Routledge

This collection of original essays covers a wide swath of intellectual territory and includes a truly multidisciplinary array of scholarly voices. Considering issues as diverse as non-violent Islamic mass movements, the collection and use of Zaka, the Taliban, and U.S.-Pakistan relations in the post-nuclear test period, Pakistan 2000 represents the best new writing in the field. Brought together by two distinguished scholars with extensive practical experience in Pakistan, this volume will appeal to specialists and others who are interested in foreign affairs in South Asia, Pakistan's relationship with the United States, population studies, economics, and Islamic studies.

Book by Baxter, Craig, Malik, Yogendra K, Kennedy, Charles H, Oberst, Robert C

In 1996, Bangladesh celebrates its 25th anniversary. When the country became independent from Pakistan in 1971, it proclaimed itself a parliamentary democracy with four goals—democracy, secularism, socialism, and nationalism. This comprehensive introduction to Bangladesh's history, polity, economy, and society reassesses its successes and failures in reaching these goals after a quarter century of nationhood.Craig Baxter traces the development of national identity in the region, first as part of India and then of Pakistan, and the slow evolution toward statehood. He also explores the formative periods of Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and British government that preceded Pakistani rule and subsequent independence. Anyone wishing to understand this poor, populous, but ambitious young nation will find this book an invaluable reference.

Bangladesh: From A Nation To A State (NATIONS OF THE MODERN WORLD: ASIA)

This text establishes a sound interdisciplinary context for understanding the political framework of the seven South Asian nations. Making use of the rich comparative possibilities afforded by the subcontinent, the authors consider examples of political development that range from the relatively open, democratic systems of India and Sri Lanka to the occasionally authoritarian governments of Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as the changing traditional polities of Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives.All seven countries face the challenges of nation building, state building, political participation, and economic development; they also share a common political heritage of relations with Great Britain, a connection explored in the introductory chapter. India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are discussed in detail in chapters written by area specialists; Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives are grouped together in a brief overview. Concluding chapters survey the subcontinent as a whole, focusing on regional cooperation and conflict, international relations, and ongoing struggles with authoritarianism and democracy. Each chapter is supplemented with suggested readings.Reflecting new trends in studying comparative politics, the fourth edition has been completely revised according to the structural functional model. Each section treats four major areas of inquiry: political culture and political socialization, interest articulation and interest aggregation, governmental structures, and outputs and outcomes. As with previous editions, this text establishes a sound interdisciplinary context for understanding the political framework of the seven South Asian nations.Designed as a core text for courses on the region, Government and Politics in South Asia will also be valuable for courses in political development and comparative politics.
