But a series of events, including the May discovery of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad and the November US strike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers along the Afghan border, contribute to mounting mistrust in both nations. This YaleGlobal series examines the deteriorating relations and their regional impact. In the second and final article, Robert M. Hathaway, director of the Asia Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC, argues that the US must not abandon efforts in Pakistan. Despite strategic differences between the US and Pakistan, the main threat to nuclear-armed Pakistan comes from its deteriorating economy and education system and escalating conflict between military and civilian leaders. Targeted civilian assistance, not military aid, could provide the better relief. Hathaway recommends continued economic aid, directed and monitored by skilled technical experts, with Pakistani co-investment and emphasis on job growth. More News...
