Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the Build Back Better and the Global Gateway projects from a geoeconomic perspective. In the causal comparison study conducted as a quantitative method in the research, the geoeconomic analysis units created by Robert D. Blackwill and Jennifer M. Harris in their work “War by Other Means: Geoeconomics and Statecraft” were used. In the first stage, the literature of the Belt and Road Initiative was examined in the context of the Build Back Better and Global Gateway projects; all primary sources were scanned and the question of whether the Belt and Road Initiative is a result of geoeconomic growth was focused on. In the second stage, the competitiveness of the B3W and GG projects with the Belt and Road Initiative was mentioned with the analysis units used in the comparison. In the conclusion section, the results of the comparison made in line with the geoeconomic analysis units are presented.
