N2  - Charts the problems that have beset Pakistan since its birth in 1947. Examines the entrenched difficulties of the new State against the background of colonial rule, conflicting regional and cultural interests and the collapse of Indo-Pakistan relations after Partition. Successive regimes are then reviewed in the light of these and other problems, which have served to undermine democracy and consolidate the hegemony of the military and other unelected instiutions. Following the establishment of Bangladesh in 1971 - the 'second Partition' - the rise and fall of subsequent regimes are analysed up to the coming to power of Nawaz Sharif
