Understanding US-Pakistan Relations
Factors Influencing The Future Of US-Pakistan Relations
PoliTact presents a comprehensive and multidimensional view of the US-Pakistan relations.
As the great power rivalry escalates, the future direction of US-Pakistan ties is primarily dependent on the situation of Afghanistan, US-India defense and economic cooperation, and if US-China ties will move more towards cooperation or competition.
With the war in Ukraine, Pakistan is finding it difficult to maintain balance resulting in the present political and economic uncertainty. The catastrophic floods has further exasperated the prospects.
PoliTact monitors these and other variables to determine the future trajectory of US-Pakistan ties.
