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".

Çin Tipi Küreselleşme: OBOR ve CPEC Örneği (2013-2020)

Öz

Bu çalışmada Çin'in küreselleşme çağındaki yükselişi ve özellikle Tek Kuşak Bir Yol'un “Çin tipi” ile ayırt edici bir küreselleşme biçimini temsil edip etmediği analiz edilmektedir. Neoklasik realist teoriden hareketle Çin'in OBOR politikası gibi küresel yapıların ve yerel faktörlerin dış politika davranışını nasıl etkilediği ve şekillendirdiği de makalede incelenen konular arasında yer almaktadır. Ayrıca, stratejik açıdan en önemli OBOR girişimi olan Çin-Pakistan Ekonomik Koridoru'nun kökenlerini ve gelişimini, Pakistan'ın kalkınma modelini nasıl şekillendirdiğine özel olarak odaklanarak incelemektedir. Bu makale, geniş spektrumda OBOR politikasını ve kesin olarak CPEC'yi teşvik etmek için destekleyici olan küreselleşme faktöründen yararlanmaktadır. Ayrıca dış politikaların küreselleşen ekonomik dünyanın ışığında şekillendiği ve karşılıklı çıkara dayalı kazan-kazan işbirliği kapsamında ortak olma tercihlerinin göz ardı edilemeyeceği bir vakte ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak makale, CPEC planının ve OBOR girişiminin "Çin'in Küreselleşme yolunu" ne kadar temsil ettiğini değerlendirmektedir.
