Abstract
The aims of this paper are to introduce the One Belt-One Road project, to investigate whether it is an economic or geopolitical initiative and finally to try to predict the consequences of the project with respect to the local, regional and global powers in the short, medium and long run. The method of this paper is a verbal, descriptive one with the theoretical support by German Historical School. Since the initiative is too fresh, it is tried to reach fresh documents on inter-net to form the full literature. To sum up, the One Belt-One Road project that is introduced as an economic project by China, connecting her with Europe via a mix of land and maritime roads network makes some countries happy while making the rest worried due to its financial size and geographical extent. The project that is possible to be seen as an economic initiative in the short run has the potential to turn into a project with serious geopolitical considerations for local, regional and global powers in the medium and long run.
