Prospects for Afghanistan and Pakistan and Foreign Policy

Introduction

Major internal conflict has plagued Afghanistan for four decades. The U.S., for its part, has conducted military operations in the country nearly continuously since 9/11. Today, war with the Taliban persists, and tensions between the U.S. and Pakistan have gradually deteriorated. At the end of his time in office, President Obama limited further withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The incoming administration has a choice: will it maintain the status quo, completely reverse the Obama administration drawdown or withdraw completely? Does the U.S. face a no win situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan?[1]

Literature Review on Pakistan

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Aamir Saeed and Ghalib Ata provide the following summary about the topic of Pakistan: This entry attempts to throw light on the policy making and implementation process in Pakistan. In doing so, it analyzes the peculiar context of the country including colonial history, geography, and identity. It explains the role of four institutions constituting the state in Pakistan: the legislature, public administration, the judiciary, and the military. It identifies that public policy and administration in Pakistan is strongly influenced by the governance model, objectives, traditions, and civil and military bureaucracies—the heritage of British colonialism. In a global capitalist world, policy making has largely ignored the needs of the masses, and is directed at serving the interests of the ruling elite and of foreign powers; while policy implementation is carried out by civil bureaucracy that is designed to rule the masses and not to serve them.
