The expansion of the BRICS bloc and the growing debate on de-dollarization represent a critical shift toward a multipolar global system. For developing countries like Pakistan, this evolving order presents both strategic opportunities and complex challenges. Understanding these dynamics is essential for Pakistan’s economic resilience, foreign policy recalibration, and long-term stability.

  The Emerging Multipolar World Order: Implications for Global Stability Introduction The post–Cold War era was characterized by the dominance of a unipolar world order led by the United States. However, the evolving dynamics of international relations in the twenty-first century indicate a gradual but decisive shift toward a multipolar world. The rise of China, the reassertion of Russia, the growing influence of regional powers, and the relative decline of Western hegemony have collectively reshaped global power structures. This emerging multipolarity presents both opportunities and challenges, raising critical questions about global stability, governance, and the future of international cooperation. Understanding the Concept of Multipolarity A multipolar world order refers to a global system in which power is distributed among multiple states rather than concentrated in one or two dominant actors. Unlike unipolarity, which often ensures relative predictability, multipolarity intr...

  Climate Change and Pakistan: An Existential Threat Demanding Urgent Governance Reforms Introduction Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing global challenges of the twenty-first century, transcending borders and disproportionately affecting vulnerable nations.

The severity of its impact underscores the urgent need for governance reforms, adaptive capacity building, and climate-resilient development strategies.

Artificial Intelligence and Governance Opportunities and Challenges for Developing Countries Introduction: The twenty-first century is marked by rapid technological advancement, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerging as one of the most transformative forces of modern times.

 Christmas Day — history, meaning, where it’s celebrated, and its message Introduction (short): Christmas Day, observed on 25 December in most traditions, is the annual festival that commemorates the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Over centuries it has grown into both a major religious observance for Christians and a widely celebrated cultural holiday with many secular customs.  1. Historical origins — how Christmas began There is no exact date for Jesus’s birth in the Bible.
