viii, 258 pages ; , This book provides an extensive overview of Pakistan's response towards terrorism under the General Pervez Musharraf-led military regime from 2001 to 2008. With the changing geo-political environment, the study argues Pakistan cannot deal with terrorism by piecemeal steps. An effective response necessitates a holistic, multi-dimensional and sustainable counter-terrorism policy that may entail redefining the role of the state as a facilitator of both traditional and non-traditional security concerns of the people of Pakistan. < The central question addressed is, "How did the Musharraf government respond to terrorism in post 9/11 Pakistan, and did its response amount to the continuity of or a change in the country's traditional national security policy?" What military, political, social, economic and cultural reforms were introduced by the Musharraf regime as part of his internal security policy and reform agenda? Was there congruence between Pakistan's external security policy and internal security policy contrived to fight the threat of terrorism? What specific steps did the Musharraf government take to ensure citizen security, to combat terrorism within the state and do remodel foreign policy? And finally, did 9/11 and the emergence of threats to international peace perceived by the international order from non-state actors inform and change Pakistan's traditional national security doctrine? The book aims to fill this gap by deconstructing and analysing the actual steps taken by the Musharraf regime to combat the evolving menace of terrorism. In doing this, it aims to provide a vantage point for assessing and planning future policy on countering terrorism. The conceptual framework proposed by this study is based on the critical analysis of the existing literature on the subject of security at the international, regional and national levels, while staying within the Westphalian system of Weberian states. Thus, state remains the unit of analysis and referent object of security and in starting out to understand the behaviour of the Pakistani state. The book conceives an integrated framework of security with an added emphasis on the citizen as the prime consumer and beneficiary of the state's national security framework. Hence, aiming to go beyond Pakistan's traditional national security policy framework. 23 cm.

The Thistle and the Drone : how america's war on terror became a global war on tribal Islam

By Ahmed, Akbar.
Lahore & Washington DC Vanguard Books (Pvt) Ltd. & Brookings Institution Press 2013 .
424 pages , 'A groundbreaking and startling book ... It should be required reading for those working in the media, policy-making and education-and, indeed, for anybody who wishes to understand our tragically polarized world'-Karen Armstrong The United States declared war on terrorism in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. More than ten years later, the results are decidedly mixed. In The Thistle and the Drone, Akbar Ahmed reveals a tremendously important yet largely unrecognized adverse effect of these campaigns: they actually have exacerbated the already-broken relationship between central governments and the tribal societies on their periphery. Drawing on forty case studies, this groundbreaking analysis demonstrates that it is the conflict between the centre and the periphery and the involvement of the United States that has fuelled the war on terror. No one is immune to this violence - neither school children, nor congregations in their houses of worship. Battered by military or drone strikes one day and suicide bombers the next, people on the periphery say, 'Every day is like 9/11 for us.' About the author (2013) Akbar Ahmed is the Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University in Washington, D.C. He was the former Pakistani high commissioner to the United Kingdom, the first Distinguished Chair of Middle East Studies at the U.S. Naval Academy, and is a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Among his previous books are Journey into Islam and Journey into America. He is also a published poet and playwright.

HINDUTVA: The rise of the fourth reich

By HAFEEZ,FOUAD.
Lahore VANGUARD BOOKS 2022 .
101 pages , The A hundred years ago, when hitler's third reich was little more than a nebulous concept of nationhood based qn racial inequality and exclusion, perhaps no one might have thought that the name of the individual and his "empire" would come to be associated with the gravest notions of immorality, atrocity, and ruination, in the history of mankind. it is perhaps for this very reason that the fourth reich -in india, under hindutva- will never actually claim such a title for itself. This is little other than semantics, of course. Let there be no doubts at all,; irrespective of the name it might choose for itself, the fourth reich is alive and well, and growing ever more powerful, and polemical, with each passing day. it is, thus, high time we awakened ourselves to - and are outraged by - the unspeakable acts of cruelty in the name of religion that are transpiring in india under the watchful eye of the fourth reich, today. The absence of opprobrium and censure to what we are witnessing today, will only render us liable to be judged by those that will inevitably follow us, for maintaining the most damning sort of neutrality in this time of moral crisis. We will be judged by history. we must never allow that to happen. The Fouad Hafeez is a retired soldier and former defence attache of Pakistan to Jordan. In addition to this maiden book, the author has written on international relations, defence and security, and contemporary affairs in a number of new. spapers. He contributes articles to â€” and was the first editor of â€”Pakistan's premier military history Bugle and Trumpet. An avid car enthusiast, dog owner, aquarist and gadabout; the author has been happily married for the past 30 years. He and his wife, Saima, share three children; Shazaa, Shayaan, and Mahnum, and from his eldest daughter, he's also the grandfather to his one year old granddaughter, Zoha. He resides in Rawalpindi, Pakistan; where he works as the director of a research 9789694026510
