This thoroughly revised and updated edition of the Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Pakistan offers an accessible yet comprehensive guide to understanding one of the most strategically located and complex countries in the world. It offers a comprehensive overview of the country and its myriad challenges.
Bringing together a group of leading international scholars on Pakistan, this second edition expands on the first by covering the country’s political, social and economic evolution, splitting the topics into the following sections:
- Foundations and Identity
- Politics and Institutions
- Education, Gender and Climate
- Islam and Islamization
- Economy and Development
- Military and Jihad
- External Relations and Security
The handbook shows that Pakistan’s crises have only exacerbated since the publication of the first edition. It is a cutting-edge and interdisciplinary resource for those interested in studying Pakistani politics, economics, culture and society and South Asian Studies.
Aparna Pande is the Director of the Initiative on the Future of India and South Asia at the Hudson Institute. She completed her PhD in Political Science at Boston University. Aparna Pande's books include Explaining Pakistan’s Foreign Policy: Escaping India (Routledge, 2010).
