The Foreign Policy discourses in Pakistan are mainly constructed and represented by the State\u2019s military establishment. These dynamics are heavily influenced by Pakistan\u2019s relations with India, as Pakistan\u2019s search for security is motivated by India\u2019s hostility towards it. Since the inception of Pakistan, the state has been facing instability not only in the form of on-and-off wars with India, but also with the issues in Afghanistan. This study evaluates the external relationships to explain how security, identity and religion are interlinked in Pakistan. The approach used in this thesis is not the usual realist\/non-realist approach, but the critical one. The post-colonial and feminist approach have been used to show the linkage between security, identity and religion. According to the author, these approaches offer the possibility to reveal the gaps and oversights in the analysis of how in the post-colonial state of Pakistan, security and identity are deeply rooted in the gendered and gendering masculinity narratives. The thesis consists of introductory chapter, six chapters and a conclusion. Chapter one examines the South Asian foreign policy literature with a main focus on Pakistan. The Second chapter discusses militarism and its agents in Pakistan. The third chapter analyzes the civil-military relations of Pakistan. The rest of the chapters analyze the relations of Pakistan with China, India, the US, and the Kashmir question in particular. The thesis investigation proves that the interlinking of security and identity shapes the foreign policy of Pakistan.<\/span><\/p><p><b>By: Ruby Clayton, CIGA Research Associate <\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Maria In\u00eas De Almeida Duarte Bastos Affiliation: University of Westminster Organization\/Publisher: University of Westminster Date\/Place: April 2021\/UK Type of Literature: PhD Thesis Number of Pages: 307 Link: https:\/\/westminsterresearch.westminster.ac.uk\/item\/v529x\/foreign-policy-of-pakistan-a-critical-approach Keywords: Pakistan, Foreign Policy, Identity, Security Brief: The author\u2019s PhD thesis researches how the security and identity discourses are interlinked in Pakistan\u2019s Foreign Policy.
