Pakistan's Provinces

The future of Pakistan's provinces will have a strong bearing on the geopolitics of the entire region and especially on the future of South Asia. Any tension between NWFP and the rest of Pakistan will impact Afghanistan. Problems in Balochistan will affect Afghanistan and Iran. Friction between Punjab and Sindh can cause, in the extreme case, massive refugee influx into India. An analysis of Pakistan's provinces, at this juncture, is thus pertinent and Pakistan’s Provinces does just that. The study begins with a macro overview of Pakistan's economy followed by inter-provincial comparisons that are based on our understanding of Pakistan's economy and society. The subsequent chapters deal with each province separately. Finally, our perspectives are synthesized in an effort to outline future scenarios for Pakistan.
