BORDERLANDS
The Borderlands research project investigates how China invests in, engages with, and deepens its presence within its land and maritime border neighbors in an attempt to reshape its immediate periphery. This is the second phase of NBR’s Mapping China’s Strategic Space project. The Borderlands Dashboard is available now, along with an introductory essay and podcast discussion with principal investigator Nadège Rolland.
