The economic resources and strategic location shape the dynamics of a
region. Jammu & Kashmir’s natural location at the verge of China, South, and
South Central Asia makes it an important terminal and transit route for future
trade and economic activities in the region and beyond. China-Pakistan
Economic Corridor (CPEC) passing through its northern part gives China; the
shortest access to Arabian Sea which has enhances its geo-strategic importance
manifold. Jammu & Kashmir is a land-locked region which reduces its prospects
for international trade; however, it maintains a great potential for tourism and
hydro-electric & solar energy generation. Unfortunately, this region has been a
nucleus of India-Pakistan rivalry since 1947. The regional peace and stability,
therefore, will largely depend on the peaceful resolution of the Kashmir Conflict.
Given the resolution of Kashmir conflict and inclusion of India into the CPEC, the
region will be transformed from Conflict Zone into a Trade Zone. This paper will
focus on the geo-economic importance of Jammu & Kashmir, the role of
geography in shaping the economic potential of the region and Jammu &
Kashmir in contemporary regional and global settings.
