GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les perspectives diffèrent principalement en fonction des stratégies de positionnement géopolitique régional. Le Pakistan adopte un équilibrisme diplomatique complexe entre son alliance historique avec les United States et sa solidarité avec le monde musulman, privilégiant les solutions juridico-humanitaires. La Russia exploite cette crise pour consolider son pivot asiatique et son rapprochement avec le Pakistan, tout en légitimant tacitement les actions militaires dans le cadre de sa doctrine de souveraineté étatique. Cette convergence Pakistan-Russia reflète une reconfiguration des alliances régionales post-retrait américain d'Afghanistan.
