Editorial Reviews

Review

Pakistan 2000 is a beneficial addition to the scholarly literature on Pakistan at a time [after the events of September 11, 2001] when uncertainty abounds concerning that country's future. . . . Larry Goodson's chapter ("Foreign Policy Gone Awry: The Kashnikovization and Talibanization of Pakistan") is exceptionally timely, not only for its detailed background on Pakistani and American involvement in support of the Taliban from 1994 onward but also for its perceptive analysis of the tremendous impact Afghan involvement has had on Pakistan in terms of guns, violence, drugs, and fundamentalist Islamic activism.
