Abstract
- China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an opportunity that is expected to bring development, growth and prosperity directly for Pakistan and indirectly for neighboring countries. As such, there has been a great deal of discussion about CPEC and many advantages have been highlighted by experts. However, literature on CPEC- as the two sides of the picture has been lacking. Therefore, this study made an attempt to answer; whether CPEC would be an opportunity for a prosperous Pakistan or it would be a mirage of Growth and Development? To answer this, this study compiles CPEC associated virtues and iniquities as per available in literature, the study also considered the logical understanding of authors on the phenomenon of interest. The findings indicate that perks associated with CPEC are far greater than the expected pitfalls and will indeed benefit economic development of Pakistan in the future. To sum up, this study concluded that CPEC will open new horizons of development, economic growth and prosperity for Pakistani nation in years to come and will be the game changer for the country. Also, the limitations of the study have been discussed to direct the future studies on the topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
