The post Covid-19 era steer towards stakeholder thinking, which demands to look for sustainable solutions in terms of other epidemics and food security is one of the most notable for the developing world. In South Asia, China Pakistan Economic Corridor could be an avenue for multi-layered socio-economic assistance where Pakistan can seek solution for one epidemic (food security) while engaged with the effects of pandemic through studying all the stakeholders. This could be a roadmap for the west-east or developed-underdeveloped countries reliance on one another for food security through economic corridor alike settings. Academically, it has been projected by the plethora of research that holistically and inclusively, stakeholder analysis is lacking in the available reservoir of research. Methodologically, the stakeholder analysis was performed in three layers-identification, investigation through social networks, and communication by prioritization matrix. The findings suggested that apart from stakeholders' differences in regard to interest, influence and knowledge, all of them agreed with the argument that China Pakistan Economic Corridor has enviably and irrefutably positive effects on food security. The policy implications project the need for integrated reports of various ministries to be unidirectional for having synergical effect and taking all the stakeholders into consideration as leaving any group behind will repeat the past results.
在后新冠时代,利益相关者思维成为主流,这就要求发展中国家寻找其他流行病和食品安全方面的可持续解决方案。在南亚,中巴经济走廊(China Pakistan Economic Corridor)可能是一个多层次社会经济援助的途径,巴基斯坦可以通过研究所有利益相关者,在解决一个流行病(食品安全)的同时,应对大流行病的影响。这可能是一个通过经济走廊等类似设置,实现东西方或发达国家与发展中国家相互依赖以确保食品安全的路线图。从学术角度来看,大量研究表明,利益相关者分析在现有的研究储备中存在整体性和包容性的缺失。从方法论的角度来看,利益相关者分析分为三个层次——识别、通过社会网络进行调查以及通过优先级矩阵进行沟通。研究结果表明,除了利益相关者在利益、影响力和知识方面的差异外,他们都同意一个观点,即中巴经济走廊对食品安全有着令人羡慕和无可争议的积极影响。政策影响预测,各部委需要单向整合报告,以产生协同效应,并考虑到所有利益相关者,因为留下任何一个群体都将重复过去的结果。
