Abstract
Global supply chain (GSC) risks are increasing, even more so with the unveiling of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). However, little knowledge exists on the subject. Using a twofold approach, this study systematically reviewed 178 articles in the literature and used a GSC risk framework to identify operational, supply, demand, and other environmental risks. Next, grounded in theoretical underpinning, propositions were developed before modelling the effects of six risk factors on BRI GSC disruption. This model provides a theoretical framework for developing a common understanding of BRI GSC risks and will facilitate the consistent application of knowledge in practice.
Keywords:
- global supply chains (GSCs),

Résumé
Les risques liés à la chaîne d’approvisionnement mondiale (GSC) augmentent, encore plus avec le dévoilement de l’initiative « Belt and Road » (BRI). Cependant, peu de connaissances existent sur le sujet. En utilisant une double approche, cette étude a systématiquement passé en revue 178 articles de la littérature et a utilisé un cadre de risques de la GSC pour identifier les risques opérationnels, d’offre, de demande et autres risques environnementaux. Ensuite, sur la base de fondements théoriques, des propositions ont été élaborées avant de modéliser les effets de six facteurs de risque sur les perturbations du GSC de BRI. Ce modèle fournit un cadre théorique pour développer une compréhension commune des risques du GSC BRI et facilitera l’application cohérente des connaissances dans la pratique.

Resumen
XLos riesgos de la cadena de suministro mundial (GSC) están aumentando, y más aún con la presentación de la Iniciativa de Cinturón y Carretera (BRI). Sin embargo, hay pocos conocimientos sobre el tema. Utilizando un doble enfoque, en este estudio se examinaron sistemáticamente 178 artículos de la bibliografía y se utilizó un marco de riesgos de la GSC para identificar los riesgos operacionales, de la oferta, la demanda y otros riesgos ambientales. A continuación, sobre la base de fundamentos teóricos, se elaboraron propuestas antes de modelar los efectos de seis factores de riesgo en la perturbación de la GSC del BRI. Este modelo proporciona un marco teórico para desarrollar una comprensión común de los riesgos del BRI GSC y facilitará la aplicación coherente de los conocimientos en la práctica.
