This book analyses the relationship between Pakistan and China in
the post 9/11 period against the backdrop of Pakistan's domestic
politics and proposes that the major source of continuity in the
ties between the two countries is represented by the military. The
evolution and continuity of Sino-Pakistani relations are explored
through three timely case studies: the port of Gwadar, where
Chinese investment well pre-dates the advent of the Belt and Road
Initiative; the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the "flagship
project" of China's global ambitions; and how the relationship
between China and Pakistan has played out in Afghanistan. The book
assesses the extent of military influence in Pakistan's relations
with China throughout the last 20 years in several key
decision-making areas, ranging from internal security to elite
recruitment. By looking at the extent of military prerogatives in
Pakistan's domestic politics, the book reveals how the major source
of continuity in the ties between the two countries was represented
by the role that the military has played overtime. While since the
announcement of the BRI elected representative have gained some
leverage in decision-making, the military has invariably been the
main port of call even under a civilian dispensation. A novel
approach to the study of Sino-Pakistani relations, this book will
be of interest to academics working on South Asian Politics,
Chinese Politics and International Relations, Sino-Pakistani
relations, civil-military ties, and China's role in Asia including
the One Belt, One Road initiative.
