Synopsis: This book analyses Pakistan’s foreign policy and external relations with a focus on contemporary developments. It is structured in two parts – Foundation and Operationalization. The foundation provides a broad overview of Pakistan’s foreign policy and addresses specific foreign policy topics from a theoretical perspective such as foreign policy under Imran Khan, Pakistan’s middle power status and the role of military in influencing foreign policy decision making. The second part covers Pakistan’s relations with its all four neighbors (India, China, Afghanistan and Iran), with the US, Russia and EU. Based on in-depth interviews with Pakistani scholars, politicians and diplomats, the book offers a timely perspective on Pakistan’s foreign policy. The book will be of interest to academics working on Pakistan, South Asian Politics, Security and Conflict Studies, International Relations and Foreign Policy and Asian Studies.
