The book gives an excellent insight about Geo-Political insight about the Gwadar Port and its value as geostrategic manoeuvre space in Indo Pacific Region. The author has presented various dimensions of Gwadar's linkages with Eurasia, Africa and Australia. He has given new ideas about an alternate for KKH, the involvement of Germany in opportunities emerging out of Gwadar and Blue Economy. It was nice to read prudent and pragmatic recommendations. I recommend everyone to read it.

I have read the book; it presents a professional view of the global value of Gwadar. It was interesting to read the role played by the Pakistan Army in the development of Baluchistan Province; information about Baluchistan has shunned away many propaganda vibes. I recommend all readers to read this book.

Dr Hassan has marvellously captured the genesis of Gwadar's development and it's pivotal role of promising geo-strategic and geo-economic structure of the region. The theme of the book is aptly built on the fact that importance of SLOCs is here to stay and Gwadar's strategic value is destined to multiply by the day. Pak Army's commendable role in the progress of Balochistan amid hostile environment has also been vividly elaborated. The book is a must read for all those interested in geo strategic and geo economic chessboard of one of world's critically important regions.
