Pakistan

"'This book brilliantly examines the history of governance in Pakistan and focuses on the critical aspects of country’s institutional growth. It’s emphasis on the centrality of criminal justice system & rule of law offers readers a very important perspective. The book provides the challenge of terrorism that Pakistan faced for many decades now as a test case of how state institutions responded to this ugly episode. His analysis and prescriptions for governance reform efforts in Pakistan offers much needed clarity and wisdom. Syed Azhar Hassan Nadeem’s incisive observations, rich experience as a public servant and intellectual approach makes it a very valuable narrative. It builds on his earlier acclaimed works on law enforcement, politics and justice and is highly recommended as a text book.' —Dr. Hassan Abbas, Distinguished Professor of International Relations at NESA, National Defense University, Washington DC.
