Description
This collection of original essays covers a wide swath of intellectual territory and includes a truly multidisciplinary array of scholarly voices. Considering issues as diverse as non-violent Islamic mass movements, the collection and use of Zaka, the Taliban, and U.S.-Pakistan relations in the post-nuclear test period, Pakistan 2000 represents the best new writing in the field. Brought together by two distinguished scholars with extensive practical experience in Pakistan, this volume will appeal to specialists and others who are interested in foreign affairs in South Asia, Pakistan's relationship with the United States, population studies, economics, and Islamic studies.
Reviews / Votes
Pakistan 2000 is a beneficial addition to the scholarly literature on Pakistan at a time [after the events of September 11, 2001] when uncertainty abounds concerning that country's future. . . . Larry Goodson's chapter ("Foreign Policy Gone Awry: The Kashnikovization and Talibanization of Pakistan") is exceptionally timely, not only for its detailed background on Pakistani and American involvement in support of the Taliban from 1994 onward but also for its perceptive analysis of the tremendous impact Afghan involvement has had on Pakistan in terms of guns, violence, drugs, and fundamentalist Islamic activism. * Journal of Asian Studies *More details
