中國的一帶一路倡議自提出至今備受批判，而現今對其學術研究亦分為二派，對此一倡議持正反評價。本研究透過對巴基斯坦及印度二件案例研究，以國際建制理論為框架探討中國一帶一路倡議。巴基斯坦為中國於一帶一路倡議中注資最多的國家，而印度對此倡議一直持保留態度；在比較此二案例時，一帶一路倡議作為中國的政治工具的可能性，及此二具競爭關係的南亞國家對一帶一路倡議的不同態度，皆為重要考量。此外，印度對一帶一路倡議的顧慮更涉及國家主權、領土完整及印度洋議題，本文也將此納入分析。本研究聚焦於中國的一帶一路是經濟或政治取向此一問提出回應，並提出歸結：考量中國在南亞地區的野心，在一帶一路下的經濟合作與經常被強調之「互利共贏」背後，中國的政治利益與倡議參與國的經濟利益相比之下，則更顯重要。

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has brought along various criticisms since it was announced. In this regard, the current academic literature splits into two sides as some find the initiative positive, while others find it negative. This thesis examines BRI under the framework of International Regime Theory by analyzing two cases: Pakistan and India. In this study, Pakistan, in which China has invested the most in BRI, and India, which is reluctant to be a part of the Initiative, are compared. In order to conduct the comparison, the potential of the initiative to be a political instrument of China and the different attitudes of the two competing South Asian countries to BRI are taken into consideration. In addition, India’s concerns towards the Initiative particularly about her territorial integrity and sovereignty, as well as that of in the Indian Ocean, are addressed. The answer to the question of whether One Belt One Road is economic or rather political is sought. As a result of this study, it is concluded that given China’s ambitions in the South Asia Region, under the economic cooperation within BRI and the frequently voiced “win-win situation” lies China's political gains rather than economic gains of participant countries to the Initiative.
