Strained Relations: U.S.-Pakistan and ways to advance them
Channel: New America
Date: 02/09/2011

Panelists from the New America Foundation's event "Pakistan and the United States: At a Strategic Crossroads" discuss the findings of the NAF/NWC Pakistan Study Group on September 1st, 2011. Featured speakers included Peter Bergen, Michael J. Mazarr, Mohsin S. Khan, His Excellency Touqir Hussain and Dr. Thomas Lynch III as well as additional members of the NAF/NWC Study Group. 
The Study Group came together to devise practical ways to advance the U.S.-Pakistan relationship at a time when relations between the two countries are at possibly their most strained. As the report explains, "a host of interlocking challenges -- grounded in a deteriorating economy -- call into question Pakistan's ability to 'muddle through' as it has in the past, and the next two or three years pose a crucial test for the country's efforts to arrest continuing socioeconomic decline."
