Review Quotes:
"Legal Frameworks and Sustainable Development: Bridging the Governance Gap in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor offers a timely and interdisciplinary examination of the environmental challenges surrounding one of the world's most ambitious infrastructure initiatives. Integrating legal analysis with insights from environmental governance, development studies, and policy practice, the book demonstrates how institutional design and regulatory capacity shape sustainability outcomes in CPEC. Its forward-looking focus on CPEC 2.0 and its integrated governance framework make this monograph essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners concerned with sustainable infrastructure and Belt and Road governance."
