Image and Identity: Fifty Years of Painting and Sculpture in Pakistan (The Jubilee Series)

No country, not even a new born, is without a past. Pakistan's past was the thousand year-old history of Muslim India. But in the euphoria following Independence Pakistani, artists turned their backs on all things "Indian" and turned to Europe in search of a new identity. In this absorbing new study, Dr. Akbar Naqvi traces the history of Pakistani art against the background of the Indo-European art of the colonial era and the Mughal and pre-Islamic arts of ancient India. In an increasingly interdependent world, marked by growing numbers of non-governmental organizations and international institutions, American Foreign Environmental Policy presents a forceful argument for the continued relevance of the state to our understanding of international relations. Based on extensive primary research, the book outlines the key role central state officials have played in formulating American foreign environmental policy, concluding that claims about the erasion of state sovereignty, and the diminishing relevance of the domestic-international policy divide, have been overstated. In demonstrating powerfully that the focus of analysis should continue to be on politics inside the institutions of state, the argument nevertheless rejects realist, pluralist, and Marxist, accounts of foreign policy making Akbar Naqvi.
