Cooperation: Following the entry of Russia into the Middle Eastern chaotic situation,
there emerged its chances of cooperation with the United States. It happened to
some extent. Both the countries shared information about ISIS hideouts and dealt
them with combined airstrikes.
Conflict: In the second phase, both U.S. and Russia began to contend over the
control of the Syrian areas conquered from the ISIS. Both established their separate
zones of influence thus leading the operation to their own separate interests.
Parting of Ways: Finally, both the powers parted their ways in the fight against ISIS.
This led to an apparent rise in Russian influence in Syria. It ultimately knocked out
the U.S or at least marginalized it.
Conclusion
US-Russia relations in context of the ISIS can be understood in three phases of
cooperation, conflict and part of ways. This entire scheme was followed by an adverse
impact on the Middle Eastern security situation.
Mutual effort of India and U.S to contain the Chinese rise in Asia
Urge of United States to use India as a political partner against the Chinese effort to
oust U.S. from Asia
Aim to build a new alliance in Asia in order to counter the non-traditional strategic
threats.
Impacts of U.S-India Strategic Partnership in the Region and in the Indian Ocean
Region
Following impacts can be seen in this regard:
The partnership has led to nearness of India with the Southeast Asian States like
Japan
The partnership has made China, Russia and other regional powers to review their
policies and interests attached with the scenario
It has brought China closer to Pakistan with the formers interest to hold the latter as
a tool to counter balance the Indian presence
Russia is also reviewing its alliance with India after the latter is getting closer to the
United States
Indian Ocean is being militarized amid the Indo-US strategic partnership
Indian ocean is once again being monopolized amid silent yet apparent efforts of new
blocs
A shift in alliance is being marked i.e. Russia, China and Pakistan are getting close to
counter US-India strategic partnership
There has been marked an increase in Chinese effort to bring Southeast Asian
nations closer along with showing a strict stance on the disputed South China sea
waters.
Conclusion
US-India relations resulting in strategic partnership are not vague or empty for the
region. They are strongly impacting the balance of power here along with increasing the
conflict over Indian oceans control. This unprecedented scenario is for sure the obvious
yet indirect result of the strategic partnership between U.S and India who see
themselves as one against the Chinese rise.
Military action against the foreign militants using the land of Baluchistan for their
activities against CPEC by damaging the peace in the province.
Dialogue with the separatists of Baluchistan should be started instead of dealing
them with the military actions. This will enable them to find a proper vent for their
grievances. Besides dialogue, they must be given proper chance to surrender and
must be rehabilitated later through mainstreaming.
Strict diplomatic actions should be taken, against the countries interfering in
Baluchistan to hamper CPEC.
There is need to make the Baluch people aware of their share in the CPEC along
with giving them that share.
If provided education, given jobs and facilities to the coming generations;
Baluchistans security can be improved thus making CPEC successful.
Conclusion
CPEC is the important project which is not possible without improved security condition
in Baluchistan. Proper action against militants and dialogue with the separatists can
help in improving the security situation of the province thus making CPEC to come into
successful practice. Further, effective formulization to bring the Baluch people into
mainstream can greatly help in this regard. If ensured about their share in prosperity
and development, they will truly revert towards nationalism rather than provincialism.
The Plan, with its clear cut outline of action against the terrorists, has enabled the
security forces of Pakistan to avoid feeding any second doubts and act promptly
against the evil masterminds all across the country.
The plan played its positive role in enabling the military establishment to boost the
Operation Zarb-e-Azb along with starting the strategic operations in major cities like
Karachi.
The Plan has enabled the civil military leadership to be on the same page in terms of
action against terrorism thus making the counter-terrorism measures more effective.
The Plan has brought the major terrorists groups like TTP to knees even though the
latters existence still cannot be undermined
The Plan, however, failed to ignite proper and effective re-invigoration in the non-
military security forces. It remained dependent on the military troops for its enactment
on the ground. Hardly, civilian forces have played any commendable role in
upholding this plan except by supporting it in words.
Owing to the political controversies attached with the Plan, its role has been
undermined. Not all the political parties are in good terms with certain provisions of
the Plan including the operation in Karachi and action against Madrassahs.
NAP resulted in a boosted and successful operation against terrorists hiding in the
tribal belt of Pakistan
NAP brought the outcome of successful operation against the Urban militia in Karachi
along with igniting action against sectarian groups in the Southern region of the
Punjab
NAP ensured the outcome of civil military cooperation over counter-terrorism
measures
NAP, to a greater extent, lowered the number of terrorist attacks thus strengthening
the internal security of Pakistan.
Conclusion
National Action Plan has proved relatively a good and effective agenda against the
terrorists hiding out and spreading violence in Pakistan. It has helped the internal
security to improve with better outcomes. Beyond that, the Plan remains victim of its
own success. It has been facing political controversies along with limited attention of
civilian government thus undermining the effort to improve internal security.
