Abstract
The geostrategic and geopolitical significance of the South
Asian region has enhanced over the period of time. The
positioning of Pakistan in this region has brought it into the
limelight especially because of bearing Gwadar, a deep seaport
in its domain. China and Pakistan ‘all weathered friends’
strengthened their kinship ties by entering into a billion-dollar
project of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which
comprise of various developmental projects related to the
energy sector and improvement of infrastructure in Pakistan.
Alike CPEC there are other two economic corridors, the
Panama Canal and Suez Canal projects which have brought
various developmental reforms in their respective regions. This
qualitative study on basis of empirical evidence evaluates the
literature available to anticipate the improvements CPEC can
bring in the South Asian Region in comparison with the
improvements brought by corridor projects of Panama Canal
and Suez Canal.
