Çin-Pakistan ekonomik koridorunun politikaları

China's presence in the Global South has increased dramatically in a span of a decade. The discourse of mutual benefit and nonintervention has found huge attraction in the developing world that is now facing the consequences of Western interventions. However, to what extent does Chinese engagement in the developing world stays true to these principles needs to be evaluated in terms of its effects on the political economic structures of the host nations. To this end, I propose a framework to understand the implications of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor on the political economic structure of Pakistan. This thesis begins with an investigation of the history and dynamics of China's development and internationalization, the political economic structure of Pakistan (specifically in the areas of industrialization and infrastructure development), and different forms of foreign assistance that Pakistan has received over the years. This thesis then analyzes how China and CPEC interacts with the political economic realities of Pakistan. Firstly, the study Pakistan's history of regionalism shows that over the years, developmental mission of the central state has created deep-seated regionalism in Pakistan. My study shows that CPEC is deepening such cleavages. The regionalist forces have opposed the project in two broad ways: through demanding greater share in the project or through completely rejecting the interventions. Secondly, I analyze the lop-sided civil-military relations in Pakistan and conclude that Chinese engagement in Pakistan is leading to a tighter control of military over civilian and economic matters relating to CPEC. Lastly, based on the case study of Sahiwal Power Project, and my historical analysis of state-labor relations in Pakistan and China's industrialization model, I conclude that CPEC means little for the working class of Pakistan. The informalized and unskilled labor workforce of Pakistan has found its place only in the construction stages of the CPEC projects.
