From Jinnah to Jihad: Pakistan’s Kashmir Quest and the Limits of Realism

This book, which originated as the author’s Princeton thesis, analyzes Pakistani domestic politics and the Kashmir dispute in the context of international-relations theory by focusing on Pakistan’s national ideology and the evolution of civilian-military relations since the country’s formation.
