The first lecture in a four-part series by Dr. Art Pitz.
Lecture 1: "Iran: At the Center of China’s Belt and Road Initiative”
China's incredibly comprehensive vision for a new Silk Road is worth paying attention to, especially since it cannot be completed without Iran as its centerpiece geographically. We'll look at what that vision entails and how it impacts Iran. Let's explore the dimensions of this plan and its implications. Already there is regular freight train trade between China and Iran.
This is the first in a four-lecture series. The complete lecture series is as follows:
