The Islamic State in the Post-Modern World is a study of the
political development of Pakistan. This study consists of three
parts. The first addresses the concept of the 'state' as it has
evolved historically. The approach is comparative and involves a
brief review of Islamic political theory. The second part of this
section is the modern state, i.e., the Westphalian model. The
territorial state is still the standard although it has been
evolving in new directions for some time. The second section
focuses on the creation of Pakistan as an experiment in bridging
the gulf between the demands of the modern state and the
philosophical-spiritual attraction of the Islamic model. In
addition to constitutional issues, the discussion also includes
political forms, i.e., the machinery of daily government and the
appropriateness of democratic methods, elections, legislative
process, and political parties, to achieve Islamic ends. The third
part considers international issues from the beginning of the
twenty-first century especially the conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Despite its 'partnership' role with the US in the war
on terror, Pakistan has been consistently marginalized. Pakistan's
problems are exacerbated by the conflict over Kashmir, a vestigial
remnant of Pakistan's continuous, and largely unsuccessful, efforts
at self-identification.
