We live in an era of globalization, where the question of security has emerged in a new form and character. In this dissertation, an attempt has been made to assess the current external as well as internal security threats to Pakistan and to investigate feasible remedial measures to enhance the national structure on domestic fronts. As evident from the title, this dissertation revolves around the internal and external security threats to Pakistan in the light of globalization.
Various external and internal security threats to Pakistan, weaknesses of our national response, and viable countermeasures are proposed in this dissertation. This topic is one of Pakistan’s most critical burning issues and is well recognized nationally and internationally as it evaluates the characteristics of the social order in Pakistan from several perspectives to find out the causes of domestic unrest and stresses the primary factors contributing in the peace of our society. The importance of this research study further increases as the articles and study papers available on this topic are still in want of more input to chalk out viable solutions of the problems/counter actions. In this dissertation, an active attempt has been made to assess the flaws of the security structure of Pakistan in order to propose practical countermeasures. In order to achieve progress and prosperity, all Pakistan need is sincerity, cooperation, and unity.
The origin of the domestic security challenges of a country can be traced from the internal and external quarters. India and Afghanistan, the two immediate neighbors, pose a conventional or external threat to the stability of Pakistan. Furthermore, global powers like United States and Russia also threaten the stability of Pakistan due to their changing interests in the global order setting. On the other hand, internal threats to Pakistan are due to the domestic political, ethnic, sectarian, extremism and Jihadi culture prevalent in the country. It is often carried out by external activities. According to the official nationalism of Pakistan, the country was created on the basis of the two-nation theory, which clearly states that the Indian Muslims are a separate and distinct community for the Hindu nation.
