The relations between United States and Pakistan during the past 75 years have transformed the nature of security architecture of South Asian region in a myriad ways. They have set Pakistan and India on course of military tensions, arms race, and confrontation; have inflamed multiple civil wars in Afghanistan; and have militarised not only the whole region of South Asia but surrounding regions as well.
Whether it is the Cold War calculus or the dynamics of War on Terror, Washington on both counts pumped cash and military hardware into the militarisation of the Pakistani society and the consequent militarisation of the region.
