The book The Belt and Road from a Global Perspective: the Revival of the Silk Road intends to provide an in-depth analysis of the rise of the ancient Silk Road, and the historical alternation of the decline of Onshore Silk Road and the rise of Maritime Silk Road from multiple perspectives like global economy and geopolitics. It also expounds the ins and outs, significance and theoretical basis of advocating this initiative, as well as the meticulous and continuous preparations needed to promote the "Belt and Road" project, based on past experience and lessons. The book points out that the “Belt and Road” initiative is not only to reopen the Silk Road, which has been blocked historically, to boost trading and financing, but also to transcend geopolitical considerations so as to build a community with a shared future for mankind and create a new type of globalization. Along with the great practice of the “Belt and Road” initiative, the Silk Road, the “world's longest and most promising economic and trade trad corridor”, is bound to usher in a brand-new revival.
