An In-depth Examination of Pakistan's Endeavors to Establish an Autonomous Foreign Policy from 2018 to 2022

Abstract

The current study explores the attempts of Pakistan to develop an independent foreign policy against 2018 to 2022 and will analyze the factors that have contributed to its quest and evaluate its achievements and failures. The research aims to know why and why not to get autonomy in the international relations through a methodology that entails a thorough examination of secondary literature in the form of publications and reports. Some of the factors considered include global power balance, regional impacts, and domestic political concerns. The study offers valuable information about the consequences of policy making, diplomacy, and the negotiation process, thereby making an input to an informed policy making, and shaping the future of the foreign policy in Pakistan. The results of the study contribute to understanding the specifics related to the course of autonomous foreign policy and give clues about the outcomes of the Pakistani efforts concerning its role in the world arena. The current study may be valuable to add to the policy-making discussions and contribute to the formation of the more knowledge-based strategy to build the future foreign policy orientation of Pakistan.
