Pakistan Beyond The Crisis State Book Review | Summary
Pakistan: Beyond The Crisis State book explores Pakistan’s political, economic, social, foreign policy, and governance challenges to provide a more comprehensive paradigm and a deeper understanding of its dynamics.
Diversity and resilience have rarely featured in the single-issue focus of recent literature on Pakistan.
This is an excellent book that reveals the surprisingly calm stability of the country and acts as an antidote to the general perception of Pakistan in the West.
Furthermore, it describes the complex interplay between domestic developments and external factors such as the interest of world powers. These factors are so central to the story of Pakistan and explain its fortunes.
