Abstract
This thesis addresses contemporary American imperialism and its effect on the Pakistan-U.S. relationship. The period between the mid-1950’s and the mid-1960’s and the Global War on Terror will be considered most extensively in this thesis. The definition of contemporary American imperialism will be the political influence of a strong nation over a weaker nation to spread the views held by the stronger nation often motivated from a national security standpoint which can lead to the creation of economic ties between the two nations. The result of this type of imperialism is an interactive relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan which is based on an imbalance of power. This thesis will then explain how the relationship is dictated by U.S. interests and disregards the interests of Pakistan, allowing for a quick shift in the relationship based on the whims of the U.S, to the disadvantage of Pakistan.
