Summary/Abstract |
THERE IS perhaps no other political-military elite in the world whose aspirations for great-power regional status, whose desire to overextend and outmatch itself with meager resources, so outstrips reality as that of Pakistan. If it did not have such dire consequences for 170 million Pakistanis and nearly 2 billion people living in South Asia, this magical thinking would be amusing.

Summary/Abstract |
The author identifies three key factors: the resurgence of the Taliban, the leadership of President Karzai and the regional context. The war in Iraq was a costly distraction and it was a mistake to focus nation-building on elections rather than on the strengthening of proper institutions. Economic development, especially agriculture, has not received sufficient attention, with the result that drug production has increased. But there is an increasing recognition that there needs to be some form of conversation with the Taliban. They are now a more sophisticated military organisation, but still an extremely unsophisticated social and political entity. They do not have the answers to Afghanistan's problems. There are many other groups with a stake in the future of the country so any comprehensive negotiation will be very complicated. But it is a positive element that Afghanistan is a tribal society with an enormous capacity for forgiveness.

Summary/Abstract |
This article, written before the recent floods, notes that ever since Independence, problems of identity, national security and ethnicity have contributed to Pakistan's history of instability. As a result the country now faces three crises, firstly a conflict over governance between the military and the civilian politicians; secondly a growing terrorist threat from extremist groups, a threat which the army has been slow to recognise; and thirdly a severe economic crisis which complicates the response to the first two crises. The challenge is to start the process of nation-building and achieve a sustained period of democracy under a civilian government, however imperfect. There are some good signs: a small but increasingly vocal middle class is emerging and the press is becoming more influential. But success will also require policy shifts on security from both the army and India. There is not much sign of movement from either of them.
