This collection of essays takes a fresh look at the contentious themes of democracy, development, and security in Pakistan today. Arguing that the three are closely interlinked, the editors posit that the political and economic experience of the past 50 years shows that neither democracy nor capitalist development can survive without the other. Using a variety of Pakistani, Indian and Western sources, the distinguished contributors examine the internal and external problems of Pakistan with an eye on the challenges that democracy has encountered in the country. Comprehensive in its treatment of both domestic politics in Pakistan and Indo-Pak relations and covering a large time span, this volume will be welcomed by students and scholars of Pakistan and South Asian studies, international relations, comparative politics, political sociology and economics. - Source: Powell's Books
