“…Meanwhile, neighboring countries like China, Russia, and Iran would have been worried about Afghanistan's unpredictability for quite some time. Given American hostility toward Pakistan in Afghanistan, it is now easier for Pakistan and Iran to work with other regional partners (Raza & Shapiro, 2021). Thematic Analysis: Second Theme generated B3: Saudi Arabia always considers Pakistan an ally in its struggle for regional dominance.…”

After the US pulled its troops out of Afghanistan, relations between Pakistan and Iran started to return to normal. Both countries have been at odds with each other for a long time because they backed different sides in the Afghan Civil War, and Iran and Saudi Arabia are rivals. However, since the US left, both countries have worked to improve their relationships with each other. Pakistan and Iran have signed several agreements and held joint military drills. Iran and Pakistan have also been having regular diplomatic talks to solve their problems and strengthen their relationships. In particular, the two countries have discussed making a free trade agreement to help their economies work together better. As part of a larger plan to increase its power in the area, Iran has also tried to expand its presence in Afghanistan and invest in infrastructure projects. Overall, the US leaving Afghanistan has improved the relationship between Pakistan and Iran; the two countries are working together and talking to each other more. This has been good for the area's stability because it has made it less likely that the two countries will fight. This thematic analysis-based study aimed to investigate the dynamics of relations between Pakistan and Iran. The internal situation in Afghanistan after the US left, the US's role and foreign policy in the region, and India's relations with Iran are all things that have had a significant impact on the political situation in the region.

“…It illustrates the continued centrality of state power and the traditional geopolitical narratives of state-led grand strategy. At the same time, the states’ insistence on territorial preservation and integrity indicates the instability of territorial sovereignty and masks shifts in the effective control of space and political subjectivity (Raza and Shapiro, 2019; Yorgason, 2017). The research on the BRI also illuminates the dynamic interplay between intraregional and extraregional narratives: despite the emphasis on Chinese government policy in the official rhetoric, China constantly renegotiates its engagement with other parts of the world (Woon, 2018).…”

This report focuses on the imaginaries and practices that demarcate space at the international and supranational scale. I will first review political geographic scholarship on region-making and regionalism, using the studies of Europe and the Belt and Road Initiative as examples, and I will then highlight some central themes in the current research on international borders. The report highlights the flexibility of bounding practices and the polymorphic character of borders. It underscores the resilience of state power and the transformations of sovereignty currently under way. It concludes by underscoring the interdisciplinary character of the relevant work.
