The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become the most important strategic initiative in Xi Jinping's foreign policy. Due to its characteristics and scope, one of the main academic debates it has generated is to establish whether it is a Chinese initiative or strategy. The initiative is a proposal for international economic cooperation to execute projects related to trade and infrastructure along its economic corridors and maritime routes. With the focus on improving connectivity between Europe and Asia, it is open to all those countries on the globe that wish to integrate it, expanding the cooperation platform and consolidating the image of China as a global power. Our work tries to understand what the initiative consists of, what are the strategic interests pursued by Beijing and how the BRI is articulated with the “Chinese dream”. To do this, we will study the factors that gave rise to the initiative, its place in Xi Jinping's foreign policy, as well as its design, geographic scope, the implementation of the main projects and the financing mechanisms. We will start from the premise that China, through the Belt and Road Initiative, uses economic diplomacy to pursue its strategic interests, increasing trade, investment and finance along the economic corridors that comprise it. Desde su llegada, a fines de 2012, Xi Jinping imprimió una faceta global a la política exterior china. La Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) (Iniciativa de la Franja y de la Ruta en castellano), se ha convertido en la iniciativa estratégica más importante de la política exterior de Xi Jinping. Por sus características y alcance, uno de los principales debates académicos que ha generado, es establecer si se trata de una iniciativa o una estrategia china. La Iniciativa es una propuesta de cooperación económica internacional para ejecutar proyectos relacionados al comercio e infraestructura a lo largo de sus corredores económicos y rutas marítimas, con el foco en mejorar la conectividad entre Europa y Asia, y abierta a todos aquellos países del globo que deseen integrarla. Nuestro trabajo intenta comprender en qué consiste la Iniciativa, cuáles son los intereses estratégicos que persigue Beijing y cómo se articula la BRI con el “sueño chino”. Para ello, estudiaremos los factores que dieron origen a la Iniciativa, qué lugar ocupa en la política exterior de Xi Jinping, así como su diseño, alcance geográfico, implementación de los principales proyectos y sus mecanismos de financiación. Partiremos de la premisa que China, a través de la Iniciativa de la Franja y de la Ruta, utiliza la diplomacia económica para perseguir sus intereses estratégicos, incrementando el comercio, las inversiones y las finanzas a lo largo de los corredores económicos que la componen.
