Graham E. Fuller — Pakistan Elections—Maybe Good News for Pakistan, But Not for U.S.

Summary:
Backgrounder. Should read if interested in geopolitics, geostrategy and international relations. This is a pivotal area of the world that most Westerners ignore as "backward." It is now coming into play and will be increasingly influential in the dynamic among the Atlanticists, Russia, India, and China, owing to developing strategic importance as the rivalry between the Global North and West versus the Global South and East heats up. This pretty much boils down to the developed world versus the emerging world. Previously, the developed world was dominant, but the game has shifted as the developed world begins to peak and decline while the emerging world emerges more and more rapidly. The combined GDP of the emerging world surpassed that of the developed world in the past decade.
