dc.description.abstract |
The personality of a political leader had remained a major issue of discussion
among scholars because the personality of a leader has importance in the foreign
policy decision-making process of a developing and under developing countries,
especially in Africa and Asia.
It is also said that personal characteristics of a political leader on foreign
policy of a country are more important. In this regard statements have come from
different personality theorists.
Many researchers have focused on the political leader’s beliefs about the
nature of politics and political conflicts, his/her views regarding the extent to which
historical developments can be shaped. While another school of thought stem from
psychological research which is based on personality making content, analysis of
speeches and interviews.
This research is based on applying the different theories of personality from
general to particular; in the case study of Benazir Bhutto. Her personal style of
reacting to external threats had a considerable impact on Pakistan’s relations with
US which are focused in this study, because Pakistan’s relations with the United
States occupy important place in Pakistan’s foreign policy. The two states have
generally maintained favourable dispositions towards each other, but their
interaction has not always progressed smoothly.XI
Pak-US Relations and the significant issues involved between them during
her both terms in office had been examined in details. It is tried to asses that to
what extent her personality contributed towards relations between Pakistan and the
US.
The importance of examining the Benazir Bhutto’s personality and her
impact on Pakistan’s foreign policy is much more signified by the fact that she is
recognised as a leader at the national as well as the international level.
Benazir Bhutto’s personality is a mixture of varied personality traits. She is
determinant and skilful lady. She has tremendous energy and working capacity. She
has command over crises management which can be shown at the time when
Pakistan’s relations were on the stack and Pakistan’s name was included on terrorist
watch list by US it was her policies through which Pakistan’s name was excluded
from the list including getting some F-16’s and US economic MoU’s were signed as
compare to economic aid. Over all she had out lined her own foreign policy goals
and objectives of Pakistan during her premiership. |
