Pakistan: The State of the Union is the report produced by Selig Harrison of the Center for International Policy, Washington D.C. www.ciponline.org. The GPIPD  was part of the working group and contributed the paper, "The Pashtuns and the Future of the Pakistan Federation" to the Report. An extract from the Report and link to the full Report is given below.

"Pakistan is viewed in U.S. foreign policy debates almost entirely in terms of the terrorist

threat posed by the growing Islamist forces there to the international community, to

Afghanistan, and to the stability of the Pakistani state. This single-minded focus ignores

a broader and more fundamental issue that cuts across the struggle between Islamist

and secular forces: whether the multi-ethnic Pakistan federation, torn by growing

tensions between a dominant Punjabi majority and increasingly disaffected Baluch,

Sindhi and Pashtun ethnic minorities, can survive in its present form without basic

political and economic reforms."
