| Summary/Abstract |
For three decades now the country has been struggling for survival amid a never-ending armed conflict that makes a concerted foreign policy course impossible. This is fraught with a loss of statehood and is responsible for Afghanistan's role and place in the international relations system.

| Summary/Abstract |
There is potent irony in the fact that 68,000 American troops, with 30,000 more to come, are fighting and dying in Afghanistan, a landlocked country at the crossroads of South and Central Asia from which the United States worked so vigorously to oust the Soviets during the Cold War, and in which a predominant majority of those the United States now confronts have views and values akin to those it supported during that prior conflict. But then history in Afghanistan is ironic at its core and has a way of mocking the best laid of plans.

| Summary/Abstract |
Instead of continuing their endless battling, the United States and Pakistan should acknowledge that their interests simply do not converge enough to make them strong partners. Giving up the fiction of an alliance would free up Washington to explore new ways of achieving its goals in South Asia. And it would allow Islamabad to finally pursue its regional ambitions -- which would either succeed once and for all or, more likely, teach Pakistani officials the limitations of their country's power.

| Summary/Abstract |
The politics of the Southern Asia region is mainly influenced by
the political developments that take place in the two neighbouring
Southern Asian countries, India and Pakistan. However, IndoPak relations have never been stable; rather, they have fluctuated
from acrimony to cooperation and vice versa. Since the partition of
the Indian subcontinent, relations between the two neighbouring
countries have been defined by a host of post-partition political
problems and crises like the border dispute, Kashmir dispute, water
dispute, etc. The emergence of the Cold War politics in the Indian
subcontinent further aggravated the acrimonious relations between
India and Pakistan. The Pakistani leaders have never reconciled the
grievances of the post-partition political problems, especially on
the Kashmir issue; thus, they consider India as the 'biggest threat'
to their existence.

Because of this fear psychosis, they joined hands
with the US-led Western military alliance Southeast Asia Treaty
Organisation (SEATO) and Central Treaty Organisation (CENTO),
and manoeuvred Pakistan's policy towards the Muslim countries
to develop 'power parity' with India, if not in economic terms, then
through military technology

| Summary/Abstract |
Asif Ali Zardari is holding charge of the PPP as a regent, till its chairperson, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, is able to take the party's reins on the completion of his studies. One of the most critical questions which will have a serious bearing on Pakistan's future is: What will be the condition of the PPP when the interim period comes to an end?
The question has assumed added importance in view of the serious reverse the PPP has suffered by its stubbornly unwise policy on the judges' restoration and its utterly indefensible attempts to form government in the Punjab in a coalition with the PML-Q. The federal government's apparently vindictive and churlish reaction to Nawaz Sharif's victory parade of March 15-16 is making the PPP's position more and more difficult.

| Summary/Abstract |
Following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in December 2007 and national elections in February 2008, Pakistan struggled to distance itself from the discredited military regime of President (General) Pervez Musharraf. Competition between the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), once led by Benazir Bhutto and subsequently by her widower Asif Ali Zardari, and the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) led by Nawaz Sharif, however, threatened to thwart the cause of political stability in Pakistan.
