On Tuesday 29 September, Sir Hilary Synnott, Consulting Senior Fellow, IISS launched his new Adelphi Book 'Transforming Pakistan: Ways out of instability'.
In his new book , Sir Hilary, a former British High Commissioner to Pakistan, argues that any strategy for addressing the country’s problems must take account of its turbulent history, the failings of successive governments and the weaknesses of core institutions. He sheds light on the role of Pakistan’s army and its intelligence service in the power-play of domestic politics, and looks at how the army has used religion and the issue of Kashmir to maintain its own influence, often with disastrous consequences for the security of Pakistan and the wider world.
"...a thorough and admirably clear description..." Douglas Hurd.
"...A brilliant and badly needed analysis.... a superb job in making us see the reality and trends..." Ahmed Rashid.
