China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is the 'flagship' project of the Belt andRoad Initiative (BRI). It, in fact, predates the BRI as it was finalized in May 2013, fourmonths before Xi Jinping announced the BRI. To date it remains the biggest project of theBRI in terms of financial outlay and scope. US$ 62 billion worth of energy, infrastructure andindustrial projects have been planned across Pakistan. These are expected to complete by2030. The supporters of the CPEC call it a 'game changer' and its critics label it as the 'New East India Company.' This research study ascertains the reality of the CPEC through aqualitative approach by operationalizing these rhetorical phrases and developing a theory about it.This study also identifies a big opportunity for Pakistan to catch up in the shape of thespecial economic zones being established across the country under the CPEC's industrialcooperation component. To capitalize on this opportunity and informing theory and practicethis study makes use of the popular National Innovation System (NIS) approach fordescribing the NIS of Pakistan and prescribing policy measures for improving its functioning.Finally, this study tests a new theory in the science, technology, and innovationscholarship - the theory of creative insecurity - in Pakistan for proposing revisions to it andidentifying those variables which have hampered the technological progress of Pakistan fromthe perspective of its relative threat balance and not from the perspective of domesticinstitutions and policies.
