There are several studies on Pakistan's external relations but none of them paint the picture on as wide a canvas as the one chosen for this work. Most studies deal with bilateral relations; however, the scope of this work is much wider. This book examines Pakistan's relations with India, China, the United States, and Afghanistan and several other countries in a dynamic framework. The author looks at Pakistan's external relations from several disciplinary angles and explains that it is difficult to fully comprehend economic changes-in particular, the influences on the making of public policy-without understanding the political, social, and cultural environment in which Pakistan's economy functions. Some of the topics discussed in the book are demography; geography; migrations; religion; climate change and global warning; American-China trade war; America's conflict with Iran; India's decision to absorb Kashmir as a 'territory' of the Indian Union; and the impact of international migration on the political systems in several Western nations.
