Abstract
The relations between the United States and Pakistan (US-Pakistan relations) have a very tumultuous history, which is spread over nearly six decades. Owing to the diverse strategic and, sometimes, incompatible strategic interests, these relations have seen various engagements and estrangements. This paper aims at exploring the role played by the geostrategic and geopolitical factors in bringing US closer to Pakistan. It takes into account the cost and benefits of these relations for Pakistan and the United States. It also highlights the present warmth in relations between the United States and Pakistan in the perspective of geo-strategic and geopolitical factors. It also discusses the future prospects of these relations.Key words: US-Pakistan Relations; Geostrategic factors; Geopolitical factors Résumé: Les relations entre les États-Unis et le Pakistan (les relations américano-pakistanaises) ont une histoire très tumultueuse, qui s'étale sur près de six décennies.
