BUILDING IMAGE OF PAKISTAN (PART 1)

Posted on at


The world today has image much to object on Pakistan.Various tags are attached with this country whenever it is named in any international media or any world forum.Building a strong image of Pakistan is the absolute need of the hour.With this media revolutions an immediacy of the global response stands as the direct outcome of the globalization.This is the world where the apparent image matters a lot,even more than what the reality stands.Only those nations in the world have managed to secure a dignified image in the world who have put concerted effort in their image-building;either it be through media,or diplomacy.

.

Certain issues have greatly tarnished Pakistan’s image internationally that must be of great concern for the govt,public and all the responsible institutions of Pakistan.Pakistan’s media,institutions and army has important to play for for building a respectable image in the globe.Most importantly the global factors which are developing a conspiracy to tarnish the image of Pakistan as a failed state must be dealt with decisively.In this regard issues at home come first to present a positive image outside world.

‘Terrorism’ is our sole identity.We are seen both as a problem and as a key to its solution.Whether we accept it or not,our image and recognitionin the community of nations today is only as a breeding ground for religious extremism amd militancy and as a country afflicted with a culture of violence and corruption.We are today politically unstable,economically weak and socially fragmented.The image of Pakistan which was once visualized by the founding father of Pakistan seems no more like a dream.Transparency international has put Pakistan on 34th number while the FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) has been decreased to 83% in the fiscal year 2012.Weak democracy is a political norm and independence on the foreign aid and debt are not something surprising to the world community.Pakistan is often objected for worst conditions of human rights violation with lack of accountability and transparent legal process are another titles attached to our country’s name.The image of Pakistan as a sovereign state can be achieved with bringing about radical changes at international and local level.

Foreign policy of a country serves as the apparent character of a nation in front of the other countries.It is with this policy a nation can secure a dignified status on the international forum.For much of our history,Pakistan's foreign policy agenda has been shaped by a civil-military complex of poer reflecting the preferences and interests of our ruling elite and special interest groups.The balance of power between the civil and military bureaucracy kept changing but it was they who invariably controlled our politics on such crucial issues as relations with India,China,US and the Gulf states and the nuclear issues.
