Description

This book is an attempt to subject Pakistan's defence policy from 1947 to 58 to academic investigation. It examines the defence policy in the context of the then existing international political system, South Asian regional compulsions and the role of elites. Born under an unfavourable and complicated environment, Pakistan did not have many options available if viewed within the context of the ruling elites' inclinations. The thrust of the argument revolves around Pakistan's perceived security threats from India and its efforts to counterbalance the threat initially through non-alignment and later through alliances. The study also discusses the significance of alternatives which Pakistan decided to abandon.
