Воздействие инициативы «Один пояс, один путь» на окружающую среду

Abstracts

RU

Целью статьи является (1) описание двусмысленности определения BRI; (2) предложение упрощенной и обобщенной типологии инфраструктуры НИОКР; (3) анализ китайских документов по проектам «озеленения» в рамках инициативы «Один пояс, один путь»; (4) описание влияния инициативы на окружающую среду; (5) описание роли социальных и экономических факторов, влияющих на среду НИОКР и политику устойчивого развития. Статья может способствовать активизации дискуссии о воздействии инициативы «Один пояс, один путь» на окружающую среду и проведению дальнейших междисциплинарных исследований с учетом многогранного характера этой трансграничной инициативы. Это очень важно, поскольку влияние BRI, вероятно, будет ощущаться на протяжении поколений после его завершения во всем мире. В статье в основном используются следующие методы исследования: метод институционально-правового анализа (для представления институциональных и правовых основ Зеленого шелкового пути); метод сбора и наблюдения фактов, а также метод синтеза и анализа.

The article aims (1) to describe the ambiguities around the definition of BRI; (2) propose a simplified and generalised typology of RDI infrastructure; (3) analyse Chinese documents on “greening” projects under the “Belt and Road” Initiative; (4) describe the initiative’s impact on the environment; (5) describe the role of social and economic factors influencing the environment of RDI and sustainable development policy. The article contributes to the discussion on the environmental impact of the Belt and Road Initiative and further interdisciplinary research – considering the multifaceted nature of this cross-border initiative. It is crucial as the impact of BRI is likely to be felt for generations after it is completed worldwide. The article uses the following research methods: the method of institutional and legal analysis (to present the institutional and legal foundations of the Green Silk Road); the method of collecting and observing facts, as well as the method of synthesis and analysis.
