Westlessness : the great global rebalancing
The receding of Western power is speeding up, shaking the ground under our feet. In 'Westlessness', Dr Puri vividly demonstrates how in demographic, economic, military and cultural terms, we are hurtling into a far more diverse global future. Many of our certainties about the present, built on centuries of massive Western global impact, are increasingly fragile. Nothing is linear and nothing is predictable. Untold wealth is moving from the West to the East, as nations like India and Indonesia are set to reach new heights of growth and confidence. China continues its ascent to the peak of the economic mountain - but are cracks appearing? BUT will the Western world, (under the aegis of US global military, economic, technological and cultural power) give up its privileged position willingly? Are we ready, professionally and personally, to adapt to a much more diverse global future?

Pakistan's war on terrorism : strategies for combating jihadist armed groups since 9/11
This book examines Pakistan's strategies in the war against Islamist armed groups that began late 2001, following the 9/11 attacks. The significance of the war inside Pakistan can hardly be understated. Starting in the tribal territories adjacent to Afghanistan, Pakistan's war has come to engulf the majority of the country through a brutal campaign of suicide bombings. Thousands of Pakistani lives have been lost and the geostrategic balance of the region has been thrown into deep uncertainty. Pakistan's War on Terrorism is an account of a decade-long war following the 9/11 attacks, that is yet to be chronicled in systematic fashion as a campaign of military maneuver and terrorist reprisal. It is also an analytic account of Pakistan’s strategic calculus during this time, both in military and political terms, and how these factors have been filtered by Pakistan’s unique strategic culture.
