Resilience Evolution of the Trade Networks in Regions along the Belt and Road
On the basis of complex network theory,this paper uses various network analysis methods to build an analytical framework for measuring the trade network resilience,and conducts a comprehensive measurement of the trade network resilience in regions along the Belt and Road from two dimensions of node resilience and structural resilience,and explores the evolution process and development trend.The conclusions are as follows:1)The trade links are getting closer in countries(regions)along the Belt and Road,the trade network density is increasing,the unbalanced situation is gradually emerging,and the trade network topology is changing from loose to close,and from multipolar to unipolar.2)The node resilience of the trade network has evident heterogeneity in countries(regions)along the Belt and Road and is in dynamic evolution,it gradually forms a trade pattern with China,Russia,India,Turkey,and other countries as the strong core.3)Considering the four dimensions of connectivity,invulnerability,recovery and robustness,the structural resilience of the trade network has been improved in countries(regions)along the Belt and Road,and the network structure heterogeneity has been enhanced.Therefore,in the future,it is necessary to strengthen further the economic and trade cooperation among the countries(regions)along the Belt and Road,enhance the connectivity and robustness of the trade network,and promote the trade interconnectivity to a higher level and broader dimension.
