China's Fontier: Institutions, Infrastructure and Landscapes in Pakistan's CPEC
As the current centrepiece of the Chinese One Belt-One Road (OBOR) initiative, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor consists of a $46 billon dollar (and growing) commitment to upgrade and build new infrastructure, energy projects and industrial zones across the entire length of Pakistan.
