註釋As the Fall-Out of the us-led "War on Terror" Continues to destabilize the countries of the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan and its fate are rarely out of the headlines. How did this predominantly Muslim country of 175 million reach this critical state? And what does the future hold in the face of such political and social upheaval? This clear, comprehensive book synthesizes the complex issues facing Pakistan today while remaining cautiously optimistic about the future of a pluralistic naiton caught between civic and military imperatives. Professor Malik examines the country's strategic geopolitical position; the main characters who have shaped the nation; the legacy of Partition and the role of civil society as a force for change; and the parts played by Political Islam and jihadi extremism, and by the West in its use of Pakistan as a buffer state.
