Abstract: This paper reviews the monograph China’s Integration Strategies with Fulcrum Countries along the Belt and Road by Qi Huaigao. It points out that the book accurately addresses the academic gaps in current research on the Belt and Road Initiative, namely the overgeneralization of macro-level studies and the isolation of single-country analyses, and constructs a scientific research system with “pivotal countries” as the core anchor. From five dimensions—the identification method of pivotal countries, research paradigm, academic innovation, content structure and practical value—the paper systematically analyzes the book’s academic breakthroughs: the establishment of a pivotal country selection system integrating qualitative criteria with quantitative data, the adoption of a closed-loop analytical logic of “national context illustration-policy analysis-alignment practice-response to challenges”, and the realization of precise sample selection, in-depth research and objective reflection of reality. It also elaborates on the book’s content design featuring the integration of “point-line-plane” and its practical enabling value in serving policy formulation, corporate practice and international communication. Meanwhile, this paper objectively examines the book’s limitations in terms of data timeliness, research depth on potential pivotal countries and the dimensions of research perspectives, and proposes future research directions, including dynamically updating research samples, deepening research on emerging node countries and adding diverse research perspectives. It is concluded that as a representative achievement in the development of Belt and Road research toward greater precision and refinement, the book provides a new paradigm for regional cooperation research and offers important academic support and practical reference for the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative.

标题：以支点为锚，探对接之径——评《中国与“一带一路”沿线支点国家发展战略对接研究》
摘要：本文以祁怀高所著《中国与“一带一路”沿线支点国家发展战略对接研究》为评析对象，指出该书精准瞄准当前“一带一路”研究领域宏观泛化、单一国别分析孤立的学术缺口，以“支点国家”为核心锚点构建了科学的研究体系。文章从支点国识别方法、研究范式、学术创新、内容架构、现实价值五个维度，系统分析了该书构建“定性标准+定量数据”的支点国筛选体系、采用“国情铺垫—政策解析—对接实践—挑战应对”的闭环分析逻辑、实现样本筛选精准化、研究深度纵深化、现实关照客观化的学术突破，以及其“点—线—面”融合的内容设计与服务于政策制定、企业实践、国际传播的现实赋能价值。同时，本文也客观审视了该书在数据时效性、潜在支点国研究深度、研究视角维度上的局限，并提出了动态更新研究样本、深化新兴节点研究、补充多元研究视角的未来研究方向。最终指出，该书作为“一带一路”研究向精准化、精细化进阶的代表性成果，为区域合作研究提供了新范式，也为“一带一路”高质量发展提供了重要的学术支撑与实践参考。
