Seen through the lens of the outsider, Pakistan has often been
reduced to a caricature. Its diversity and resilience have rarely
figured in the single-issue focus of recent literature on the country,
be it journalistic or scholarly.
This book seeks to present an
alternate paradigm and to contribute a deeper understanding of
the country’s dynamics that may help explain why Pakistan has
confounded all the doomsday scenarios. It brings together an
extraordinary array of leading experts, including Ahmed Rashid,
Ayesha Jalal and Zahid Hussain, and practitioners, such as the
book’s editor, Maleeha Lodhi, Akbar Ahmed and Munir Akram.
Together they debate their country’s strengths and weaknesses
and offer ways out of its current predicament.
This book provides a picture of how Pakistanis see themselves
and their country’s faultlines and spells out ways to overcome
these. Pakistan’s political, economic, social, foreign policy and
governance challenges are assessed in detail. So too is the
complex interplay between domestic developments
and external
factors including great power interests that are so central to the
Pakistan story and explain the vicissitudes in its fortunes. Lodhi
and her contributors contend that Pakistan and its people have
the capacity to transform their country into a stable, modern
Muslim state, but bold reforms will be needed to bring about
this outcome.
