从"走出去"战略到"一带一路"倡议的提出,对外投资逐步成为我国刺激经济增长、推动发展转型、构建区域治理新格局的重要举措,而重大基础设施投资在其中扮演着愈加重要的角色。近年来重大基础设施投资成绩斐然,但同时也不得不正视当下沿线国家文化冲突频发、项目投资受阻的现实情况,加之投资企业国际化运营经验不足、文化风险意识淡薄、防范措施不到位等问题,投资活动面临巨大威胁。为克服上述难题,完善当前尚未形成体系的文化风险管理研究,有必要从识别文化风险的表现形式、剖析其分布特征等方面入手确保投资活动的顺利开展。文章首先通过对典型案例和重要文献的梳理从语言、民族宗教、人文环境、外交关系四个维度识别得到了21项文化风险因素。再基于国家风险评价的相关研究成果构建了重大基础设施投资的文化风险指标体系,之后运用熵权法确定它们的综合权重。最后以"一带一路"沿线的32个国家为研究对象采用TOPSIS评价模型对各个国家的风险等级进行评估,并在利用SPSS软件对评估结果进行深入分析后,制定了有针对性的风险防范策略。文章的主要结论如下:总结文化风险的主要表现形式。从维度上看,语言风险和外交关系风险对重大基础设施投资的影响最大,其次是人文环境风险与民族宗教风险;从风险要素来看,双方的项目合作基础、语言产品以及东道国的华人比重对投资活动的开展存在显著影响。衡量沿线国家的文化风险水平。从数值上看,它呈现出明显的右偏性,除新加坡、马来西亚两国贴近度明显大于其他国家,"一带一路"沿线国家的整体文化风险贴进度围绕着均值0.2左右波动。分析适宜投资国家的集聚特征。从空间分布看,这类国家有集中分布的趋势。集聚水平从东南亚到西亚、欧洲逐渐减小,其中新加坡的投资条件显著优于其他各国;文章进一步根据风险等级的划分结果绘制了沿线国家的风险地图,发现约旦、孟加拉国这类特例国家不符合上述特征,故结合聚类分析的贴近度计算结果发现文化风险分布规律可能也受历史沿革和经济水平的潜在影响。文章研究"一带一路"倡议下重大基础设施投资面临的文化风险,一方面改进了文化风险的识别与评估方法、有助于构建完整的文化风险管理流程;另一方面提出了文化风险防范的具体对策,有助于解决实际的问题、为投资企业提供决策支持。

[Abstract]
From the "going global" strategy to "the Belt and Road" initiative, foreign investment has gradually become an important measure for China to stimulate economic growth as well as promoting development transformation and building a new pattern of regional governance, and major infrastructure investment plays an increasingly important role in it. Recent years major infrastructure investments have achieved remarkable results, however, we have to face the reality of frequent cultural conflicts and obstructed project construction along "the Belt and Road". In addition, investment companies have insufficient experience as well as inadequate preventive measures towards international operations, they even ignore the existence of cultural risks. In order to overcome the above problems and improve the current cultural risk management research that has not formed a system yet, it is necessary to identify the manifestations of cultural risks and analyze their distribution characteristics to ensure the smooth development of investment activities. The paper firstly identifies 21 cultural risk elements from four dimensions:language, ethnic religion, human environment, and diplomatic relations, through the analysis of typical cases and important documents. Based on the related research results of national risk assessment, the cultural risk index system of major infrastructure investment is constructed. Meanwhile, entropy weight method is used to determine their comprehensive weights. Then the risk levels of 32 countries along "the Belt and Road" are evaluated with TOPSIS model. After in-depth analysis of the evaluation results using SPSS software, a targeted risk prevention strategy is formulated. The main conclusions of the thesis are as follows:1) The main threat of cultural risk. From the perspective of dimensions, language risks and diplomatic relations risks have the greatest impact on major infrastructure investment, followed by humanities environment risks and ethnic and religious risks; from the perspective of risk factors, the project cooperation basis, language products, and the proportion of Chinese in the host country have a significant impact on the development of investment activities. 2) The cultural risk level of countries along the route. From a numerical point of view, it shows an obvious right-biasedness. Except for Singapore and Malaysia, the progress of posting is significantly higher than that of other countries. The overall cultural risk posting progress of countries along "the Belt and Road" fluctuates around an average value of about 0.2. 3) The agglomeration characteristics of countries suitable for investment. From the perspective of spatial distribution, such countries tend to be concentrated. The agglomeration level gradually decreases from Southeast Asia to West Asia and Europe, among which Singapore's investment conditions are significantly better than other countries; the paper further draws a risk map of countries along the route according to the classification results of risk levels, and finds that Jordan, Bangladesh and other exceptional countries do not meet the above. Therefore, combined with the closeness calculation results of cluster analysis, it is found that the distribution law of cultural risk may also be potentially affected by historical evolution and economic level. This paper studies the cultural risks faced by major infrastructure investments under "the Belt and Road" initiative. On the one hand, it improves the identification and assessment methods of cultural risks and helps to build a complete cultural risk management process; on the other hand, it proposes specific measures for cultural risk prevention. Countermeasures are helpful to solve practical problems and provide decision support for investment enterprises.
