Keywords:
Multipolar World, , National Security Perspectives, Territorial Integrity, Socio-political Stability, Geo-EconomicsAbstract
The international security environment is undergoing dramatic transformation. Changes and evolution have varying repercussions for developed and developing countries alike. Pakistan, as a key partner in regional security, faces both possibilities and difficulties. The multi-polar world order, globalization, and development of non-state actors highlight the necessity for a comprehensive review of Pakistan's strategic national security. This article examines internal security paradigms, including economic, political, governance, and internal peace and security, to develop a collective security approach. The article proposes collaborative national peace initiatives based on Quaid-i-Azam's vision of "Peace within and Peace with out". The piece advocates communal national security policy composition in order to maximize the benefits of the region's and beyond's more dominant geoeconomic trends.
