Reviews

[Pakistan at the Crossroads] provides detailed insight into the myriad internal challenges facing Pakistan and the tensions characterizing its diplomatic relations with neighbors and Great Powers.... useful for anyone who wants to understand the reasons behind Pakistan's current predicament.... Recommended,

Saeed Shafqat, president, Population Association of Pakistan:
Pakistan at the Crossroads provides a diverse collection of articles from a vast array of reputable scholars who have a deep understanding of and knowledge about Pakistan. The contributors imaginatively and incisively venture to explain the disabilities, constraints, and missed opportunities of Pakistani civil and military regimes that could reinvigorate deliberation and dialogue. This multiplicity of views and interpretations and the multidisciplinary content and analysis is the real strength of this multiauthored work.

Anatol Lieven, Georgetown University Qatar, author of Pakistan: A Hard Country:
Pakistan at the Crossroads is a fresh and important contribution to the understanding of Pakistan, a country that for the foreseeable future will remain critical both to the struggle with Islamist extremism and to the geopolitics of Asia.
