<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The lack of genuine international support for
democratic rule in Pakistan has further encouraged the military to continue its
dominance. The United States and other Western countries have encouraged the
military’s authoritarian rule in the past, for their own reasons. Given their
fear of the threat of what they call ‘global Islamic terrorism’ and the
apprehension that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal might fall into the hands of these
terrorist groups, the military regime in Pakistan has been seen as the protector
of Western interests in West Asia and South Asia.<br />
(i) What is meant by ‘Global Islamic Terrorism’?<br />
(ii) Why did Pakistan lack genuine international support for a democratic rule?<br />
(iii) Why was the military regime in Pakistan considered as the protector of
Western interests in West Asia and South Asia?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

South Asian politics. Sino-Indian relations have improved significantly in the
last ten years, but China’s strategic partnership with Pakistan remains a major
irritant. The demands of development and globalisation have brought the two
Asian giants closer and their economic ties have multiplied rapidly since 1991.

While the ASEAN region as a whole is a much smaller economy compared to the US the EU, and Japan, its economy is growing much faster than all these. This accounts for the growth in its influence both in the region and beyond. The objectives of the ASEAN Economic Community are to create a common market and production base within ASEAN States and to aid social and economic development in the region, The Economic Community would also like to improve the existing ASEAN Dispute Settlement Mechanism to resolve economic disputes. ASEAN has focused on creating a Free Trade Area (FTA) for investment, labour, and services. The US and China have already moved fest to negotiate FTAs with ASEAN. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #545454; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Questions</span></div>
