    7 Security and the Belt and Road: A Critical Analysis of Threats to Chinese Nationals and Businesses in Pakistan Jawad Syed Introduction and Background The China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) comprises multiple infrastructure projects that are presently being implemented in various parts of Pakistan. With a total value exceeding US $60 billion, CPEC is a leading component of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that seeks to integrate countries and regions with China to enhance international trade, socioeconomic connectivity and development (Siddiqui 2017). Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled the idea of a ‘Silk Road Economic Belt’ in a 2013 speech at Kazakhstan’s Nazarbayev University. Designed to stimulate economic development by enhancing regional and global inter-connectivity, BRI aims to integrate the world’s largest land- mass—from Gwadar to Shanghai, from Vladivostok to Lisbon, and from Moscow to Singapore—through a network of hard and soft infrastruc- ture linked to China—from transportation, telecommunication and J.

  • The Social Effects of Drone Warfare on the F.A.T.A. and Wider Pakistan
    THE SOCIAL EFFECTS OF DRONE WARFARE ON THE F.A.T.A. AND WIDER PAKISTAN Stephen Pine, January 2016 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the MA degree in Development and Emergency Practice, Oxford Brookes University The Social Effects of Drone Warfare on the F.A.T.A. and Wider Pakistan Abstract The FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) of Pakistan have a long history of conflict and have been used as something of a proving ground for U.S. drones, operated jointly by the USAF (United States Air Force) and the CIA. This dissertation aims to evaluate the social effects of drone strikes and drone surveillance upon the civilian population of the FATA as well as other regions of Pakistan. Through statistical correlative analysis this dissertation finds that, far from achieving the aim of eliminating militancy within the FATA, drone strikes have acted as a recruitment tool for the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) and have harmed the local civilian population. FATA residents have been caught in a deadly cycle of drone strikes followed by militant revenge-attacks which have often been known to focus on ‘softer’ civilian targets. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data within this dissertation reveals that even the basic functioning of schools within the FATA has been affected, with both teachers and students hesitant to attend for fear of attack. Drone strikes in the region have also led to financial insecurity for families as they have lost their male ‘bread-winners’. This has been compounded by the destruction of family property and assets. Furthermore, local residents have been found to have developed mental health problems and, in many cases, display clear symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

  • Understanding and Responding to Karachi's Drug Menace
    Policy Brief Understanding and Responding to Karachi’s Drug Menace National Initiative against Organized Crime-Pakistan 1. Introduction With a population of over 16 million, Karachi is the largest city of Pakistan and 7th largest city in the world.1 It hosts Pakistan’s major port, which handled a record cargo volume of 52.49 million tons during the year 2016-17,2 including the Afghan transit trade.3 Besides being the provincial capital of Sindh, Karachi is also deemed as financial capital of the country for it contributes the largest chunk of revenue in the national exchequer. However neither the city’s population nor economic opportunities are evenly distributed. According to some accounts, a majority of Karachi’s population lives in urban slums, or katchi abadis. The city has one of the world’s highest population growth rates (it stood at 9 percent in 2010), which is primarily contributed by high rural-to-urban migration.4 This migration is not restricted to the Sindhi hinterland only, but interestingly Pashtuns from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan constitute the second highest ethnic group of the city after mohajirs.5 These immigrants mostly settle in the katchi abadis, dotting all six districts of the city. Every metropolis has an underbelly, hidden by a glitzy infrastructure. The slums exist under the radar with high-density population clustered together. These population clusters tend to be ethnic concentrates, due to the phenomenon of ‘chain migration’.6 This composite of ethnic concentration in unplanned slums restricts access of law enforcement due to loyalty factor as well as difficult urban geography.
