Foreign policy, armed forces and doctrine of necessity. As part of checks and balance in parliamentary form of democracy, armed forces, Para-military forces, federal bureaucracy including police should be kept under president and governors. PM and CM should be given control of provincial security forces, provincial bureaucracy, civil peacekeeping forces like scouts and fire brigade. Only, state gets to decide who runs the country.
Thus, Pakistan needs to change its foreign policy to protect national interests, uphold international laws and human rights so that it can regain its true stature in international community. The internal dynamics of a state eventually manifest in external terms and therefore a book on Pakistan would be incomplete without a look at its foreign policy. To that extent, Pakistan’f foreign policy has relevance from an India centric perspective. And so one chapter deals with the Kashmir centric orientation to foreign policy—the core issue. The next examines Pakistan’s relations with Nepal and how it impinges onIndian security interests. It forms part of Islamabad’s foreign policy to develop close ties with the smaller states in South Asia to counter New Delhi’s pre-eminence in the region.
