The merger of FATA into Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa aimed to integrate the tribal areas into mainstream Pakistani governance, but persistent challenges, particularly terrorism and extremism, remain. Historical neglect, socioeconomic deprivation, and rugged terrain are key drivers of terrorism in the NMDs. The region's proximity to conflict zones and inadequate border management exacerbate these issues. The rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan has led to a significant increase in terrorist attacks in Pakistan. Effective measures to combat terrorism include promoting infrastructure, engaging communities, desensitizing the environment, implementing reforms in the National Action Plan, and fostering civil-military harmony. Improving relations with Afghanistan and global powers is also crucial.

Women in Pakistan face significant challenges due to a patriarchal social structure, including domestic violence, forced marriages, and lack of access to education. The state has failed to provide adequate support, resulting in Pakistan being ranked poorly in global gender equality reports. Empowering women through education and financial independence is crucial for societal progress. The government and other stakeholders must prioritize women's education, discourage discrimination, and promote gender equality to unlock the full potential of women and drive socio-economic development.

Climate change poses a significant threat to Pakistan, which is already experiencing severe impacts such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves. Despite contributing minimally to global greenhouse gas emissions, Pakistan is among the most vulnerable countries. The article emphasizes the need for collective action and innovative solutions, including transitioning to renewable energy sources, reforestation, and implementing environmentally friendly policies. Key initiatives like the Bahawalpur Quaid-e-Azam Solar project and the National Electric Vehicles Policy are highlighted as steps towards mitigating climate change. The article calls for substantial investment in climate change mitigation and adaptation measures, urging both state and society to prioritize climate action to ensure a sustainable future.

Federalism in Pakistan has faced numerous challenges since its inception, primarily due to inherited institutional structures from the British Empire, security concerns with India, and the dominance of civil-military oligarchy. The centralization of authority has hindered the development of a true federal system, despite federal constitutions. The 18th Amendment in 2010 marked a significant step towards federalism and democracy, but more efforts are needed to recognize the diverse ethnic groups and establish a genuine federal state. This would lead to economic stability, political accountability, and a stronger bond between the state and society.

The article discusses the shift from a unipolar to a multipolar world order characterized by bloc formation, with significant focus on the competition between the US and China. It highlights China's Belt and Road Initiative and the US-led counter-initiatives like the Build Back Better World and military alliances such as QUAD and AUKUS. The article also examines the growing influence of BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in challenging Western dominance. It suggests that Pakistan could benefit from joining BRICS, given its close ties with China and strategic location, but notes that this would require significant reforms and political stability.
