Game Plan Pakistan Economic Gateway
By Shahryar khan Niazi

Shahryar Niazi-Khan brings all his diplomatic and political expertise and experience to this work to draw out significant geo-strategic insights on the potential future of Pakistan, why the country is essential to regional stability, and the risks if ignored.and and With increasing emphasis and attention in the twenty-first century shifting eastwards, the author highlights the unique and indeed pivotal role to be played by the Pakistan Economic Gateway in the West-East dynamic. Such a gateway could provide a new economic impetus and potential for Pakistan-India relations similar to what helped to create a new era in Europe in the 1950s, especially between France and Germany. It could also prevent this new emerging order from drifting into competing blocs if modelled correctly. It could foster greater balance, understanding, and thus stability; the latter is crucial for developing interdependent supply chains.and In an era where attention is drawn to many urgent crises, this book reminds Western policymakers about the importance of Pakistan and its potential in the broader region. It is a reminder that as power and influence shift eastwards, the global balance, whether economic, political or social, needs more centres of influence and stability committed to maintaining peace and stability. The Pakistan Economic Gateway, similar to the stability generated by the European Coal and Steel Community in the 1950s, has great potential to provide regional and, thus, global stability and peace in the twenty-first century. The author has produced an insightful and significant analysis of the potential impact on Pakistan, the region and the world.and Professor Francis Campbell, Former British Ambassador and Head of Policy at the Foreign andamp; Commonwealth Office
