China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC): India's Concern
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is heralded as a game changer for the geopolitics and economic integration of South Asia, is an important part of China's bigger regional initiative namely ‘One Belt, One Road’ (OBOR). Pakistan and China formalized plans for the CPEC in April 2015 and subsequently China claims that CPEC will not only advance economic integration but also ensures mutual benefit or win-win cooperation with its partners as well as regional states.However, it is pertinent to mention that perception of South Asian countries and other international actor regarding the efficacy of CPEC is divided. While some perceive CPEC as an opening for development and prosperity and others look at it as a threat to peace and security. Therefore, CPEC faces considerable challenges and opposition at regional and international level.Among South Asian countries India, which has explicitly opposed CPEC since its inception, is considered as the strong opponent of CPEC. The paper seeks to explain and analyse India's threat perception vis-à-vis CPEC.
