Diplomatic bargaining at the edge - The Current Pak US Row

The US Pak Row: Diplomatic Bargaining at the Edge
Prof. Ijaz Khan
The conflict in the Af Pak region has entered a new phase, which may be termed the pre 2014 phase is currently witnessing a serious row between United States and Pakistan, supposedly allies in the ‘War against Terrorism’. All parties want to influence the outcome in 2014 so that the post 2014 situation best meets its perceived interests. To influence that outcome Pakistan and U.S are pursuing policies that appear to be at odds. Both also consider the behavior of the other to be vital for achievement of its goal. So, they are using various means to influence each other’s behavior. The current row between the two allies can be explained as an overheated diplomatic bargaining.
