摘要：The core of the global shift in power dynamics, away from the ‘Westphalian’ global order formed after WW2 and the growth of China and Russia as global powers, along with the deterioration of Western modes of governance and authority, has created a new cold war and struggle to establish new rules and norms. Part of this struggle is the usage of hybrid methods of attack by the opponents of the newly emerging multi-polar world order, so that they can undermine the growth of the new powers without any negative PR on the world stage. Central to the development of the power base of the new global superpowers are (1) The Eurasian land mass concept and (2) The use of multinational infrastructure projects such as Belt Road Initiative and the CPEC, as well as the significance of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and development of the BRICS bank as part of attempts to shift away from the traditional Bretton-Woods system. With CPEC representing a central project of BRI, the key target to topple the structure is Pakistan which plays an increasingly central role among all the countries of significance within this framework. To do this, opponents of the new multi-polar order seem to be relying on Indian intelligence and sabotage operations to foment disinformation as well as terrorist attacks in Pakistan in order to undermine its security profile in context of its significance within the new system. Here, I attempt to map out this image of the strategic context of global geopolitics as seen from the perspective of security, development and intelligence as it concerns Pakistan and the wider Eurasian context..
