Walking A Tightrope

📖 Walking A Tightrope is a compelling and insightful account of Pakistan’s complex civil–military relationship and foreign policy struggles, written by a seasoned insider. The book takes readers behind the scenes of Pakistan’s diplomacy, examining how the country has constantly tried to maintain a precarious balance between military influence, democratic aspirations, regional challenges, and global pressures.

Drawing on historical events, personal experiences, and policy-level observations, the author explores Pakistan’s relations with India, Afghanistan, the United States, and China, as well as its internal governance dilemmas. This candid narrative helps explain why Pakistan often appears to be “walking a tightrope” in both its domestic politics and international relations.

A vital read for students of Pakistan Affairs, International Relations, Political Science, and CSS/PMS candidates who want deeper insight into Pakistan’s strategic behaviour and policymaking challenges.
