The US drone attacks on Pakistani territory, the Abbottabad operation of the US against OBL and the US attack on Pakistani military post ‘Salala’ remain the leading causes of anti-Americanism in Pakistan. The research identifies that regional policies of United States have created a new dimension of the discourse of anti-Americanism in Pakistan and this phenomenon has brought negative impact on Pak-US relations. The super power’s interests in the region are seen with more clarity by using the lens of realist approach. The Neorealist school of thought comprehensibly covers the international political structure and element of anti-Americanism at global and domestic level. The Neoclassical realism explains the influence of the elite class on policy making and domestic structure of the politics. The theories of Superpower Syndrome and the Dilemma of the Superior observe an image problem of the superpower and also identify an element of jealousy against the superpower. The agenda setting role of Pakistan media analyzes the various dimensions of anti- Americanism in Pakistan. The study explains the multiple causes and the impact of anti-Americanism at global, regional and domestic level. The research at length explains the causes and the impact of the discourse that have significance in the Muslim world, particularly in Pakistan. The Pakistani media identify the media perceptions in highlighting the nature of the Pak-US relations and the element of anti-Americanism. The content analyses of the selected media reveals that content were significantly unfavorable for the US image. The survey also provides the result that depicted the new dimensions of anti-Americanism and its impact on Pak-US relations. The study also provides the viable recommendations for better Pak-US relations in future. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Serial Topic Page Certificate of Completion i Declaration ii Dedication iii Supervisor’s Declaration iv Acknowledgement v Abstract vi Table of Contents vii List of Abbreviations and Acronyms xii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Aim and Objectives of the Study 10 1.2 Scope of the Study 10 1.3 Significance of the Study 11 1.4 Justification and likely Benefits of the Research 12 1.5 Research Gaps 13 1.6 What is New in the Study? 14 1.7 Statement of the Problem 15 1.8 Hypothesis 16 1.9 Research Questions 16 1.10 Organization of Study 17 1.11 Methodology 17 1.12 Justifications of the Content Analysis and the Survey 20 1.13 Use of Software 20 1.14 Research Support 20 1.15 Limitation and the Challenges of the Study 20 CHAPTER 2 THE LITERATURE REVIEW 22 2.1 Definition and Explanation of the Discourse 22 2.2 Anti-Americanism: The Construct of the Discourse 24 2.3 Anti-Americanism: The Global Phenomenon 28 2.4 Anti-Americanism in the Muslim World 31 2.5 The Construct of Anti-Americanism in Pakistan 33 2.6 Anti-Americanism and the Media Discourse 47 2.7 New dimensions of anti-Americanism 47 2.8 Conclusion 50 CHAPTER 3 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK 51 3.1 Justifications and Relevance of Theories: Theoretical Construct 52 3.2 Realism 57 3.3 Neorealism 62 3.4 Neoclassical Realism 66 3.5 The Super Power Syndrome and Dilemma of the Superior 67 3.6 Agenda Setting Role of the Media 70 viii CHAPTER 4 EVOLUTION OF PAK-US RELATIONS AND ANTI- 74 AMERICANISM 4.1 Introduction 74 4.2 The Opening Phase: The Choice of Engagement 74 4.3 The Consolidation Phase: The Regional Alliances 76 4.4 Pak-US Relations from 1965 to 1971: Testing and Disappointment 78 4.5 Pak-US Relations from 1972 to 1978: Vulnerabilities and Opportunities 82 4.6 Pak-US Relations from 1979 to 1988: Convergences of Interests 85 4.7 Pak-US Relations from 1988 to 1998: Suspicions and Reliance 87 4.8 Pak-US Relations from 1998 to 2001: Prospects and Pressure 89 4.9 Forced Coalition of WOT: Expectation and Contribution 90 4.10 94 Pak-US Relations Post 2014 and Way Forward 4.11 Conclusion 96 CHAPTER 5 CAUSES AND IMPACT OF ANTI-AMERICANISM ON 97 PAK-US RELATIONS 5.1 Global Context 98 5.2 Regional Context 105 5.3 In the Context of Muslim World 107 5.4 Specific to Pakistani Context 110 5.5 Conclusion 122

  • Old Habits, New Consequences Old Habits, New Khalid Homayun Consequences Nadiri Pakistan’S Posture Toward Afghanistan Since 2001
    Old Habits, New Consequences Old Habits, New Khalid Homayun Consequences Nadiri Pakistan’s Posture toward Afghanistan since 2001 Since the terrorist at- tacks of September 11, 2001, Pakistan has pursued a seemingly incongruous course of action in Afghanistan. It has participated in the U.S. and interna- tional intervention in Afghanistan both by allying itself with the military cam- paign against the Afghan Taliban and al-Qaida and by serving as the primary transit route for international military forces and matériel into Afghanistan.1 At the same time, the Pakistani security establishment has permitted much of the Afghan Taliban’s political leadership and many of its military command- ers to visit or reside in Pakistani urban centers. Why has Pakistan adopted this posture of Afghan Taliban accommodation despite its nominal participa- tion in the Afghanistan intervention and its public commitment to peace and stability in Afghanistan?2 This incongruence is all the more puzzling in light of the expansion of insurgent violence directed against Islamabad by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a coalition of militant organizations that are independent of the Afghan Taliban but that nonetheless possess social and po- litical links with Afghan cadres of the Taliban movement. With violence against Pakistan growing increasingly indiscriminate and costly, it remains un- clear why Islamabad has opted to accommodate the Afghan Taliban through- out the post-2001 period. Despite a considerable body of academic and journalistic literature on Pakistan’s relationship with Afghanistan since 2001, the subject of Pakistani accommodation of the Afghan Taliban remains largely unaddressed. Much of the existing literature identiªes Pakistan’s security competition with India as the exclusive or predominant driver of Pakistani policy vis-à-vis the Afghan Khalid Homayun Nadiri is a Ph.D.
