Abstract

The recent spate in terrorism by TTP and BLA has not only created a volatile situation in the country but also impeded the promises of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Phase II. The complicated relationship between security challenges and the successful implementation of Phase II is extensively explained in the paper. Important findings reflected that recent terrorist incidents directly reduce investor confidence and the progress of development projects. The research concludes with a comprehensive approach, containing a revised security framework including local community participation, which is vital to mitigate these challenges and ensure CPEC Phase II progress.
