Descripción

In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) stands at a complex crossroads—its promise as a transformative economic corridor is now shadowed by internal vulnerabilities and heightened geopolitical tensions. Post-COVID Challenges to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor: A Power Transition Theory presents a timely and critical exploration of these evolving dynamics through the lens of Power Transition Theory. This thought-provoking study delves into the intricate interplay between global and regional power structures, examining how China's rise and strategic collaboration with Pakistan via CPEC has triggered security anxieties in India and strategic countermeasures by the United States. Bridging theoretical insight with on-the-ground realities, the book sheds light on Pakistan’s internal governance and security challenges that continue to obstruct CPEC’s progress. By integrating academic theory with contemporary political analysis, this work offers a compelling framework to understand why CPEC faces escalating resistance in the post-COVID world. A must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking to decode the shifting contours of power in South Asia and beyond.
