“Pakistan: A Nation in Turmoil?”
Jon Summers, Representative, The Asia Foundation
As Pakistan's military steps up an offensive against the Taliban, what is the true state of affairs within Pakistan? In tribal regions, how does the development of civil society, the judicial system, and local governance differ from the rest of the country? And, how has recent fighting in the Northwest Frontier Province and the tribal belt near the Afghan border impacted the region’s inhabitants? Dr. Jon Summers, an Asia Foundation expert formally based in Islamabad and Kabul, joins the Council to discuss the current situation in Pakistan.
