In Pakistan at the Crossroads,
top international scholars assess Pakistan's politics and economics and
the challenges faced by its civil and military leaders domestically and
diplomatically. Contributors examine the state's handling of internal
threats, tensions between civilians and the military, strategies of
political parties, police and law enforcement reform, trends in judicial
activism, the rise of border conflicts, economic challenges, financial
entanglements with foreign powers, and diplomatic relations with India,
China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and the United States.
In
addition to ethnic strife in Baluchistan and Karachi, terrorist
violence in Pakistan in response to the American-led military
intervention in Afghanistan and in the Federally Administered Tribal
Areas by means of drones, as well as to Pakistani army operations in the
Pashtun area, has reached an unprecedented level. There is a growing
consensus among state leaders that the nation's main security threats
may come not from India but from its spiraling internal conflicts,
though this realization may not sufficiently dissuade the Pakistani army
from targeting the country's largest neighbor. This volume is therefore
critical to grasping the sophisticated interplay of internal and
external forces complicating the country's recent trajectory.
