The war in Afghanistan has been catastrophic for <br>Pakistan with thousands of lives lost and the economy in shambles. The <br>withdrawal of NATO forces will not result in relief for neighboring <br>countries as each will be vying for more power in Afghanistan. In case of <br>any civil war in Afghanistan, Pakistan will continue to bear the brunt of <br>losses on many levels.</p> Abdul Qadir , Shazia Jaffar Copyright (c) 2023 Pakistan Study Centre http://pscjournal.uob.edu.pk/journal/index.php/psc/article/view/556 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0200 AN INDISPENSABLE GROWTH FOR PAKISTAN THROUGH FREE TRADE WITH INDIA TO COUNTER INFORMAL TRADE http://pscjournal.uob.edu.pk/journal/index.php/psc/article/view/557 <p>Pakistan and India, the best demographic South Asian “Golden Land”, <br>have had a tremendous experience of bilateral trade with relevant <br>competitive advantages contributing towards Global trade enchantment <br>with an extensive realism of free trade in last decades but that has <br>unfortunately declined, which has let the masses on both sides suffer the <br>miseries of poverty and low standard living mainly caused by the trade <br>restrictive policies on both the sides.
