| Summary/Abstract |
Pakistan is becoming increasingly important in international security calculus, and the future trajectory of this nuclear weapons' state on the front line of the 'War on Terror' is of profound significance not only for South Asia but also for the international community. This article introduces an inaugural set of papers from the Pakistan Security Research Unit, established in 2007 at the University of Bradford, UK, focused on the cohesion and stability of Pakistan. The papers look at both the role of external players such as the United States and Afghanistan and at internal dynamics in Pakistan, with a particular emphasis on the role of the Pakistan military, on Kashmir and on jihadis (self-styled holy warriors) in the tribal belt.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Pakistan military has long been considered the one institution in the country that functions sufficiently well to deliver international objectives. It has consequently been the partner of choice for many states, not least the United States. A reading of the history of Pakistan, however, shows that successive military regimes have each led Pakistan into crisis, to the detriment of partners' interests; and far from guaranteeing the cohesion and stability of Pakistan, military rule has more often imperilled it. This article offers an assessment of military rule under General Pervez Musharraf and argues that the unprecedented support offered to Musharraf by the United States, both in material terms and in terms of the political space afforded him, has brought Pakistan once again to the brink of disaster. The lessons are clear: the United States, and the West more generally, needs to place support for democracy and justice in Pakistan above support for narrow conceptions of order, and needs to privilege support for the people of Pakistan over that of support for Pakistan's military government

| Summary/Abstract |
Over the past 10 years, Pakistan has passed through some of the most turbulent and difficult times in its history. The war in Afghanistan post 9/11 has put Pakistan on the front line of the war on terrorism and provoked violent Islamic militancy within Pakistan and some grave policy choices for Pakistan itself. Rivenin addition by the natural disasters of earthquakes and floods and hobbled by political instability, economic woes, and deep social, religious and ethnic divisions, Pakistan has reached a point of great flux with important national and regional changes imminent. This collection of six essays focus on critical elements of this flux - political Islam, militancy and religious minorities, political patronage and democracy, the economic impacts of the floods and Pakistan's relations with the US and its regional foreign policy - to identify key trends which will shape Pakistan's future.

| Summary/Abstract |
The murders of Salmaan Taseer and Shahbaz Bhatti in 2011 shocked Pakistan and the international community, but equally shocking was the widespread support in Pakistan for their killings and their killers. Taseer and Bhatti's 'crime' in the eyes of many was to have supported the amendment or repeal of Islamic 'blasphemy laws' and to have come to the defence of a Pakistani Christian woman, Aasiya Noreen (Bibi), who was sentenced to death for alleged blasphemy. This article seeks to explain the context to the murders of Taseer and Bhatti and to understand why these violent acts received such widespread national support. These murders highlight the worsening situation for Christians (and other religious minorities) in Pakistan and suggest that Pakistan itself may be moving in an increasingly conservative Islamist direction.
