About the Book
The two-volume book under review comprises speeches by Professor Khurshid Ahmad in the Senate of Pakistan, encapsulating decisions made in Pakistan vis-à-vis cooperation with the USA in the war on terror and their implications.
The first volume identifies the requirements for the formulation of a foreign policy, and sheds light on different phases and developments that took place during the war on terror. The first part of this volume deals with Pak-US bilateral issues, while the second part is about the global situation and events which prevented the Pakistani government from acting in its own interest under US pressure.
The second volume takes into account issues of internal security and law and order that prevailed in Pakistan, and also discusses the effects of Pak-US cooperation in the war on terror that have directly impacted Pakistan and aggravated the plight of Pakistanis.
In this overall context, this book is a very important document on the legal and political aspects of Pakistan’s politics, international relations and the war on terror. It will be a source of guidance for policy makers, international relations, political and defense experts and students.
