| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article traces a possible link between radicalisation and poverty in Pakistan by surveying 1147 respondents, consisting of a poor sample universe compared with more affluent control groups. All the provinces of Pakistan were included in the sample universe, with the findings centred on an analytical discourse of poverty in North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Balochistan province, which have given rise to escalating militancy. The analysis engages with relevant literature to argue for the development of sub-nationally researched, fresh perspectives on linkages between poverty and radicalisation in Pakistan. |
