Pakistan today is a product of its past. Particularly the Islamic imprint of the Zia period that still impacts on its socio-political period that still impacts on its socio-political stability. The book therefore begins with the advent of General-turned-president Ziaul Haq in Pakistan. It also examines Islamization of the Pakistan Army.
One chapter deals with the Kashmir centric orientation to foreign policy-the core issue. The next examines Pakistan’s relations with Nepal and how it impinges on Indian security interests. It forms part of Islamabad’s foreign policy to develop close ties with the smaller states in South Asia to counter New Delhi’s pre-eminence in the region.
