The Flood Disaster in Pakistan: Socio-economic Consequences and Potential Geopolitical Ramifications

As much as one fifth of Pakistan’s total land area was underwater due to the floods in July of this year. Over twenty million have been injured or displaced. As the effects of flooding on the region’s infrastructure and food supply continue to be measured, Imtiaz Gul will address the longer term political and social consequences.

Imtiaz Gul is Executive Director of the Centre for Research and Security Studies in Islamabad. He is the author of three books on the ongoing security concerns in South Asia: The Unholy Nexus, The Al-Qaeda Connection, and The Most Dangerous Place.

Cosponsored by the South Asia Language & Area Center and the Committee on Southern Asian Studies with support from the American Institute of Pakistan Studies.
