The "World in Focus" series provides an up-to-date view of individual countries around the world. Including discussion of the major challenges facing each country now and in the future, this book gives a real insight into life in Pakistan, a modern Islamic country in which about 96 per cent of the people are Muslim. It has a thriving economy, yet it struggles to cope with its huge and fast-growing population and problems of poverty. Major challenges include negotiations with India over Kashmir, and the ongoing fight against terrorism. Yet with its strategic position between the Middle East and India, Pakistan has an important part to play on the world stage in the future.
