New article published on the impact of the Belt and Road initiative on international logistics networks

The Chair of Logistics would like to inform you that the article "Decrypting the Belt and Road Initiative: Barriers and Development Paths for Global Logistics Networks" was published in the journal "Sustainability".

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an ambitious infrastructure and development project promoting sustainable economic growth through facilitating prosperous trade across Eurasia and Africa; however, its potential remains underexploited. Logistics networks along BRI routes face several challenges that hinder efficient operations. This study aims to synthesize current barriers to the BRI from an LSCM perspective; propose strategies for dealing with them; and outline and assess conceivable BRI development scenarios to create awareness for possible international logistics network developments.
