The Geopolitical Chessboard: Unpacking the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor’s Potential for Connectivity
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) emerges as a transformative blueprint for regional connectivity, with its initial phase delivering vital road infrastructure to bolster Pakistan’s weakening economy. Beyond its potential, CPEC navigates a labyrinth of challenges—including political instability, financial crises and escalating militancy—while intensifying geopolitical competition with India and the United States. This article reframes CPEC as a bridge to regional harmony, advocating its potential to reshape South Asia through economic interdependence and cooperative progress.
