PAKISTAN 1995-96
Description
Since the creation of Pakistan as an independent state in 1947 the country has struggled to integrate a diverse population, to stabilize its borders, and to establish enduring democratic institutions. Pakistan has yet to achieve those goals, as political, social, and economic ,upheavals continue to challenge the world's ninth most populous state. Despite the importance of Pakistan's status as a regional power and as a pivotal player on the global stage, relatively little timely, detailed analysis is available on the state. This book fills that gap by providing up-to-date analysis and information by leading scholars. The second in a biennial series, this volume interprets current developments in politics, economics, and foreign relations. In addition, special-interest chapters cover the status of women, Islamization, the role of the judiciary, the military, ethnic conflict, and nuclear issues. Scholars and general readers alike will find valuable insights and comprehensive coverage in this thoughtful collection of essays.
