Abstract

The shift of global production to Asian countries and the unrestrained movement of capital has entered a new stage, especially with the rise of the Chinese economy, and the debate about the transformation of globalization has also begun in the framework of the Belt and Road Project, announced in 2013. In this study, the transformation of globalization was discussed, and the role of China in the framework of the the Belt and Road Project, which was described as the building stone of this transformation, was examined. A debate has arisen over how the global center of gravity has shifted towards Eurasia and the US global hegemony has been declining.

Küreselleşmenin Dönüşümü ve Çin'in Rolü

Abstract

Küresel üretimin Asya ülkelerine kayması ve sermaye hareketlerinin sınırsız hareket etmesi bağlamında ele alınan küreselleşme, özellikle Çin ekonomisinin yükselişi ile yeni bir aşama içine girmiş ve 2013 yılında ilan edilen Kuşak ve Yol Projesi çerçevesinde de küreselleşmenin dönüşümü tartışmaları başgöstermiştir. Bu çalışmada küreselleşmenin dönüşümü konusu tartışılmış ve bu dönüşümün yapıtaşı olarak nitelenen Kuşak ve Yol Projesi çerçevesinde Çin’in rolü irdelenmiştir. Küreselleşmenin ağırlık merkezinin Avrasya’ya doğru kaydığı ve ABD Hegemonyası’nın azalma eğiliminde olduğu yeni küreselleşmenin Çin ekseninde neler barındırdığı üzerine tartışma yürütülmüştür.
