For the reasons of history, religion, language, culture,
aspirations, geopolitics and power; conscious and considered
decisions put a country and its economy on a chosen path. The
greater context is always Development State v.s., Security State.
Pakistan is no exception. On its creation, Pakistan could have
moved in the direction of Development State, but it did not.
Perhaps the burden of sub-conscious was too much to ignore. It
opted for Economy of National Security i.e., power struggle.
Over the decades, Pakistan’s economy became a combination of
national and external resource allocations for the reasons of
global geo-politics. Previously, it was Cold War, now it is War
on Terror. National capacity of the resource allocation has been
stretched to its maximum. Domestically, it led to political and
religious reductionism. In foreign policy, the choices made were
of Cold War, military buildup, nuclear weapons, delivery systems
and alliances in the quest for security and geopolitical status.
Has Pakistan succeeded? The problem is that the centre of
gravity of American War on Terror and nuclear proliferation is
Pakistan itself
