China Insights

This book attempts to answer the most fundamental questions of BRI by applying economic methods: What is, what to do, and how to do. Whether in China or the international community, whether in academia or in decision-making circles, there is no consensus on these issues, even though BRI has been around for eight years. As a result, there are many misunderstandings and suspicions about BRI, which have become a major obstacle to its smooth development. As an academic study, this book is not a simple interpretation of the official Chinese BRI representation, but an analysis of it is based on a unified theoretical framework. In addition to tracing the evolution of BRI and the cognition of the international community, the focus of this book is to analyze the attributes, positioning, and governance structure of BRI, as well as to discuss the internal and external risks it faces and its future development direction. The author starts from the development orientation of BRI (different from the current rule orientation of global governance) and makes a normative definition of it. Emphasizing development orientation does not mean that BRI does not need rules, but to jointly formulate rules according to the needs of development. Therefore, one of the directions to promote the high-quality development of BRI is institutionalization.

The Economic Analysis of Belt and Road

Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

This book offers a comprehensive and authoritative survey of the tontine, an innovative financial instrument conceived and implemented in various settings throughout Georgian and early Victorian Britain.
The book draws on meticulous historical research including archival sources, account books and newspaper texts to present a coherent analysis of the origins and development of tontines in the United Kingdom. It shows how tontines differed from other forms of financing and offered an innovative approach to funding large infrastructure projects, with new dynamics in shareholding and investing, as well as introducing the concept of private development of public infrastructure. The book presents multiple case studies from the period and compares different types of tontines, such as government-run tontines and private holdings companies, and discusses the failures and challenges as well as successes of this new financial tool. The book will be an excellent reference work for scholars in financial and legal history, as well as social historians and those working on urban histories.&nbsp;

Risk Management and Corporate Governance in Unpredictable Business Environments

The infrastructure of global trade is invisible until it fails.

Pipelines, ports, power grids, data centers, and the financial systems that fund them quietly sustain modern civilization. Yet the machinery behind them: the project finance structures, risk frameworks, export credit agencies, and capital markets that determine what gets built and what does not. This system remains poorly understood by most of the people who depend on it.

Financing the World We Trade In pulls readers inside that hidden architecture. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience and over $3 billion in project financings, mergers, and acquisitions across more than 20 countries, David Goodnight explains how infrastructure projects are structured, financed, insured, negotiated, and brought into operation across the modern global economy.

Most finance books explain one layer. This one connects all of them: from a garage inventor through technology commercialization, export credit support, and institutional project finance, to the global capital markets that ultimately hold the paper.

What the book covers:

¿ How lenders assess risk, why projects fail to secure financing, and what developers must do to improve financeability

¿ Project finance fundamentals: FEL process, EPC contracts, cash-flow waterfalls, DSCR mechanics, construction risk, and completion guarantees

¿ Export credit agencies, commodity-backed lending, letters of credit, and structured trade finance

¿ Technology performance insurance and the financing gap between development and commercial deployment

¿ Digital trade transformation: electronic bills of lading, tokenization, and AI in compliance and underwriting

¿ Community and inventor finance: equity crowdfunding, CDFI, NMTC, Reg CF, Reg A+, and Reg D, with real case studies

¿ AI data center project finance: GPU-collateralized facilities, ABS securitization, and the power demand surge reshaping infrastructure investment

Written for builders, developers, inventors, traders, infrastructure professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the financial machinery behind the modern world.

Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy

Public- private partnerships (PPPs) represent a collaboration between the private and public sectors, not only for the purpose of filling gaps related to economic infrastructure but also to improve the quality and diversity of public services. Its strengths have led several governments to launch broad programs for the promotion of PPP in several sectors, particularly in emerging economies. Understanding its main principles, its rationale and characteristics, and the current debate on practical implementation complexities is critical for readers interested in public policy and development.This book presents an analytically grounded treatment of PPPs with particular emphasis on developing economies. Its main contribution lies in offering a lifecycle- based framework that integrates economic theory, regulatory analysis, institutional design, and empirical evidence to guide both understanding and implementation of PPPs. It presents and examines the current debates around PPP and its strengths and weaknesses compared to other methods of public project implementation. Additionally, it highlights best practices and lessons learned across several areas, such as project planning, design and formulation, risk allocation, financial structuring, awarding processes and ex post assessment, among others. The book concludes by offering an overview of the evolving research trends in the design and implementation of PPPs and their implications, as well as the future research agenda.This book is particularly useful for researchers, scholars and students of economics, public policy and development specialists, as well as practitioners and officials interested in understanding the main concepts, principles, and best practices in PPP implementation in emerging economies.

Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine…&nbsp;E. M. Forster The world’s first public railway, the Stockton &amp; Darlington Railway, opened in the northeast of England in 1825 and marked the start of rail travel in Britain and across the world. Over the following two centuries the rail network expanded over the country and led to the construction of some of the most spectacular examples of British architecture and engineering.Through a selection of 14 varied journeys, this book takes the reader on a breathtaking illustrated tour of Britain’s rail network, taking in stations, bridges, viaducts and other architectural elements, but also the people and personalities associated with them.&nbsp;This beautiful and engaging book is filled with stunning illustrations by the author and will appeal to anyone with an interest in Britain’s railway history and architecture.

Through a selection of 14 journeys this book takes the reader on a breathtaking illustrated tour of the most impressive stations, bridges and other rail structures across Great Britain to capture the grandeur of the great Victorian pioneers like Brunel as well as more recent redevelopments.

America in the World

How the creation of a new banking infrastructure in the early twentieth century established the United States as a global financial power The dominance of US multinational businesses today can seem at first like an inevitable byproduct of the nation’s superpower status. In Dollars and Dominion, Mary Bridges tells a different origin story. She explores the ramshackle beginnings of US financial power overseas, showing that US bankers in the early twentieth century depended on the US government, European know-how, and last-minute improvisation to sustain their work abroad. Bridges focuses on an underappreciated piece of the nation’s financial infrastructure—the overseas branch bank—as a brick-and-mortar foundation for expanding US commercial influence. Bridges explores how bankers sorted their new communities into “us”—potential clients—and “them”—local populations, who often existed on the periphery of the banking world. She argues that US bankers mapped their new communities by creating foreign credit information—and by using a financial asset newly enabled by the Federal Reserve System, the bankers’ acceptance, in the process. In doing so, they constructed a new architecture of US trade finance that relied on long-standing inequalities and hierarchies of privilege. Thus, racialized, class-based, and gendered ideas became baked into the financial infrastructure. Contrary to conventional wisdom, there was nothing inevitable or natural about the rise of US finance capitalism. Bridges shows that US foreign banking was a bootstrapped project that began as a side hustle of Gilded Age tycoons and sustained itself by relying on the power of the US state, copying the example of British foreign bankers, and building alliances with local elites. In this way, US bankers constructed a flexible and durable new infrastructure to support the nation’s growing global power.
