China, Asia and Regional Connectivity
How can Pakistan position itself within the broader Asian century and benefit from shifting regional dynamics?
This stream explores the rise of China, the changing balance of power in Asia, and their implications for Pakistan. Rather than limiting analysis to CPEC or bilateral relations, it examines China’s historical and civilizational evolution, governance model, technological transformation, regional connectivity initiatives, and evolving role in global affairs. It also studies Asian middle powers, regional cooperation, and emerging economic corridors.
Key themes:
- China Studies
- China-Pakistan relations
- Belt and Road Initiative
- Multipolarity
- Asian middle powers
- Regional integration
- Economic corridors
- Technology and development
