The papers in this volume are an outcome of the research collaboration "Ideas, Issues and Questions of Nation-Building in Pakistan." Since 2012 Hanns Seidel Foundation Pakistan and the Departments of Anthropology, History and Sociology, the Centre for Excellence in Gender Studies and the National Institute of Pakistan Studies at Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad have worked together on different focal themes within this larger framework. An international workshop and a lecture series provide platforms for sustained discussions on issues pertaining to nation-building. The award of research grants to students seeks to support and promote empirical research in Pakistan.
