Glossary
International experts analyze Pakistan's security and insurgency issues, looking at the threats posed to and by this nuclear-armed Islamic nation.

His specialties lie in global Islamist movements and Middle Eastern/South Asian region. N. Elahi is Honorary Director of the Centre for Peace and Security Studies at the University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan.
"Pakistan's Quagmire encapsulates Pakistan's current problems and their genesis. It offers a detailed read on issues that occupy considerable space even outside Pakistan such as the army's omni-present role, the Islamists, the existential threat at the hands of al Qaeda and Tehrike Taliban Pakistan, and also puts fears of an Islamist or military re-takeover in a realistic perspective. It is a useful guide and analysis on the present day Pakistan for those interested in this turbulent region." --Imtiaz Gul, author of The Most Dangerous Place: Pakistan's Lawless Frontier
