About this product
Product Information
In recent years Pakistan has emerged as a strategic player on the world stage--both as a potential rogue state armed with nuclear weapons and as an American ally in the war against terrorism. But our understanding of this country is superficial. To probe beyond the headlines, Stephen Cohen, author of the prize-winning India: Emerging Power, offers a panoramic portrait of this complex country--from its origins as a homeland for Indian Muslims to a militarydominated state that has experienced uneven economic growth, political chaos, sectarian violence, and several nuclear crises with its much larger neighbor, India. Pakistan's future is uncertain. Can it fulfill its promise of joining the community of nations as a moderate Islamic state, at peace with its neighbors, or could it dissolve completely into a failed state, spewing out terrorists and nuclear weapons in several directions? The Idea of Pakistan will be an essential tool for understanding this critically important country.

Reviews
"This is an important work, by a leading expert of south Asia... Stephen Cohen is to be applauded for his attempt to contextualise America's current security interests and concerns in Pakistan. He rightly points to the need both to 'probe beyond the headlines' (p 2) and to take the longer view." --Ian Talbot, Economic and Political Weekly (India) , 5/21/2005, "From the distinguished author of INDIA:EMERGING POWER comes a lucid, penetrating and brilliantly constructed book on the state and nation of Pakistan. Cohen, an old South Asia hand, brings to the fore all his knowledge and expertise of one of America's most important allies in the war against terror." --A. Mazumdar, Miami University, Choice , 5/1/2005, "In this book, Stephen P. Cohen, America's most seasoned expert on Pakistan, provides a necessary corrective to the popular, alarmist view that Pakistan is a state on the brink of collapse." --Aqil Shah, Foreign Affairs, "Having left a long and productive career in the academy for the policy-making world, Stephen Philip Cohen is a veteran analyst who knows the difference between complexity and over-simplification, nuance and trivialization." --Ayesha Jalal, Tufts University, The International History Review, "Professor Cohen has produced a dependable, comprehensive history of Pakistan." --Owen Bennett-Jones, Asian Affairs , 11/1/2005, "Interview - two-page spread" --Anil Padmanabhan, New York Bureau Chief, India Today International , 11/29/2004, "THE IDEA OF PAKISTAN is so full of comprehensive, fact-based analysis, and its recommendations so persuasively argued, that it must be required reading for policymakers both in the United States and in India." --Sudheer Apte, DesiJournal , 4/8/2005, "Cohen is the United States' leading analyst of South Asia, and this authoritative work of broad scope and meticulous research will surely become required reading on Pakistan." --Pervez Hoodbhoy, Quaid-e-Azam University, Foreign Affairs , 11/1/2004, "...richly observed and well grounded in both current scholarship and journalism..." --Farzana Shaikh, University of Cambridge, UK, International Affairs , 3/1/2005, "A vital aid to both policymakers and scholars." --Jitendra Nath Misra, Assocate Professor, Georgetown University, World Policy Journal, "A valuable and and essential read for those who want to understand the various complexities of Pakistan's eventful existence. The book offers a solid history of Pakistan that only an observer of Cohen's highly regarded academic background could put together with such skill and lucidity. Cohen knows Pakistan well and his analysis is very perceptive." --Ghazi Salahuddin, Newsline (Karachi, Pakistan) , 5/15/2005, "[A]s Stephen Philip Cohen points out in his fine new book, THE IDEA OF PAKISTAN, the fear that Pakistan could become a center for Islamist revolution 'is widely held in India and, increasingly, America, but it is not accurate.' " --Owen Bennett Jones, Washington Post Book World , 2/6/2005, "Cohen's book is a singularly successful effort to explain Pakistan....The intellectual power and rare insight with which the book breaks through the complexity of the subject rivals that of classics that have explained other societies posing a comparable challenge to understanding." --Touqir Hussain, Senior Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace, The Middle East Journal , 12/1/2005, "Cohen's work is remarkable both for its lucid argument and historically grounded scholarship." --Praveen Swami, Frontline
