The role of the internal political economic factors of the peripheral countries tends to remain largely muted in the analysis of imperialism. To redress this the paper put forwards an articulated conceptualization of imperialism in the context of the postcolonial state of Pakistan by underscoring the significance of domestic political economic factors in mediating and regulating an imperialist political settlement. Imperialist political settlement is mediated by a combination of two interrelated processes—strategic fix and dependency fix. ‘Strategic fix’ is about addressing actual or perceived political, economic and militaristic challenges --- encapsulating both territorial and capitalist logics of power --- to core countries of the capitalist world system. Whereas, the ‘dependency fix’ is about preventing a radical progressive restructuring in dominated countries (e.g., Pakistan) to ensure a favorable socio-economic order for the domestic elites. One of the key implications of envisioning imperialist domination as a dialectic of strategic and dependency fixes is that it makes visible the shared interests of Pakistani ruling elites and the imperialist forces of blocking progressive and emancipatory political and socio-economic transformation in Pakistan. Therefore, the paper argues that an effective counter-hegemonic project against imperialism needs to incorporate strategies of progressive radical transformation of a dominated country.

在对帝国主义的分析中，外围国家的内部政治经济因素的作用往往在很大程度上保持沉默。为了解决这个问题，本文通过强调国内政治经济因素在调解和规范帝国主义政治解决方案中的重要性，在巴基斯坦后殖民国家的背景下提出了一个清晰的帝国主义概念。帝国主义的政治解决是由两个相互关联的过程——战略修复和依赖修复——的结合来调解的。“战略修复”是针对资本主义世界体系的核心国家解决实际或感知到的政治、经济和军国主义挑战——包括领土和资本主义权力逻辑。然而，“依赖修复”是关于防止在被支配的国家（例如巴基斯坦）进行激进的渐进式重组，以确保有利于国内精英的社会经济秩序。将帝国主义统治设想为战略和依附修复的辩证法的关键含义之一是，它使巴基斯坦统治精英和阻止巴基斯坦进步和解放的政治和社会经济转型的帝国主义力量的共同利益可见。因此，本文认为，一个有效的反帝国主义反霸权项目需要纳入被统治国家渐进式激进转型的战略。将帝国主义统治设想为战略和依附修复的辩证法的关键含义之一是，它使巴基斯坦统治精英和阻止巴基斯坦进步和解放的政治和社会经济转型的帝国主义力量的共同利益可见。因此，本文认为，一个有效的反帝国主义反霸权项目需要纳入被统治国家渐进式激进转型的战略。将帝国主义统治设想为战略和依附修复的辩证法的关键含义之一是，它使巴基斯坦统治精英和阻止巴基斯坦进步和解放的政治和社会经济转型的帝国主义力量的共同利益可见。因此，本文认为，一个有效的反帝国主义反霸权项目需要纳入被统治国家渐进式激进转型的战略。
