The purpose of this paper is to analyze the geo-ethnic dynamics of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in One Belt One Road (OBOR) Project. Generally, CPEC and OBOR are considered the projects of economic connectivity, but, practically and broadly, any idea of communication, transportation and connectivity promotes a sort of cultural, religious, racial and politico-institutional exchanges which led to the development of a more multi-cultural compound of power mechanism working for the development of human civilization.1 However, the ethno-regional dynamics has always worked potentially behind the success of a trade, exchange routes and power dynamics of centrality. The racially and culturally introvert community has always denied an access to any sort of passages to external elements from their regions. Contrarily, urbanized communities closely associated with trade and commerce along with political elites has always tried to find out peaceful and easy to travel route.2 In this context the paper focuses to analyze the geo-ethnic dynamics of the CPEC region. This analysis can help understand the nature of CPEC’s route determination and future cultural and religious linkages associated with the mechanism of global power. China Pakistan Economic Corridor is going to be considered as a ‘game changer’ the new global politics of economics, promising a lot of communication, trade, commerce as well as cultural and ethnic exchanges. This mechanism shall work within the paradigm of ethno-cultural regionality, if not on the superior politics of colonial power. However, such paradigms have always created a conflict between colonial and colonized people. To avoid such tensions and conflicts, an understanding of ethno-cultural and geo-ethnic dynamics of CPEC is necessary which is not yet studied potentially. So the paper explores the geo-ethnic dynamics of CPEC in this context. For that paper is constructed not only on historical sources but also on the empirical and current development and commercial data produced by policy institution.
