It is not that tought, i guess.

Look,

Some of the most striking features of Pakistan's political map have been outcome of its geo-strategic location.

Our geo-strategic location entails, inter alia;

1) A hostile neighbour in India

2) super power interests in the region---cold war was decisively fought out in afghanistan with a huge spill-over in Pakistan , thanks to ,inter alia, long porous border.

3) More recently,,geographical proximity with emerging economies such as india, china are reasons for our geo-strategic importance

4) Energy corridor - gwadar, central asia pipeline politics etc

These foregoing geo-strategic facts colour our political map in following manner:

1) Shaping our state as a national security state.

2) Huge interference of foreign powers and financial institutions

3) A dependent economy

4) Strong role of military, military dictatorships etc

5) weak political institutions

6) Instability, perpetual chaos and insecurity.

and host of other issues that have for long characterised Pakistan's political landscape...
