls for academic articles, essays and book reviews that address issues related to topics such as:

  • Theoretical critiques of neoliberalism and alternative proposals from the lens of developing countries,
  • Revisiting the legacy of state-driven, popular, and autocentric models of development in a contemporary context,
  • The study of alternative economic and development policies implemented in the developing world,
  • Economic alternatives that emerge as a reaction to neoliberalism in Europe,
  • The political economy of multipolarity,
  • International cooperation initiatives contributing to multipolarity (e.g. the Belt and Road Initiative, the Eurasian Economic Union).

Deadline for paper submissions: January 20, 2022
