More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The United States strategy for Afghanistan, Pakistan and the South Asian region at large has seen significant improvements under the new administration. Yet, some aspects of the strategy require further refinement. The regional context of the strategy needs to comprehensively take into account the competing national interests and resultant discords that vitiate the regional milieu. As a corollary, the overarching strategic concept needs to assuage regional frictions which impinge on the success of United States / coalition forces in Afghanistan and undermine Pakistan s efforts against the forces of terror. The strategy must also epitomize respect for the core national interests and sensitivities of the regional partners, in particular Pakistan; thereby, eliminating inherent risks of overstepping the red lines in the operational realm. It is in this essential strategic context that this paper seeks to delineate the way forward, based on a strategic approach that cultivates meaningful partnerships and fosters unrestrained cooperation among all stakeholders in general and between the United States and Pakistan in particular; with a view to laying the foundations of enduring and irreversible peace in the region
