"Its main strengths are, first, that it develops logically a new conceptual framework for understanding ECs with a comprehensive and in-depth case analysis of the CPEC, especially from a social science perspective. Second, the book fills a major research gap in relation to the BRI, the ECs and South Asian integration into global geopolitics. ... Scholars and students will find this volume really useful."
