Pakistan's Ethnic Tensions: National and Regional Security Implications

By Mehtab Ali Shah

This book studies the ethnic tensions in Pakistan and their repercussions on its territorial integrity and stability of the multi-ethnic and pivotal state -located at the trijunction of South Asia, South-West Asia and Central Asia. It analyses the causes of the emergence of the ethnic tensions in Pakistan since its inception and their likely course in the future. It demonstrates how the lack of proper representation from different ethnic groups in the decision- making processes of the country has had catastrophic consequences in the nation's past and present.

The book will be highly valuable to scholars, researchers and students of International Relations, Pakistan Studies, Defence Studies, South Asian Politics, and Ethnic Studies, who are interested in the complexities of Pakistan' ethnic problems.
