Abstract (2. Language): 
The article discusses the importance of geopolitical and spatial dimensions, as part of modernity, on Pakistan’s foreign relations. Drawing on the context of modernity, the article argues that in order to think Pakistan foreign relations in alternative to mainstream IR theories, the concept of space, with its social dimensions is a useful concept. Since Pakistan’s inception in 1947, foreign relations , particularly with India, have been marked by tensions, which on its turn are grounded on space issues. By resourcing to historical events, the article shows the importance of space in Pakistan’s formation, and how fore ign relations have also been consequently shaped. The article concludes that the concept of space plays an important role when analysing foreign relations, also opening the possibility for the analysis of Pakistan foreign relations away from mainstream IR theories.
