“…However, China initially vetoed Indian efforts to declare the Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar as a global terrorist in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), reflecting its all-weather friendship with Pakistan (Nazar, 2016). Later, China agreed regarding Masood Azhar under a UNSC proposal moved by the UK, France and the USA (Ahmad & Singh, 2017; Haidar, 2017). The US State Department also announced that the USA will consider Hizbul Mujahideen as a global terrorist group, based in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).…”

Strengthened Indo-US proximity has become a notable factor in the regional security architecture of the Indo-Pacific region, and also it raises ongoing concerns about its robustness. This article analyses the geostrategic, geoeconomic, security-related and defence-connected Indo-US relations in the region over the last two decades, highlighting the growing multidimensional convergence of US and Indian interests in the Indo-Pacific regional security architecture.

“…Islamabad feels this is the only way to ensure some form of military parity". 1 Against this backdrop, the moot question is, has this policy remained successful? As per the opinion of Pervez (2016), "Pakistan's 'thousand cuts' policy is in shambles".…”

“…In the backdrop of the Indian Parliament Attack (2001), the military of both countries had stood eyeball to eyeball. Mumbai was another such attack (Ahmad and Singh 2017). Kashmir has remained one of the major targets for terror attacks (Srinagar, Budgam, Jammu, Uri), whereby the bilateral relations reached abysmally low.…”

Terrorism has emerged as one of the major challenges for the Eurasian regional peace, security, and cooperation. Keeping these challenges in perspective, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was established to eliminate the menace of terrorism, fundamentalism, and secessionism. Against this background, the main objectives of this paper are to examine how terrorism emerged as a major determining factor in the Indo-Pak relations and how the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), was failed to play its effective role in the Indo-Pak conflict given the Pulwama terror attack. For this research, descriptive and analytical methods were used and the data was collected from secondary sources. The major findings of this article are that terrorism has emerged as one of the major determinants of Indo-Pak relations and the same has become a major challenge for the SCO to resolve the issue. Against the background of terror attacks, it was anticipated that the SCO would play a crucial role to pacify the situation. However, the role played by the SCO in this situation proved marked as a Whack-a-Mole.

“…While the Chinese and Pakistani perspectives project an overwhelming positive and productive character of CPEC, the Indian scholarship has largely approached the Corridor in negative terms by raising territorial concerns regarding Gilgit-Baltistan which is bracketed with Jammu & Kashmir that India, illegally, claims as its formal part constitutionally (Ahmad and Singh, 2017). In addition, CPEC is seen as a China-Pakistan ploy to contain India strategically.…”

Will Change in Government Affect China–Pakistan Economic Corridor? The BRI, CPEC and the Khan Government: An Analysis

China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was formally launched in 2015. From the very outset, skeptics raised doubts about its sustainability and meaningfulness for particularly Pakistani society, economy and the state. Nevertheless, the Sharif government in strategic interaction with its Chinese counterpart ably thwarted such controversies and ensured execution of the CPEC projects in different parts of Pakistan. Though within Pakistan, political opposition and certain nationalist political and social forces voiced their related concerns, for instance, to the “route” alignment, the federal and Punjab government led by the Sharifs held ground and accorded priority to sustain the Corridor by engaging local and provincial stakeholders. However, this was not the case with the Khan government whose commerce advisor doubted the negotiated terms and conditions of the CPEC and, therefore, called for its revision to provide a fair deal to the Pakistani side. Why did the Khan government adopt such a policy? How does such a discourse affect China–Pakistan relation in general and CPEC and the Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) in particular? What made the Khan government correct its path ultimately? In other words, does change in government impact CPEC negatively? This paper attempts to address these questions empirically.
