The Pakistani state is weak -- unable to fully control all of its own territory -- yet it has a sizable nuclear arsenal. It has been a significant ally of the United States in many respects, yet equally significant segments of the Pakistani population are increasingly Islamist and anti-American.
How do the May elections affect the future of Pakistan and U.S./Pakistan relations? How will U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan impact the region? Could the generations-long conflict between India and Pakistan reignite past tensions?
Join the Council and speakers Dr. Raza Bokhari, who recently returned from a trip to Pakistan, is the past president of the Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee, a vice chairman of the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, and Managing Partner of RBx Capital, LP, and Dr. James G. McGann, Ph.D., Assistant Director of the International Relations Program of the University of Pennsylvania for this timely discussion.
The Council would like to thank The Sabina and Raza Bokhari Foundation for their sponsorship of this event.
