State and Nation-Building in Pakistan - Bog

This book offers comparative, historicist, and multidisciplinary views on the role of identity politics in the development of Pakistan. Bringing together perspectives on the dynamics of state-building, the book provides insights into contemporary processes of national contestation, and highlights how ethnicity and identity politics are an enduring marker in Pakistani politics, and why they are increasingly powerful and influential. This book on Pakistan will be a useful contribution to South Asian Politics, South Asian History, and Islamic Studies.
