Note: Background material relevant to the subject of this Lecture is abundantly available in several books
recommended in the reading list for the first 9 lectures and for this lecture as well.
The verbal content of the lecture, the PPTs and the daily news media provide a relevant contextual
framework. To enable students to appreciate the direct and vital linkage between foreign policy and security
policy, and to refer to the post-9/11 situation, students are advised to note the principal elements listed in the
text of this handout placed below.

While the research paper from which this handout is derived is not a full-scale study of all the pertinent
dimensions, the content highlights the main issues for students in a concise and easily absorbable manner.
The research paper was published in August 2005 by The South Asian Strategic Stability Unit and is titled: "A
break from the past: Trends in Pakistan's Security Policy after 9/11".
