“Pakistan – A Complex
State” is a follow up to Author’s previous works who is a PhD scholar. It is
about Pakistan, which is facing three evils—terrorism, extremism, and
separatism. Pakistani military is still a strong, a well disciplined
organization, which is capable of holding the country together. In recent
years, the military has been under tremendous pressure from both the foreign
powers and from the Pakistani public to deal with these three evils.
This book will
help in understanding the Pakistani state, its domestic problems, its
diversity, its intentions and motivations, its decision maker process, and its
interests. Pakistan’s perception,
cultural diversity, religious and social makeup, as well as its geo-political
environment, and political structure are very complicated. Most academic
studies note that Pakistan’s military is the only institution holding the
country together.
In this book the
Author has addressed a few key issues which are of concern to the analysts and
Pakistani watchers. These include Pakistan’s complex politics, delicate
geo-political dilemma, fragile ethnic
balance, religious sensitivities, social and cultural dynamics, political
structure, an aggressive media environment, class based educational setup, and
complicated leadership composition.
