Description
The Silk Road—the ancient network of trade routes through Eurasia and the Middle East connecting east and west—has a rich history of facilitating prosperity and cultural exchange. More than a commercial network, it was made possible by a complex web of rules, agreements, institutions, and relationships. Some forty countries lie along this land and maritime route, accounting for nearly seventy percent of the world’s population, fifty-five percent of the world’s GDP, and seventy-five percent of known energy reserves. Yet in many ways, the potential of the regional connectivity has remained largely untapped. The United States and China each has a vision for the development of this increased regional connectivity. The Institute for State Effectiveness will facilitate U.S.-China dialogues aimed at developing consensus on a set of common objectives, including increased connectivity and economic exchange.
