About
The UWI-Global Belt and Road Research Network is an interdisciplinary research group engaged in informing and evaluating deepening cooperation and the emerging development partnership between China and the wider Caribbean region.
OBJECTIVES
The network serves to stimulate discourse, dialogue and debate on the various dimensions of Caribbean-China relations and provide a platform for the sharing of ideas between public, private and academic actors.
Through seminars, symposiums, conferences, policy forums, partnerships with academic institutions and research centres, the network endeavours to generate independent research and produce scholarly work on the critical interactions among China, the Caribbean and the Global South.
Importantly, this in depth analysis will enable Caribbean policy makers in their efforts at planning and fashioning appropriate policy frameworks as they engage with the Belt and Road Initiative.
