Dynamics of territorial justification: an analysis of Pakistan’s claims over Kashmir / Dar, Latief Ahmad   Journal Article
Dar, Latief Ahmad Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Territorial conflicts have been among the most important fallouts of the modern nation states, with the states advancing different kinds of justifications to claim the territory in conflict. These justifications play an important role in shaping the actions of the states and the solutions thereof. The states propound their claims on ethnic, strategic, geographic proximity, economic and religious considerations. As a result, there is an acute need to study the territory in conflict, not in terms of objective attributes but as outcome of a dynamic relationship that exists between an area, social processes and ideologies that give it meaning. This dynamic relationship is visible in the territorial justifications that Pakistan has raised over Kashmir. The justifications put forward by Pakistan are not grounded in a particular claim like the two-nation theory, but they have varied with time to hide underlying economic, geostrategic and other related motives in changing global and domestic context. Shifting the claims from religious to strategic or economic basis affects the nature of the solutions envisioned. The solutions in context of changing claims go beyond Pakistan’s officially held position of United Nations sponsored plebiscite.
