This volume examines the trajectory of Pakistan's democratic
transition and the implications of this change for its security. In
May 2013, for the first time in its 66-year history, Pakistan saw
an elected government complete a full term in office and transfer
power through the ballot box to another civilian government. At
this important moment in Pakistan's history, this collection brings
together twelve leading academics and writers with an aim to
provide a far-reaching analysis of the current situation in
Pakistan and emergent trends. Drawing on history, diverse
theoretical perspectives, and empirical evidence, three themed
sections deal respectively with democratic transition (including
Islam and democracy, civil-military relations, and economics),
contested borders and contested spaces (the Pashtun belt, Kashmir,
and intra-Islamic conflict), and regionalism (bilateral relations
from both Pakistani and Indian perspectives, US-Pakistan relations,
and nuclear weapons dynamics). Together the contributors explore
the status of Pakistan's democratic transition, contemporary
security dynamics, and wider regional security and political
dynamics, and the complex interplay of the three, to provide a
wide-ranging analysis of Pakistan's contemporary national and
regional challenges, its impact on the region, and evidence of some
positive trends for Pakistan's future. The book will be of much
interest to students of South Asian politics, Asian security,
governance, and IR in general as well as policy-makers, diplomats,
and military professionals.
