Special Series: Countries In Crisis

On Nov. 18, 2008, Stratfor launched the first in a series of special reports on countries we anticipate being under massive pressure and change in the months ahead. Our intent is to confer to our readership the depth of crisis in three specific states as each struggles with the titanic forces arrayed both against and within it. We began with Ukraine and will move on to Mexico and then Pakistan.
