Historical Dictionary of Pakistan: History, Political System, Economy, Social and Cultural Conditions Since its creation in 1947, Pakistan has repeatedly been in the news due to its frequent and turbulent internal upheavals which include military coups, internal dissension, and economic successes and setbacks. Pakistan has also been involved in its share of dramatic external events; the country's partition, its wars with India, the Afghan resistance, to name a few. Given its size and location, Pakistan plays an important role both in South Asia and in the Islamic world. Thus, events in Pakistan can have a very significant impact in the region and sometimes farther afield. These facts under grid the value of the Historical Dictionary of Pakistan. The book reaches back into history to explain how and why Pakistan was founded; it sheds light on the country's economy and political system; it provides insight into its social and cultural conditions; it profiles the sometimes towering figures who have led the country. And it does so through concise and informative entries organised in an easy-to-refer A-to-Z format. The information packed in the dictionary is placed in context by a chronology and the author's over-arching introduction. A rich bibliography offers guidance to those seeking more detailed information on different aspects of Pakistan.

Turkmenistan is known for its huge oil and gas resources, as well as for the rich, complex, and captivating history of the Turkmen people. For centuries they were known as skillful and courageous warriors who left deep marks in the histories of other countries, such as India, Russia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt. As craftsmen, they constructed extraordinary architectural monuments, whose ruins can be found all over the country, and famous Turkoman carpets are still highly valued in many parts of the world. Yet, for centuries, foreign invaders and local tribal conflict plagued the land with wars that devastated the Turkmen society and destroyed its magnificent but fragile oases. In the late 19th century, the Turkmens witnessed the establishment of the Russian Empire in their lands. In the years following, these lands were united by the Soviet government into a single political entity in an attempt to force the Soviet style nation-state building and socio-economic transformations. In 1991, the Turkmen parliament voted for the country's independence and promised to build a sovereign state capable of bringing prosperity and social and political stability to the society. The reality, however, proved to be more complex. After more than 15 years of independence, Turkmenistan still faces a number of difficulties, including economic and structural issues, security challenges, growing competition between various clans, and widespread poverty. Historical Dictionary of Turkmenistan provides a concise overview of the historical development of Turkmenistan. The introduction and chronology provide an overview of the Turkmen history, focusing on the history of the country in the 20th century, political and economic development, ethnic policies, and nation building. This is the first comprehensive reference book on Turkmenistan published in English that provides comprehensive up-to-date details about the contemporary history, economy, and culture. The dictionary consists of approximately 300 entries a
