Diplomazia, sicurezza e sviluppo economico nelle relazioni tra Cina e Afghanistan

Translated title of the contribution: Diplomacy, security and economic development in China-Afghanistan relations

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

In this contribution I examine the challenges and opportunities in the relations between Afghanistan and China from the vantage point of three connectivity projects: the Mes Aynak copper mine, the Amu Darya oil field and the Wakhan road project. Taken together, these three projects, while not exhaustive of the entirety of the bilateral relationship, offer a nuanced picture of the promise and perils accompanying Chinese efforts to invest in Afghanistan.
