Produktbeschreibung
Pakistan occupies an elevated role in China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and hosts its 'flagship' project, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). It has attracted the largest volume of investments under the BRI and opened itself comprehensively to its transformative potential. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of CPEC's impact on Pakistan's economy, politics, and society, covering its developmental benefits as well as resulting controversies.

Interdisciplinary and international experts capture the complexity of CPEC, presenting new empirical data in the form of interviews, archival materials, and documentary evidence. Covering topics ranging from agriculture to the environment, gender to security, they focus on local outcomes challenging prevalent narratives about the BRI as a strategic, China-driven vehicle to transform other countries in its image. They argue that examples like CPEC should be understood as interactive processes between China and its international partners, which produce interdependent relations between them. Beyond the case of CPEC, these findings contribute to the burgeoning field of 'Global China', through a comprehensive yet granular assessment of the first ten years of the BRI's flagship project.

This book will be of interest to scholars of area studies, regionalization, international relations and development studies, as well as China studies and South Asia studies focused on the most important and far-reaching national-level implementation of the BRI to date.

Rezensionen
"An indispensable volume for analyzing not only the infrastructural politics of development in Pakistan - but also for developing a grounded understanding of the geopolitics and geopolitical economy of China's ascent in the world system."

Majed Akhter, King's College London, UK

"This volume draws together case studies on CPEC that focus on the macro and the micro, and thus enriches our understanding of the whole. The case studies in this volume are invaluable for understanding the bigger picture."

Katherine Adeney, University of Nottingham, UK
