By Napoleon:
The foreign policy of a country is
determined by its
geography.
I will try to high-light the geographic factor in
the light of following points like Size, Location,
Natural resources & geopolitics.
Size :
The land area of a state in itself is an element of power.
Size effects on the conduct of warfare, population and natural
resources.
Size also effects on national unity. It is important from administrative
and cultural point of view.
In this perspective Pakistan is ideal. Its size is greater than many
developed countries like UK, France, Japan and its population is less
than Japan Indonesia and Malaysia.
In this regard, land of Pakistan is quite enough for its inhabitants for
their use like residence , agriculture , forestry, industry and other
facilities of infrastructure like dams roads and motorways.
Conclusion :
Pakistan is a junction of south Asia, west Asia and central Asia; a way
from resource efficient countries to resource deficient countries.
The world is facing energy crises and terrorism. Pakistan is a route for
transportation and a front line state against terrorism.
Moreover Pakistan has been traditionally ally of emerging economic
giant; china.
So in the vague of any change in world politics, Pakistans geostrategic significance would further be enhanced.
