Drivers of Long-term Insecurity and Instability in Pakistan: Urbanization. RAND Corporation: Santa Monica, California, USA. Paperback. 88 pp. $18.00. ISBN/EAN: 9780833087508 Drivers of Long-term Insecurity and Instability in Pakistan: Urbanization provides a brief yet vivid examination of the key trends in the country’s urbanization and their potential implications on its political and internal security challenges, from a global perspective. The book comprises six chapters. Chapter 1 outlines the project background and study methodology. It states that urbanization has significantly changed Pakistan’s political landscape; however, there is a lack of information on the topic, leading to this study by the RAND Corporation. The research question is: ‘What are the most salient observations about Pakistan’s urbanization, in relation to the nation’s electoral politics, likelihood of governmental stability or reform, and security challenges directed at both domestic and global targets?’ The work specifically studies three provincial capital cities: Karachi, Lahore and Quetta. It relies on published data sets on population, linguistic distribution, voting behaviour, literacy and citizen’s perceptions of the economic situation
