Global Power Competition Implications for Pakistan

Abstract

This research analyzes the changing geopolitics popularly under the broader theme of global power competition, with emphasis on the strategic interactions between Russia, China, and the United States, and their complex implications for Pakistan. Grounded on theoretical frameworks of realism, geopolitical models, and constructivism, the research contextualises the global power rivalries in relation to them and evolving international alignments. It highlights remarkable continuities like weapons competition and proxy warfare but finds new features like economic interdependence, cyber conflict, and multilateral institutionalized relationships.
