This book analyses the aid, politics and the war of narratives
between the US and Pakistan under the Kerry Lugar Berman Act
(2009-2013), using the security-development nexus as a framing
discourse and taking a decolonial approach to the subject. The book
explores the politics of US foreign aid to Pakistan, with regard to
the issues of 'sovereignty' and 'agency', to analyse the notions of
aid, power and narratives in the asymmetrical US-Pakistan
relations. Based on primary interviews and extensive data analysis
of US foreign aid datasets, the book specifically argues that
foreign aid is based under the hubris of the security-development
nexus, which encourages a dialectical power struggle between the US
and Pakistan, and between the civil and military actors inside
Pakistan, which use the indivisibility of security and development
to advance their strategic interests over each other. This book is
a timely analysis given the recent political turmoil in Pakistan
that saw the ouster of Prime Minister Imran Khan who blamed the
Biden Administration for orchestrating a "regime change" conspiracy
against his government. Interdisciplinary and relevant to academic
and policy debates, this book will be of interest to researchers in
the fields of Development Studies, International Relations, Policy
Studies, Area Studies and, in particular, South Asian Politics.
