Funded with generous support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the project convened an international teamT of experts to author the essays presented in this report. These essays were informed by a series of workshops and briefings held in New Delhi and Washington, D.C., in partnership with the Observer Research Foundation. Project Rationale Pakistan today represents one of the world’s most significant and vexing geopolitical challenges. Its geographic position at the nexus of the Middle East and Asia, its nuclear stockpile, and the strength and determination of domestic extremist groups make Pakistan’s future course a top geopolitical priority for the United States. Looming instability inside Pakistan profoundly threatens U.S. interests in regional stability, nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the eradication of extremism. An unstable Pakistan—a state that is riven by internal factionalization and radicalization, possesses a nuclear stockpile that may not be secure from

  • Raheel Sharif Follows the Same Policy Towards India As Nawaz Sharif, As Both Follow American Dictates
    F Raheel Sharif Follows the Same Policy towards India as Nawaz Sharif, as Both Follow American Dictates News: An Indian Navy officer, working for India's spy agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), was arrested in Balochistan, Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti revealed on 24 March 2016. Confirming the arrest, Bugti said that the RAW officer, identified as Kulbhushan Yadav, was arrested from Balochistan three days ago. “The Indian spy was in contact with Baloch separatists and members of religious organizations involved in stoking sectarian and ethnic unrest in the province,” he said. Asim Bajwa, Director General of ISPR, said that Yadav's goal was to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor through propaganda—with Gwadar port as a special target. Bajwa said, “There can be no clearer evidence of Indian interference in Pakistan,” and added that Yadav’s activities were nothing short of state-sponsored terrorism. Comment: News of the arrest of Indian RAW agent, Kulbhushan Yadav, was presented in some sections of the Pakistani media in a way to show that the military side of the Raheel-Nawaz regime, led by General Raheel Sharif, is seriously hunting Indian agents, whilst the political side of the regime, led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is negligent, as for many days Nawaz Sharif did not even comment on this important issue. The mouth pieces of Raheel in the media explained that Nawaz has a soft corner for India, as America wants normalization of relations between Pakistan and India, so that is why he has not reacted to this very important development, whilst Raheel Sharif is safeguarding the national interests of Pakistan.

It has taken the country almost 66 years to reach this stage. As laid down in the Constitution of 1973, full executive authority is now in the hands of the prime minister who is responsible to the elected national assembly and will not hold power at the pleasure of the president. With the transition now complete, will the third-time Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, succeed in pulling the country out of the deep abyss into which it has fallen? Only time will provide a full answer to this question. Having won a decisive victory in the general election on 11 May 2013 and having been sworn into office on 5 June, Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif settled the matter of the presidency on 30 July. This office had acquired great importance in Pakistan’s political evolution. Sharif had problems with the men who had occupied this office during his first two terms as Prime Minister – in 1990-93 and 1997-99. He was anxious that this time around the 1 Mr Shahid Javed Burki is Visiting Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS), an autonomous research institute at the National University of Singapore.
