This article investigates the effects of China&rsquo ; s outward direct investment (ODI) on the institutional quality of the Belt and Road (B& ; R) countries. Based on a panel data set of 63 B& ; R countries during the period 2003 to 2016, we find that China&rsquo ; s ODI improves the institutional quality of B& ; R countries not only in the short run but also in the long run. Further, although China&rsquo ; s ODI exerts no differential impacts on host country institutional dimensions of &ldquo ; control of corruption,&rdquo ; &ldquo ; government effectiveness,&rdquo ; and &ldquo ; political stability&rdquo ; in countries with different natural resource endowments, it improves their institutional dimensions of &ldquo ; regulatory quality&rdquo ; and &ldquo ; rule of law,&rdquo ; implying that China&rsquo ; s ODI may help the host B& ; R countries minimize the &ldquo ; resource curse&rdquo ; . As one of the most important strategies for China&rsquo ; s opening-up development in the current era, the B& ; R initiative serves as means to promote sustainable development of B& ; R countries. The article therefore contributes to existing scholarship on the institutional effects of China&rsquo ; s ODI and sheds light on the mechanisms that drive sustainable development.

"The aim of this book is to examine and compare the integration process in both Europe and Asia, and to draw some possible lessons for East Asia from the European experience, which culminated with the establishment of the economic and monetary union. The book embraces the political dimension of integration (peace and security), economic, trade and monetary aspects, and cultural aspects. Written by well-known experts in the field of integration, this book represents one of the first attempts at comparing Europe and Asia in the process of integration, by incorporating the latest developments in the field. The main theme of the book - integration in Asia from a comparative perspective - has been relatively unexplored as most experts in the field of integration are also 'area experts' (i.e. European integration experts or Asian experts). The contributors to the book provide a distinctive perspective based upon their understanding of integration (political, economic, and socio-cultural) across various regions of the world."--Provided by publisher.
