“The primary purpose of this paper is to present and analyse observable trends in Pakistan's security landscape, without making any value judgments. The focus is on identifying and highlighting the evolving patterns and dynamics within Pakistan's security regime, rather than assessing whether the variables discussed are inherently good or bad. The intention is to provide an objective overview of the changes taking place, aiding comprehension of the broader context and implications of these trends. This paper does not aim to advocate for or against any particular policy or approach, but rather to offer a clear and impartial examination of the factors shaping Pakistan's security environment.”
