PAKISTAN’S POLITICAL LABYRINTHS
This book explores Pakistan from different vantage points. It examines a
variety of events in contemporary Pakistan through a comprehensive
analysis of identity and power politics, media landscapes, military recruit-
ment, role of madrasahs, terrorism and militancy, and civil war, as well as
outlines future trajectories. It studies themes such as Pakistan’s relationship
with India, the legacy of Jinnah, gender and fundamentalism, and urbaniza-
tion and unrest that have plagued the northern areas. It further looks at the
nation after the capture of Osama bin Laden and the changing nature of its
relationship with the US in its aftermath.
Including contributions from experts in the field and policymakers across
the world, this volume will interest scholars and researchers on Pakistan
studies, politics and international relations. It will also appeal to govern-
ment think tanks.
