From the editors’ preface:

Tobias August and Natalia Ziółkowska chart public opinion on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Poland and Germany and identify overlaps and differences. Public opinion was examined in terms of its correlation with the three dimensions of sustainability (social, environmental and economic). The study found that in both Poland and Germany, the environmental dimension of sustainability predominates, but public opinion on the BRI differs. In both countries, however, public opinion tends to be negative.
