The author is part of editorial boards of many international research journals as well. Apart from research, he has interest in flying and deep sea diving and has visited Africa and Europe. The book signifies the value of Gwadar Port as a geo-strategic manoeuvre placed in contemporary and vibrant Indo-Pacific region. Gwadar deep-sea port will play a vital role in blue diplomacy by influencing facets like economy, geo-politics and military. Geographically, it is situated at the confluence of Eurasian and Australian intercontinental plates in proximity to the African Peninsula. Gwadar Port is turning into a mosaic of various cultures by linking billions of people from Europe, Russia, Asia, China, Africa and Australia for trade and development. The deep-sea port is located at the mouth of hydrocarbon-rich Hormuz Strait, the most vital choke point in the Indo-Pacific region. Strategically, being part of String of Pearls, Gwadar will influence the extra-regional players for blue diplomacy. This book covers the demography of Gwadar and its linkages and concerns with Afghanistan, Central Asian republics, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Wakhan Corridor, extra-regional forces and Germany. Considering the facets like the location of Gwadar Port and its diplo-economic value, it will emerge as a regional trans-shipment port.
Download or read book Politico Strategic and Economic Importance of Gwadar Port Pakistan written by Sajid Hussain and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a maritime nation, Pakistan has not been able to effectively exploit the sea and its resources. Decades of neglect have hampered the development of the maritime sector, which in turn has hurt both economic growth and the national security of the country while sea trade is the backbone of Pakistan's economy. This research work will argue that development of the maritime sector is important for politico strategic and economic growth of Pakistan. Pakistan is building a port at the south-western city of Gwadar on the mouth of the oil rich Persian Gulf. It provides an economical route for the flow of Central Asia's natural resources to the world along with easy access to the growing consumer markets of Asia. This research work will conceptualizes the Gwadar facility as a hub port that will contribute significantly to the revival of Pakistan's economy. China mainly funded and completed the first phase of the Gwadar port in 2005. The Pakistan's vision is for Gwadar to be a link between the East and West that will change the national economy as well as the fate of this region. The port project is still in its infancy and its success depends entirely on policies pursued by Pakistan.

Download or read book The Dragon from the Mountains written by Matthew McCartney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has promised to invest more than $60billion in Pakistan, in roads, rail, energy and a deep-water port at Gwadar. This is unprecedented relative to decades of minimal foreign direct investment (FDI) entering Pakistan. This is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Support for CPEC in Pakistan is widespread and encompasses much of academia, the military, the mainstream political leadership, and civil society. Supporters argue that CPEC offers the potential to transform Pakistan and support rapid, equitable and sustainable economic growth. Detractors of CPEC argue that it will more likely tip Pakistan into a dependent debt-relationship with China and that it will facilitate more Chinese imports into Pakistan posing a threat to Pakistan's industrial base. This book utilises an in-depth understanding of economic change in contemporary China and Pakistan, and economic theory and studies of big infrastructure projects from the contemporary and historical world to evaluate these contrasting views about CPEC.
Download or read book The Sister Ports of Gwadar and Chabahar in a Cooperative and Competitive Environment written by Pervaiz Asghar and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an apolitical and perhaps frictionless world, the ports of Gwadar and Chabahar, located in close proximity to each other, could have been destined to be sister ports. They have after all more in common than informed and informal opinion in Pakistan would lead us to believe. The way our perceptions have been gradually shaped, about gains in Chabahar equating to losses just across the Pak-Iran border in Gwadar, amounts to a zero sum game. After tracing the individual profiles of both Gwadar and Chabahar, a comprehensive comparative study between the two has been undertaken. China's ambitious Belt and Road Initiative and the stringent sanctions imposed on Iran are two factors, one positive, the other negative, which cast a lingering shadow on the growth trajectories of the two ports. The inland and regional connectivities of Pakistan and Iran in general, and Gwadar and Chabahar in particular, have been discussed in great detail as it may well turn out to be the ultimate determinant of the region's future prosperity. Certain traditional and historical hurdles like the varying sizes of railway gauges in different countries/regions and different international transportation and trade conventions being followed by different countries, may however need to be overcome if the dream of seamless regional connectivity is to be converted into reality. Afghanistan, a land-locked country hemmed in from all sides except the north by Pakistan and Iran, and though dependent on them for its transit trade needs, also injects an element of rivalry between the two. The Afghan factor thus features prominently in this study. The general tendency in Pakistan of considering Chabahar as the only competitor to Gwadar has blindsided the country to an extent that it imperils its planning and forecasting process. There are well developed ports in both Pakistan and Iran, which because of their better facilities and better road linkages, possess a natural edge over the ports in question. A detailed survey of regional ports has also been conducted to highlight the nature and extent of the competition on offer. Towards the end, the future prospects of both Gwadar and Chabahar, in terms of factors like Afghan stability, US sanctions on Iran, their impact on Pakistan, Afghan transit trade and their ability to stare down a wide competitive array, have been discussed threadbare. The geo-political impact that the two sister ports can have may well depend on a host of factors, some within the control of their respective countries and some without. How effectively they deal with them may well determine their future. Their individual and collective interests are dependent on how closely they bond with each other.

Download or read book Dispatches from Pakistan written by Madiha R. Tahir and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 9/11, Pakistan has loomed large in the geopolitical imagination of the West. A key ally in the global war on terror, it is also the country in which Osama bin Laden was finally found and killed—and the one that has borne the brunt of much of the ongoing conflict’s collateral damage. Despite its prominence on the front lines and on the front pages, Pakistan has been depicted by Western observers simplistically in terms of its corruption, its fundamentalist Islamic beliefs, and its propensity for violence. Dispatches from Pakistan, in contrast, reveals the complexities, the challenges, and the joys of daily life in the country, from the poetry of Gilgit to the graffiti of Gwadar, from an army barrack in Punjab to the urban politics of Karachi. This timely book brings together journalists, activists, academics, and artists to provide a rich, in-depth, and intriguing portrait of contemporary Pakistani society. Straddling a variety of boundaries—geographic, linguistic, and narrative—Dispatches from Pakistan is a vital attempt to speak for the multitude of Pakistanis who, in the face of seemingly unimaginable hardships, from drone strikes to crushing poverty, remain defiantly optimistic about their future. While engaging in conversations on issues that make the headlines in the West, the contributors also introduce less familiar dimensions of Pakistani life, highlighting the voices of urban poets, rural laborers, industrial workers, and religious-feminist activists—and recovering Pakistani society’s inquilabi (revolutionary) undercurrents and its hopeful overtones.

Download or read book The China Pakistan Axis written by Andrew Small and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Beijing-Islamabad axis plays a central role in Asia's geopolitics, from India's rise to the prospects for a post-American Afghanistan, from the threat of nuclear terrorism to the continent's new map of mines, ports and pipelines. China is Pakistan's great economic hope and its most trusted military partner; Pakistan is the battleground for China's encounters with Islamic militancy and the heart of its efforts to counter-balance the emerging US-India partnership. For decades, each country has been the other's only 'all-weather' friend. Yet the relationship is still little understood. The wildest claims about it are widely believed, while many of its most dramatic developments are hidden from the public eye. This book sets out the recent history of Sino-Pakistani ties and their ramifications for the West, for India, for Afghanistan, and for Asia as a whole. It tells the stories behind some of its most sensitive aspects, including Beijing's support for Pakistan's nuclear program, China's dealings with the Taliban, and the Chinese military's planning for crises in Pakistan. It describes a relationship increasingly shaped by Pakistan's internal strife, and the dilemmas China faces between the need for regional stability and the imperative for strategic competition with India and the USA."--Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: Pakistan is building a port at the southwestern city of Gwadar on the mouth of the oil rich Persian Gulf. It provides an economical route for the flow of Central Asia's natural resources to the world along with easy access to the growing consumer markets of Asia. This thesis conceptualizes the Gwadar facility as a hub port that will contribute significantly to the revival of Pakistan's economy. China mainly funded and completed the first phase of the Gwadar port in 2005. Islamabad is presently negotiating with private investors for the construction of the second phase. This thesis demonstrates the necessity of a white paper promulgating policies to attract foreign investment. The United States and key regional players are likely to view Chinese involvement in the Gwadar port project with suspicion. Any potential Chinese long-term military presence in the region will pose complications for Pakistan. The United States may request military basing rights at the Gwadar port to handle some future turbulent situation in the region. Any such eventuality would require Pakistan to strike a difficult balance between a time-tested friend and an ally. Pakistan must enunciate a policy of non-military use of the Gwadar port for foreign powers to help stimulate Pakistan's economic revival.
