Analysis of the Interaction between International Political Economy and Intercultural Communication within the Belt and Road Initiative Framework

This study focuses on the far-reaching impact of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in the global political economy, particularly the dynamic interaction of cross-cultural exchanges. The article analyzes the origins and development of the Belt and Road Initiative and its strategic significance in the international political economy through three core dimensions: global governance, regional economic integration, and cultural communication. By evaluating the specific practices of the initiative in promoting international monetary cooperation, infrastructure construction, and transnational investment, the paper highlights the key role of the Belt and Road Initiative in reshaping the global economic structure and geopolitical landscape. In particular, in the context of cross-cultural exchanges, the paper explores the communication barriers between different cultural backgrounds, proposes a strategic framework for promoting crosscultural understanding and cooperation, and analyzes how to build and disseminate cultural soft power under the “Belt and Road Initiative” framework. Through empirical analysis of several specific cooperation cases, the paper further discusses the challenges and coping mechanisms encountered during the initiative’s implementation. Finally, based on the study’s results, the article presents policy recommendations and discusses the future direction of research.
