In international politics, states often strive to maintain their
position through either cooperation or force. Soft power theory has
emerged as a non-violent approach for states to achieve national
interest by utilizing intangible resources. China and India have
both successfully employed soft power strategies to expand their
influence, , and Pakistan is a relevant case study for examining
the soft power of China and India, as it neighbors of both
countries. The withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan has
raised questions about how India and China will engage and
cooperate in dealing with Pakistan, as well as how they will fill
the regional gap left by the US. Nazmul Islam considers Joseph S.
Nye's Soft Power theory and develops a new idea of “Power of
Bonding” based on non-Western perspectives to examine India and
China's soft power strategy on Pakistan.. Additionally, it
evaluates their areas of influence and soft power strategy in three
thematic areas: political and diplomatic engagement, cultural
attributions and attraction for power bonding, and economic
partnerships. To accomplish these objectives, the study relies on
various research methods, including content analysis of articles
published in Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, and one-on-one interviews
with participants from Pakistan, India, and China.
