Summary/Abstract |
The Af-Pak strategy formulated by the Obama administration is characterized by localization, Integration, demilitarization and polygonization. It is a rational strategy, but it has three defects: the first is that strong pressure imposed on Pakistan may make the country more unstable and increase the unrest in surrounding areas; the second is that demilitarization will be unable to produce results or to meet the political need of the Obama administration; the third is that its geopolitical dimension may weaken other countries' cooperation and support. China generally supports the strategy, but still has many misgivings.
