| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The recent elections in Pakistan, with Imran Khan installed as Prime Minister, is in the backdrop of increased internal strife, a looming economic crisis that may force Pakistan seek bailout package from the IMF for the 13th time, continuing insurgency in Balochistan, public realisation of China’s looming debt trap and discontent over lack of governance. With the Pakistani military directly and indirectly ruling for 30 and 40 years respectively of Pakistan history, questions arise whether Imran Khan really wants peace given his own radical background, what freedom of action will he be permitted by the military and will détente be temporary till Pakistan tides over the immediate economic crisis? |
