Its diversity and resilience have rarely figured in the single-issue focus of recent literature on the country, be it journalistic or scholarly. This book seeks to present an alternate paradigm and to contribute a deeper understanding of the country's dynamics that can help explain why Pakistan has confounded all the doomsday scenarios. It brings together an extraordinary array of Pakistan's leading experts including Ahmed Rashid, Ayesha Jalal and Zahid Hussain and practitioners such as the book's editor, Maleeha Lodhi, Akbar Ahmed and Munir Akram in a unique volume to debate their country's strengths and weaknesses and offer ways out of its current predicament. The book provides a picture of how Pakistanis see themselves and their country's faultlines and spells out ways to overcome these. Pakistan's political, economic, social, foreign policy and governance challenges are assessed in detail. So too is the complex interplay between domestic developments and external factors including great power interests that are so central to the Pakistan story and explain the vicissitudes in its fortunes. The book argues that Pakistan and its people have the capacity to transform their country into a stable modern Muslim state but bold reforms will be needed to bring about this outcome.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49581001179409,"sku":"GOR008495840","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1849041350.jpg?v=1755498505"},{"product_id":"pakistan-book-maleeha-lodhi-9781911723776","title":"Pakistan","description":"Pakistan is facing a multitude of critical challenges, a 'Polycrisis' arising in many areas at once--political, constitutional, economic, security-related, geo-political, demographic and ecological. These systemic predicaments are the cumulative consequence of decades of poor governance and squandered opportunities, whose convergence now creates a formidable existential threat.    Maleeha Lodhi holds that Pakistan's governmental leaders, both civilian and military, have failed to take a long view and to outline a vision for the country. They have spent much of their time in power operating in crisis management or power preservation modes, postponing meaningful reform and looking for expedient short-term 'solutions'. The consequences of those sins of omission and commission are now coming together.    In this new volume, Lodhi has brought together eighteen chapters by experts in a variety of fields, including Murtaza Syed, Zahid Hussain, Riaz Mohammad Khan and Adil Najam, to analyse Pakistan's various grand challenges and to suggest prognoses. This important compilation of rigorous, compelling essays will be essential reading for those who seek to understand what is at stake for Pakistan, both in terms of present-day crises and in terms of future trends.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49751649157393,"sku":"NGR9781911723776","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50751405162769,"sku":"GOR014058824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054577516817,"sku":"NIN9781911723776","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911723774.jpg?v=1751428204"},{"product_id":"pakistan-beyond-the-crisis-state-book-maleeha-lodhi-9780199327430","title":"Pakistan Beyond the Crisis State","description":"Seen through the lens of the outsider, Pakistan has often been reduced to a caricature.
