“…The Armed Forces in Pakistan have directly taken control of the country for several decades, enhancing its influence not only over the state but over the political area and policy-making process, too (Rumi, 2015). Analysts claim the most significant structural obstacle to a strategic change in Pakistan's policy towards India is the continuing role of its influential army which dominated public discourse, too (Ahmad & Ebert, 2013). With the military defining India as the threatening 'other' (Ahmed, 2011), a long history of armed conflict and overt military clashes in 1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999, it has become natural for Pakistan to be concerned about India's actions as a long-standing enemy ( Jawed, 2019).…”

This synthesis paper explores the reasons hindering water cooperation between India and Pakistan on the Indus River Basin. It argues that both domestic and international-level elements narrow the size of the ‘win-sets’ which make water cooperation between the two states highly challenging. Not only state actors but also the domestic actors in both India and Pakistan have repeatedly played ‘water games’. Further, due to long-standing geopolitical and territorial conflicts between India and Pakistan, the strategies pursued so far by these states including ‘securitization’, ‘issue-linkage’ and ‘alliance strategies’ as leverage mechanisms, have also contributed to the lack of cooperation in their water realm.

The Objective of this study is to discuss the possibilities of bringing harmony to India and Pakistan's relationship by making India part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. In 2013, the Chinese government introduced its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), under which it was decided that China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) would be constructed from China (Kashgar) to Pakistan (Gwadar). This research focused the response of India to the growing economic cooperation between Pakistan and China; secondly, the changes and continuities in the relationship between India and Pakistan will be discussed, and finally, the impact of the inclusion of India in the CPEC on the conflictual relationship between India and Pakistan would be discussed. It is argued in this research that India and Pakistan's relationship is conflictual because both countries have nothing to lose by engaging in war with each other. This study involves the existing literature review, official documents, Talks shows data and interviews of experts on the topic. However, if both countries develop a dependency on each other through growing trade and economic activity, then the chances of conflict would also be minimized because then both countries have to lose more than gain by engaging in the conflictual activity.
