Pakistan Army: Will it hinder or help Indo-Pak détente? By C.Christine Fair, Assistant Professor, Security Studies Program, Georgetown University, USA. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to New Delhi for the swearing in of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has renewed hope for better ties between India and Pakistan. However, a lot depends on the role of the Pakistan army and its equations with the civilian government. Against this background, the talk draws from Dr. Fair’s book, Fighting to the End: the Pakistan Army’s Way of War, which describes the strategic culture of the Pakistan army and its ramifications for international security.
