Download or read book Karakoram written by Siân Pritchard-Jones and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Karakoram, is the story of three great empires that eventually clashed amongst the most rugged mountains of the world - the Pamirs, the Tien Shan and the Karakoram. The Russian 'bear', the British 'lion' and the Chinese 'dragon' were the three great adversarial animals that dominated Asia in the late 19th century. This was the Great Game - a chess game of historical intrigue. The modern Karakoram Highway between Pakistan and China is the final twist in the story - the highway of history. For today's travellers, the region is a vast melting pot of people, cultures, scenery and excitement. But what will be the scenario for the travellers of tomorrow? Will they be forced by security issues and deadly bureaucracy to see the world only through computerised screen images divorced from reality? Or will they too be able to journey across lands of different cultures, admiring the jewels of nature? Perhaps, despite the contradictions of modern mankind, they will experience the touches of kindness that people everywhere are still eager to show to a stranger. This book tells more than a story; it is an historical amalgam laced with travellers' tales of Asia over 40 years, illustrated with a vivid collection of nearly 200 photographs.

Download or read book Nation, Territory, and Globalization in Pakistan written by Chad Haines and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Karakoram Highway was constructed by the Pakistani state in the 1970s as a major development project that furthered the national interest and solidified state control over the disputed region of northern Pakistan. Focusing on this highway, this book provides a unique analysis of the links between space, travel and history in the formation of the Pakistani nation-state. The book discusses how the highway was a symbol for an imagined national identity, and goes on to look at how it offered Pakistan a pre-Partition history and a fixed territory, by providing a historical link to the Silk Route and a contemporary geographical linkage to Central Asia. Examining the influence of the diverse travellers along the Karakoram Highway, the book shows how global flows of development, trade, labour, and tourism have remapped the Pakistani nation-state and reshaped the local. Providing a fresh perspective on the nation-state of Pakistan, this book is an important contribution to studies on South Asian History, Anthropology, Politics and Geography.

Download or read book The Silk Road - China and the Karakorum Highway written by Jonathan Tucker and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated book is intended as background reading for travelers on one of the most popular sections of the Silk Road—the Xian to Kashgar route through China, linking with the Karakorum Highway through Northern Pakistan. The ancient trade routes between Europe and the Orient, specifically between Rome and the old Chinese capital of Xian, endured for almost two thousand years. Along with trade goods came new ideas—religions, medical knowledge, and scientific and technological innovations passed in both directions and the Silk Road became a great network of veins and arteries, carrying the life-blood of nations across the known world. The Silk Road is a concise, more portable version of Jonathan Tucker’s acclaimed book, The Silk Road: Art and History, acclaimed by the Literary Review as “a beautiful book . . . the most informative work on the subject.” Replete with fascinating details of the main historical sites, works of art, accounts by ancient and modern travelers, legends, poetry and other literary references, photographs, maps, and site-plans, this will be essential reading for all those interested in or planning to travel the ancient Silk Road.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Beijing-Islamabad axis plays a central role in Asia's geopolitics, from India's rise to the prospects for a post-American Afghanistan, from the threat of nuclear terrorism to the continent's new map of mines, ports and pipelines. China is Pakistan's great economic hope and its most trusted military partner; Pakistan is the battleground for China's encounters with Islamic militancy and the heart of its efforts to counter-balance the emerging US-India partnership. For decades, each country has been the other's only 'all-weather' friend. Yet the relationship is still little understood. The wildest claims about it are widely believed, while many of its most dramatic developments are hidden from the public eye. This book sets out the recent history of Sino-Pakistani ties and their ramifications for the West, for India, for Afghanistan, and for Asia as a whole. It tells the stories behind some of its most sensitive aspects, including Beijing's support for Pakistan's nuclear program, China's dealings with the Taliban, and the Chinese military's planning for crises in Pakistan. It describes a relationship increasingly shaped by Pakistan's internal strife, and the dilemmas China faces between the need for regional stability and the imperative for strategic competition with India and the USA."--Amazon.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prominent authority on China’s Belt and Road Initiative reveals the global risks lurking within Beijing’s project of the century China’s Belt and Road Initiative is the world’s most ambitious and misunderstood geoeconomic vision. To carry out President Xi Jinping’s flagship foreign-policy effort, China promises to spend over one trillion dollars for new ports, railways, fiber-optic cables, power plants, and other connections. The plan touches more than one hundred and thirty countries and has expanded into the Arctic, cyberspace, and even outer space. Beijing says that it is promoting global development, but Washington warns that it is charting a path to global dominance. Taking readers on a journey to China’s projects in Asia, Europe, and Africa, Jonathan E. Hillman reveals how this grand vision is unfolding. As China pushes beyond its borders and deep into dangerous territory, it is repeating the mistakes of the great powers that came before it, Hillman argues. If China succeeds, it will remake the world and place itself at the center of everything. But Xi may be overreaching: all roads do not yet lead to Beijing.
