This book analyzes the paradox that despite being a national
security state, Pakistan has become even more insecure in the
post-Cold War era. It provides an in-depth analysis of Pakistan's
foreign and security policies and their implications for the
overall state and society. The book identifies the immediate
security challenges to Pakistan and charts the distinctive
evolution of Pakistan's national security state in which the
military elite became the dominant actor in the political sphere of
government during and after the Cold War period. By examining the
national security state, militarization, democracy and security,
proxy wars, and the hyper-military-industrial complex, the author
illustrates how the vanguard role of the military created
considerable structural, sociopolitical, economic, and security
problems in Pakistan. Furthermore, the author argues that the
mismatch between Pakistan's national security stance and the
transformed security environment has been facilitated and sustained
by the embedded interests of the country's military-industrial
complex. A critical evaluation of the role of the military in the
political affairs of the government and how it has created
structural problems for Pakistan, this book will be of interest to
academics in the field of South Asian Politics and Security, South
Asian Foreign and Security Policy, International Relations, Asian
Security, and Cold War Studies.
