PRESENT GLOBAL POLITICAL RE-ALIGNMENT AND POSITIONING PAKISTAN IN IT: THE WAY FORWARD

Published 2023-06-20

Abstract

Neo-realism depicts history as a power based order coming from the great powers of one particular era. End of the Cold War has changed the global political landscape massively by replacing China as the leader of the second world order. Small states like Pakistan have to consistently re-align its foreign outlook accordingly. This article argues adopting ‘Neutral Engagement’ as a way forward for Pakistan vis-à-vis its close and historical relation with both China and USA.
