Political Conflict in Pakistan
Mohammad Waseem, Lahore University of Management Sciences, Pakistan
This book addresses the issue of political instability in the country. While Pakistan is
moving into the second decade of the 21st century, its long-standing conflicts have
acquired a new level of intensity and brutality. This not only threatens the sovereign
existence of the country but also demonstrates its potential of destabilizing the
regional order. The book brings out the dynamics of conflict in the state and society
and explores the potential for conflict transformation in the foreseeable future.

TEXTBOOK
Politics in India
Structure, Process and Policy
Subrata K. Mitra, University of Heidelberg, Germany
A comprehensive analysis of the broad spectrum of India’s
politics, the book explains the key feature of Indian politics
in a comparative and accessible narrative, illustrated with
relevant maps, life stories, statistics and opinion data. Using
familiar concepts of comparative politics the book highlights
the policy process, with a focus on anti-poverty measures,
liberalisation of the economy, nuclearisation and relations
with the United States and Asian neighbours such as
Pakistan and China. While managing to introduce the novice
to India, this accessible, genuinely comparative account of
India’s political evolution also engages the expert in a deep
contemplation of the nature of strategic manoeuvring within India’s domestic and
international context.
