First, in an often strained security relationship spanning more than five decades, U.S. and
Pakistani national security objectives have seldom been congruent. Pakistan has
viewed the alliance primarily in the context of its rivalry with India, whereas
American policymakers have viewed it from the perspective of U.S. global security
interests.</p>Pakistan's Domestic Political Developments2005-10-18T14:03:11-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs7426/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs7426/"><img alt="Pakistan's Domestic Political Developments" title="Pakistan's Domestic Political Developments" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs7426/small/"/></a></p><p>Pakistan is a strategically important country and home to one of the world’s

considerable international opprobrium and was subjected to automatic coup-related
U.S. sanctions. The September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and
Musharraf’s ensuing withdrawal of support for the Afghan Taliban regime, however,

Key U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include
regional terrorism; weapons proliferation; the
ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India
tensions; human rights protection; and economic
development. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship
marked by periods of both cooperation and
discord was transformed by September 2001
terrorist attacks on the United States and the
ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a pivotal ally
in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. The top U.S.
officials regularly praise Islamabad for its
ongoing cooperation, although doubts exist
about Islamabad’s commitment to some core
U.S. interests in the region.</p>Agriculture in Afghanistan and Neighboring Asian Countries2006-06-01T12:55:40-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs8621/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs8621/"><img alt="Agriculture in Afghanistan and Neighboring Asian Countries" title="Agriculture in Afghanistan and Neighboring Asian Countries" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs8621/small/"/></a></p><p>Agriculture (as measured by share of gross domestic product and employment) is a significant economic sector in seven Central and South Asian countries: Afghanistan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. All of these countries are net food importers. Some have experienced successive years of drought, which has contributed to noticeable declines in agricultural output and the need to increase commodity imports. The United Nations’ World Food Program reports that both Afghanistan and Tajikistan are currently in need of emergency food assistance to cover sizable food deficits. The food outlook in Afghanistan is made uncertain by ongoing military conflict.</p>Weapons of Mass Destruction: Trade Between North Korea and Pakistan2008-12-11T20:26:20-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs10440/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs10440/"><img alt="Weapons of Mass Destruction: Trade Between North Korea and Pakistan" title="Weapons of Mass Destruction: Trade Between North Korea and Pakistan" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs10440/small/"/></a></p><p>U.S. intelligence officials claimed Pakistan was a key supplier of uranium enrichment technology to North Korea, and some media reports suggested that Pakistan had exchanged centrifuge enrichment technology for North Korean help in developing longer range missiles. U.S. official statements leave little doubt that cooperation occurred, but there are significant details missing on the scope of cooperation and the role of Pakistan's government. The roots of cooperation are deep. North Korea and Pakistan have been engaged in conventional arms trade for over thirty years. Weapons of mass destruction (WMD) trade between North Korea and Pakistan raises significant issues for Congress, which are discussed at length in this report.</p>The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIG TARP)2008-12-11T20:32:50-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs10817/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs10817/"><img alt="The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIG TARP)" title="The Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIG TARP)" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs10817/small/"/></a></p><p>This report discusses the Special Inspector General provisions in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, H.R. 1424, which was enacted as P.L. 110-343 on October 3, 2008.

In the post- 9/11 period, assisting in the creation of a more stable, democratic, and prosperous Pakistan actively combating religious militancy has been among the most important U.S. foreign policy efforts. Pakistan is among the leading recipients of U.S. aid in the post-9/11 period, having been appropriated about $24 billion in assistance and military reimbursements since 2001. FY2013 legislation in the 112th Congress would cut U.S. assistance funding significantly from both the levels requested by the Administration and from those Congress approved for FY2012. Provisions also would introduce more rigorous restrictions and certification requirements on such aid. With anti-American sentiments and xenophobic conspiracy theories rife among ordinary Pakistanis, persistent economic travails and a precarious political setting combine to present serious challenges to U.S. decision makers.</p>Pakistan: U.S. Foreign Aid Conditions, Restrictions, and Reporting Requirements2012-06-15T10:07:48-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc86589/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc86589/"><img alt="Pakistan: U.S. Foreign Aid Conditions, Restrictions, and Reporting Requirements" title="Pakistan: U.S. Foreign Aid Conditions, Restrictions, and Reporting Requirements" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc86589/small/"/></a></p><p>This report provides a comprehensive list of existing laws and pending legislation containing conditions, limitations, and reporting requirements for U.S. foreign assistance to Pakistan.
