| Summary/Abstract |
Despite a positive economic outlook in 2014, political tensions and income
inequalities continue to challenge the country’s democratic image. Power has been
concentrated in the executive, state violence has increased, and there is pressure to
improve working conditions and infrastructure in the garment sector. For the reelected
Awami League government, addressing employment issues is essential, given
its focus on attracting foreign investment.

| Summary/Abstract |
Though India's SEZ policy owes its conceptual base to the successful Chinese SEZs' experience, hardly any attempt has been made to explain what made the latter so successful. In this article, we trace this phenomenal success to the well articulated and executed SEZ policy in China. Apart from this, the success of SEZs in China is also attributed to the various supporting mechanisms, both internal and external factors. On the basis of this analysis of different factors, we argue that SEZs cannot be expected to deliver optimum performance under ceteris paribus conditions; rather it requires careful identification and implementation of supportive factors, which may vary between countries, SEZs and/or between sectors within a given economy.

The serenity of global peace and development can only be roped in via the unflinching commitment towards the positives of Economic Diplomacy and on the contrary the global governance should check and mitigate the concerns and devils of Economic diplomacy.

| Summary/Abstract |
As part of the enormous new Silk Route project or the One Belt One Road initiative, the governments of Pakistan and China developed a proposal in the mid-2000s to create an economic corridor from Kashgar, Xinjiang, in China to Gwadar, Balochistan, in Pakistan with an aim to promote national, bilateral, and international economic integration. Essentially driven to improve regional and global trade networks, the resulting China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was formally launched in 2013 with the initially planned portfolio of infrastructure, energy, and economic projects worth around $64 billion. Amidst an optimism in Pakistan of CPEC having a transformational effect on the economy, there is an extensive public debate in Pakistan about the potential impact of CPEC on the already troubled economic and political relations between and within the provinces of Pakistan. This debate is further intensified by the continued representation of CPEC by the country’s political leadership as an overarching programme of economic cooperation, not just a ‘game-changer’ but a ‘fate-changer’, with the potential to address virtually all key longstanding developmental challenges of the country. The principal components of CPEC are Gwadar deep-sea port, Gwadar-Kashgar road and rail infrastructure—that passes through the width and breadth of Balochistan—and establishment of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). It is, therefore, important to analyse the implications of CPEC-related developments on the politics and economics of Balochistan. The SEZs are aiming to boost industrial growth and spur trade in the country and numerous SEZs are planned for Balochistan. The rationale behind these SEZs in Balochistan and elsewhere is to initiate a process of industrialisation. This paper will present how SEZs can potentially affect the economy of Balochistan. While politically Balochistan has been a troubled province with a long history of the estranged relationship with the federation, a relevant point worth investigating is whether CPEC will be a harbinger of a greater economic change (or otherwise) in the province and improve (or further deteriorate) the already tense political situation of Balochistan. The paper offers a contribution in analysing how CPEC can be instrumental in changing the political and economic landscape of Balochistan and how the economic activity proposed under CPEC within the highly volatile political landscape bring any meaningful change to the province.

| Summary/Abstract |
By exploring the role of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in China's integration with the world economy, we also investigate the underlying challenges faced by the economy. This analysis suggests that SEZs enabled the Chinese economy to trigger its growth standards and to achieve its ambition of integrating with the world economy without compromising its political ideology. This transformation, however, has been accompanied by a few challenges of late that have been posing obstacles to the broader process of development. We argue that the experience of Chinese SEZs provides a number of policy directions for other economies, which may be followed with discrimination.
