CHIEF EDITOR’S CORNER<br />
Welcome to the Premier Issue of the Pakistan Armed Forces War College (AFWC)<br />
Journal (<strong>OPINION</strong>). An initiative and vision of the Commandant AFWC with the view to<br />
documenting the research work of members of the course and making it available for larger<br />
readership. I take great pride for being part of this maiden effort that has brought us to this stage<br />
of academic development that now we have the AFWC journal available on our NDU web Site.<br />
And now on the contents of this maiden issue, the research work of the panels has been<br />
arranged into four distinct parts. Part-1 covers the global/regional issues; Part-2 discusses the<br />
national security aspects, while the third part focuses on the military strategy. The last part<br />
highlights the views of individual writers on current challenges that we confront today vis-à-vis<br />
needs of the domestic / global policy constructs.<br />
From here on, I am confident that as we move forward, the research work reflected in the<br />
<strong>OPINION</strong> would continue to develop and subsequent issues of this journal would contribute<br />
effectively within the academic circles.<br />
Finally, happy reading and all the best until next time to all our readers.<br />
