Mahin Siddiqui's analysis reveals an emerging threat to Pakistan coming from the movement of the Islamic State east toward Kabul.  Given its myriad social, ethnic and religious plurality, Pakistan is the next logical step for the Islamic State.

Siddiqui's policy resolution is sophisticated, yet grounded in realism:  Pakistan's political leadership should seek to reintegrate Pakistan into regional markets to secure a favorable growth strategy, effectively confronting the Islamic State with a strong national Pakistani identity with functioning markets, new capital, and growth, allocating policy flexibility to an emerging threat environment.
