Pakistan in 2019: navigating major power relations amid economic crisis / Lalwani, Sameer   Journal Article
Lalwani, Sameer Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Relatively prudent foreign policy maneuvers stole the headlines in 2019, overshadowing Pakistan’s downward economic spiral and political decay. The Imran Khan government made the most of extra-regional strategic opportunities with the US and China while weathering a collapsing bilateral relationship with India. Officials struggled to arrest a mounting economic crisis. The state further accelerated the long-term corrosion of Pakistan’s political institutions with threats to federalism, suppression of opposition elements, and greater space for the military at the expense of civilians.

Politics and threat perception: explaining Pakistani military strategy on the North West Frontier / Staniland, Paul; Mir, Asfandyar; Lalwani, Sameer   Journal Article
Staniland, Paul Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Analysts and policymakers agree that the Pakistani military has engaged in selective repression of and collusion with armed groups. Yet beyond this general observation, fine-grained theory and evidence do not exist to systematically explain patterns of military strategy across groups and over time. This paper provides a theoretical framework for explaining regime perceptions of armed groups and the strategies state security managers pursue toward different types of groups. It then probes this framework using a combination of new medium-N data on military offensives, peace deals, and state–group alliances in Pakistan’s North West and four comparative case studies from North and South Waziristan. We argue that the Pakistani military—the key state institution in this context—has assigned armed groups to different political roles reflecting both their ideological affinity with the military and the operational benefits they can provide to the army. This mixture of instrumental and ideological motivations has created a complex blend of regime threat perceptions and state–group interactions across space and time. A clearer understanding of how the military views Pakistan’s armed political landscape can inform policy debates about the nature of Pakistani counterinsurgency, as well as broader theoretical debates about order and violence.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Given India’s dependence on and trust in Russia, US attempts to deter India–Russia arms transactions and compel India to phase out Russian systems are unlikely to work.
