The book titled Pakistan and a World in Disorder — A Grand Strategy for the Twenty-First Century discusses Pakistan’s policies in the 21st century at length. Taking advantage of his vast experience, the author of the book Ambassador Javid Husain, a career diplomat who has served on important positions around the world, ponders Pakistan’s foreign policy and its achievements and shortcomings. He argues that Pakistan’s foreign policy is “out of sync” (p.1) with the realities both at regional and global level and, therefore, a review is imperative. To some extent, the clash between different ministries and organisations in Pakistan is responsible for this situation. The author, therefore, makes a strong case for the adoption of a coherent and well thought-out grand strategy.
