Globalization with Chinese Characteristics: A Case Study of OBOR and CPEC (2013-2020)

Abstract

In this study, China's rise in the age of globalization and especially whether One Belt One Road represents a distinctive form of globalization with "Chinese characteristics" is analyzed. Based on the neoclassical realist theory, how global structures and local factors affect and shape foreign policy behavior, such as China's OBOR policy, is among the topics explored in the article. It also examines the origins and development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the most strategically important OBOR initiative, with a special focus on how Pakistan has shaped its development model. This paper draws upon the globalization factor, which is being supportive to promote OBOR policy in broad-spectrum and CPEC in precise. It also shows the need of hour where foreign policies are shaped in the light of globalized economic world and choices of becoming partners under the win-win cooperation due to mutual interest cannot be overlooked. Ultimately, the article evaluates how much the CPEC plan and the OBOR initiative represent "China's way of Globalization".
