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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hussain Nadim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032019956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032019956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Hussain Nadim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075477565695,"sku":"9781032019956","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bba85ab4-dd3d-45a1-943b-672cc56a34bb.jpg?v=1685459656","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aid-politics-and-the-war-hussain-nadim-9781032019956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
