The relationship between the United States and Pakistan has been
redefined repeatedly since Pakistan's independence in 1947. It will
continue to be strained by mutual distrust, internal threats to
Pakistan's stability, Pakistan's relations with its neighbors and
militants, and the U.S. role in Afghanistan beyond 2014. But there
is a growing recognition that the U.S.-Pakistan relationship is one
of mutual necessity-"transactional" rather than "strategic." This
pragmatic recognition, along with recent developments (such as the
peaceful transfer of power between elected civilian governments,
the military's declining prestige, and the political
establishment's growing willingness to engage constructively with
India) and ongoing pressures (such as Pakistan's youth bulge and
energy crisis), give the United States and Pakistan a chance to
focus on areas where cooperation is actually possible: civilian
aid, trade relations, and support to Pakistan's private sector. The
author based these findings on interviews and rountables involving
more than 220 officials and experts during a two-month field visit
in Pakistan in late 2012.
