This is a course that seeks to study the security and strategic challenges Pakistan both faces and presents to the world. Pakistan's historic struggle for democratization, political stability, and national security , along with its unending search for identity and national purpose, have been added challenges following 9/11. They affect as well as reflect regional and international factors that have created a "perfect geo-strategic storm" for Pakistan. The country finds itself at the nexus of the ambitions of a rising India and a revolutionary Iran, a conflicted Afghanistan, and undiminished militancy both at home and within neighboring Afghanistan. This takes place with the simultaneous development of the lengthening strategic shadows of China and the United States, and the security concerns of the global community. <a href="http://bit.ly/1bebp5s" target="_blank">Click here to see evaluations, syllabi, and faculty bios</a>
