Pakistan

After the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., Pakistan became a frontline state in America’s War on Terror, but General-President Pervez Musharraf’s decision to support the U.S. intensified a number of social and political problems that Pakistan has faced since independence. This volume in Greenhaven’s Nations in Transition series outlines the evolution of some of these social and political problems, as well as the challenges Pakistan faces in a rapidly changing international political environment.
