Being the biggest venture in the bilateral ties of China-Pakistan, the project faces certain undermining factors. The research explores the lingering security concerns that surfaced due to the destabilizing and separatist efforts of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and Baloch Liberation Front (BLF). It also elaborates the Chinese concerns and Pakistan efforts to address these concerns while assuming the hypothesis that a secure and stable environment is necessary to reap the fruits of this mega project. The work also answers some innovative questions thus helpful for the students of Economics, Pakistan history, politics, Internal Relations, Foreign Policy and for those who intend to read about China-Pakistan and their joint ventures as CPEC. The main objective of the study to empirically analyses the response of Baloch community. Graphical and empirical methods have been adopted to describe and analyze the facts and figures related to the topic. The results clearly indicate that CPEC will face resistance from people of Balochistan, which will negatively affect the prospects of CPEC.

Dutton Series Overview This China Maritime Report on Gwadar is the second in a series of case studies on China’s Indian Ocean “strategic strongpoints” (战略支点). People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility.

  • Strategic Salience of the Gwadar Port an Analytical Study
    Strategic Salience of the Gwadar Port An Analytical Study Sindhu Dinesh* Gwadar Port has gained currency in the light of recent international developments that are increasingly focused on maritime-related economic activities. It has become an important reference point for people discussing the geopolitics and geo-economics of the South Asian region. The article explores in detail the strategic salience of Gwadar against the backdrop of the ongoing Baloch insurgency, the current activities being undertaken at Gwadar, the strategic outlook of Pakistan and China on the port and the implications it holds for China–Pakistan ties. Gwadar Port holds strategic significance due to its prime location and the massive investments by China to provide world-class facilities of docking at the port. The port has increased the existing economic and strategic interdependence between China and Pakistan. INTRODUCTION The twenty-first century has been characterised by several countries refocusing to invest more and expand in the maritime domain. Presently, naval activities, especially among the developing nations, have assumed accelerated economic and political significance. In essence, ‘port’ in a country’s economy is the bridge between its land and sea economic activities. It occupies a crucial position and its utilisation influences the * The author is a Postgraduate Research Scholar from the Department of Geopolitics and International Relations, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal.

In the years 2012-13 we have seen the prices of steel / diesel / bitumen go up considerably. Analysts are still uncertain with the prices in the year 2014. For the years 2012-13, we have carried out a general revision of all prices up to April 2014 in consultation with leading manufacturers, supplier, and specialist contractors. These rates have been developed using NHA Rate Analysis formulae developed for previous CSRs with slight improvements wherever necessary. The variation in the proposed rates is anticipated in certain cases, which may be due to varying degrees / levels of productivity and price differences of various inputs at the regional level. The rates, prices and outputs included in the resources and unit cost calculations, including allowances for wastage, normal productivity and efficiency are based on roadwork and bridge projects being carried out by NHA.
