REIMAGINING PAKISTAN
Salman Rushdie once described Pakistan as a ‘poorly imagined country’. Indeed, Pakistan has meant different things to different people since its birth seventy years ago. Armed with nuclear weapons and dominated by the military and militants, it is variously described around the world as ‘dangerous’, ‘unstable’, ‘a terrorist incubator’, and ‘the land of the intolerant’.
Much of Pakistan’s dysfunction is attributable to an ideology tied to religion and to hostility with the country out of which it was carved’ India. But 95 percent of Pakistan’s 210 million people were born after Partition, as Pakistanis, and cannot easily give up on their homes. In his new book, Husain Haqqani, one of the most important commentators on Pakistan in the world today, calls for a bold re-conceptualization of the country. Reimagining Pakistan offers a candid discussion of Pakistan’s origins and its current failings, with suggestions for reconsidering its ideology, and identifies a national purpose greater than the rivalry with India.

REIMAGINING PAKISTAN
Pakistan has meant different things to different people since its birth seven decades ago. Armed with nuclear weapons and dominated by the military and militants, it is variously described around the world as dangerous, unstable, a terrorist incubator and the land of the intolerant. Much of Pakistans dysfunction is attributable to an ideology tied to religion and to hostility with the country out of which it was carved out India. But 95 per cent of Pakistans 210 million people were born after Partition, as Pakistanis, and cannot easily give up on their home. In his book, Husain Haqqani; one of the most important commentators on Pakistan in the world today; calls for a bold re-conceptualization of the country. Reimagining Pakistan offers a candid discussion of Pakistans origins and its current failings, with suggestions for reconsidering its ideology, and identifies a national purpose greater than the rivalry with India.

‘A well – written and authoritative account from someone who knows Pakistani politics from the inside’.
-Peter Bergen, CNN Terrorism Analyst and author of the bestselling Holy War Inc; Inside the Secret World of Osama Bin Laden‘We are in Husain Haqqani’s debt for providing an authoritative account of the linkages between Pakistan’s powerful Islamists and its professional army. He conclusively demonstrates that these ties are long-standing, complex and very troubling. This brilliantly researched and written book should be required reading for anyone who wishes to understand this increasingly important state’.

Author of The Idea of Pakistan and the Pakistan ArmyHusain Haqqani’s Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military analyzes the origins of the relationships between Islamism groups and Pakistan’s military, and explores Pakistan’s quest for identity and security. Tracing how Pakistan’s military has sought U.S. support by making itself useful for concerns of the moment – while continuing to strengthen the mosque – military alliance within the country – Haqqani offers an alternative view of political developments in Pakistan since the country’s independence in 1947.
