Download or read book The One Belt One Road OBOR Initiative and the Port of Piraeus written by Tatiana Gontika and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the reader with a better understanding of the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, its various projects around the world, and its consequences at a local as well as an international level. Background information on both Chinese and Greek sociopolitical history and their maritime industry is provided. The book also provides readers with the opinions of people directly involved with the Piraeus Port—China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company (COSCO) deal through interviews conducted and included in the book. OBOR, a signature initiative of Chinese President Xi Jinping, is currently one of the most frequently discussed enterprises worldwide. This controversial mix of worldwide projects has put both China and Xi at the center of attention, and not in a positive way. Of course, not all projects included in the initiative have been or are likely to be successful, but the initiative has far-ranging economic, cultural, and political potential. OBOR, in its essence, is an attempt by the Chinese government to secure a paramount position in global finance for the country and ensure that primacy extends far into the future. In particular, it is an attempt to ensure that there are enough natural resources for China to support itself in the long term. Therefore, the areas selected for the implementation and development of OBOR are deliberately strategic. One of the countries that China has chosen to invest in is Greece, specifically the Port of Piraeus. The OBOR initiative has many similarities with the ancient Silk Road. Although the ancient route and modern concept are in no way identical, many similarities become evident when the two are compared. To understand China’s motivation to build such a network, looking back at history is required. This project was long in the making. Various discussions took place both on an international and a domestic level until all parties came to an agreement. The deal at Piraeus between Greece and China affected more people than the politicians and the shipowners—it affected everyone involved in the operations of the port as well as the residents of the area. To further comprehend the impact on their lives, one must see things through their eyes, and there is no better way than contacting individuals and conversing with them. In conclusion, the specific deal at Piraeus and the OBOR initiative as a whole have the potential of benefiting the international and local communities. However, specific measures must be taken, and governments must collaborate in order for the deal in Piraeus and the OBOR initiative to have the most beneficial and the least negative impact.

Download or read book Angry in Piraeus written by Maureen Freely and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this cahier, ""Maureen Freely explores what it was in her childhood that led her to become a translator, a traveller across the spaces that exist between countries, languages, forms. She describes her itinerant upbringing in America, Turkey, and Greece, vividly evoking what it means to be constantly commuting between worlds geographical, conceptual, linguistic, literary in search of a home, or a self, that is proving elusive. She details how she went from being a novelist to being Orhan Pamuk s translator; why too it was necessary for her at one point to cease to be his translator and return to her own fictional worlds. The cahier is completed by a series of delicate collages by Japanese artist Rie Iwatake: images that journey through their own in-between spaces, in a play of analogies and metaphors."
