Sokwanlok Lecture: Infrastructure Investment as a Development Strategy

Sokwanlok Lecture: Infrastructure Investment as a Development Strategy

China’s model of state-led development differs from both Western approaches and from its East Asian neighbors’ industrial policies by focusing solely on infrastructure investment. This strategy was pursued inside China and is the basis for its ambitious “One Belt, One Road” initiative. In this lecture, Francis Fukuyama, who has written widely on issues in development and international politics, will focus on the economic logic, functioning and vulnerabilities of China’sapproach to development. Francis Fukuyama is Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), and the Mosbacher Director of FSI’s Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law.
