Abstract

This paper discusses the implementation and challenges of the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC). In addition to economic motivations, the IMEC’s major geopolitical drive is to counter the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and to normalize the relations between Arab states and Israel. However, the corridor faces many risks and difficulties because it will cross the geopolitically delicate Middle East, where ongoing wars, conflicts, political instability, and regional confrontations exist.
