Part of the IGCC-IR/PS Series "Examining Political and Leadership Change in the Asia-Pacific"
It now appears inevitable that military rule in Pakistan will be replaced by civilian government. Neil Joeck will talk about the political changes in Pakistan and policy options for the United States and Pakistan to understand what missteps have been taken in the past and how they may be avoided in the future.
Dr. Joeck will offer a perspective on:
- What the Pakistan military has learned and has not learned since the 1999 coup
- Political learning since the last democratic era
- The effects of terrorism on Pakistan’s future and how it will influence U.S.–Pakistan relations
- The implications of political transition in Washington and Islamabad.
Neil Joeck is a senior fellow at the Center for Global Security Research at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and a research associate of the Center for South Asian Studies at UC Berkeley. He has served in the National Security Council and the Department of State.
