Product Description
Review
'Foreign authors, both journalists and academics, have brought out a number of books on Pakistan recently. This collection of essays edited by Maleeha Lodhi, a former Pakistani ambassador to Britain and America, is timely and different: a look at Pakistan by seasoned, hard-nosed Pakistanis who know the troubled nation from the inside, toil to set it right and don't always agree with each other.' --The Economist
'An excellent book, one that brings out some very important points about the surprising stability of the country beneath the alarmism of the daily headlines, and forms a useful antidote to the general perception about Pakistan in the West.' --Professor Anatol Lieven, King's College London, and author of Pakistan: A Hard Country
'This book provides an extraordinary insight into today's Pakistan, written by its top intellectuals.' --Dr Mohammed Yaqub, former Governor, State Bank of Pakistan

Review
'An excellent book, one that brings out some very important points about the surprising stability of the country beneath the alarmism of the daily headlines, and forms a useful antidote to the general perception about Pakistan in the West."--Professor Anatol Lieven, King's College London 'This book provides an extraordinary insight into today's Pakistan, written by its top intellectuals.' - Dr Mohammed Yaqub, former Governor, State Bank of Pakistan 'This timely study looks beyond the headlines of terrorism and natural disaster that dominate Western perceptions of Pakistan. The contributors argue that contemporary security challenges and longer-term demographic pressures and energy shortages can be overcome if Pakistan possesses the political will to undergo wide-ranging institutional, educational and structural economic reform. The themes of governance and the interconnectedness of domestic politics and international relations run throughout the volume. Historical analysis and policy prescriptions of a high order are combined in a text which should be required reading for those concerned not only with contemporary South Asia but also with global security concerns.' - Professor Ian Talbot, author, Pakistan: A Modern History 'Far removed from the reductive and excessively alarmist rhetoric pervading foreign policy discourse, Pakistan: Beyond the 'Crisis State' offers a sober and comprehensive appraisal of the problems plaguing the Islamic republic. What sets this book apart from others on Pakistan is its detailed account of the country's intractable crises, accompanied by lucid, compelling, and empirically supported policy recommendations that, in a time of tremendous uncertainty, may illuminate a pathway to hope.' - Malou Innocent, Cato Institute, Washington, DC 'Pakistan: Beyond the "Crisis State" is a very different book. It is the work of 19 Pakistani experts, including three former career diplomats, three journalists, a former brigadier general, a historian, a novelist, and a number of social scientists and lawyers. ... The many specialties assembled assure the kind of thorough coverage not possible for any single author.' - Foreign Affairs

Excellent Primer on Pakistan
12 Jan 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent primer on Pakistan, probably the best book available on the country. Although it can be tedious in a few sections, the overall analysis is far better than what is found elsewhere (Lieven's book is also rather good). Lodhi's sections are particularly good. The analysis is fair, and shows an especially clear understanding of the political economic and intellectual challenges facing the country.
