Full textTerrorism is a scourge which has now spread across the globe. The events of the last few years in Sri Lanka, New Zealand, London, France, Pakistan and other cities around the world highlight the fact that terrorism hurt physically and mentally who experience it. Meanwhile, in some areas, discontinuous terrorism is an everyday reality. Terrorism can be stressful for societies in general and business in particular. Until now, there has been scant research focusing on this phenomenon. Hence, this study aims to understand terrorism stress and its influence on job outcomes working in terrorist-ridden areas. Two cities of Pakistan were study setting, as she has suffered from discontinuous terrorism for about two decades. This thesis work has four essays, based on three stress frameworks. The three used are; Stress Framework (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984), ERI Framework (Siegrist, 1998) and COR framework (Hobfoll, 1988). Chapter 1 is about literature review, we explored terrorism and job stressors, and their influence on job outcomes. Afterwards, a qualitative study, 3 separate quantitative studies (Chapter 3, 4 and 5 respectively) were conducted. The qualitative research was based on the literature and semi-structured interviews. It aimed to gain in-depth knowledge about job and terrorism stressors. The study pointed out that the employees at large are exposed to terrorist incidents. The altogether three quantitative studies conjointly found that terrorism stressor and job stressor adversely affect employee health and wellbeing. The thesis concludes with contributions, managerial implications, and directions for future research

Full textThis dissertation presents a case study on the performance of three major Islamic terrorist organizations operating in the region of Kashmir, a region disputed by Pakistan and India from 1989 to 2009. The conflict over Kashmir lasts for more than six decades now and two major wars were fought over its control, in 1947-1948 besides other ephemeral conflicts and clashes. As a practical result of conflict, the territory of Kashmir has been divided between the contenders, the 1972 Line of Control being a reference frontier acknowledged bilaterally. The hypothesis that guides the dissertation argues that, following the guidelines of a Pakistani foreign policy strategy, the “war by proxy”, civil religious Islamic fundamentalists started, in the late eighties, to launch terrorist attacks against authorities and the civilian population of the territory under Indian control. These organizations received the patronage and were controlled by the main military Secret Service of Pakistan, the ISID - Inter-Services Intelligence Directorade. With the support of sectors of the Pakistani state, such as the Secret Service, these terrorist organizations have increased their relative power within Pakistan and in the regional context of Southern Asia, bringing problems related to a growing crisis of governability and sectarian disputes in Pakistan, as well as the spread of transnational terrorist action in the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the root causes of conflict in South Asia that have created the environment in the Afghan Pakistan border areas, which nurtures insurgency. The causes are rooted in the decisions, made by the British Empire in the 19th and 20th centuries, to perpetuate her rule in the Indian subcontinent. A disregard for the history and its impact on the current events has lead to prolonging of U.S. war in Afghanistan. The conclusion is that colonial history of South Asia has shaped current conflicts in Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan. These conflicts have manifested in spawning of terrorism from the region. Ever since the partition of India in 1947 by the British, India and Pakistan remain locked in an enduring conflict over Kashmir. This conflict is tied to destabilization of South Asia, including competition between India and Pakistan over influence in Afghanistan. Thus, the U.S. focus on elimination of al Qaeda is short sighted, as it ignores the reasons for al Qaedas survival in South Asia. Without Pakistans support for the Afghan Taliban and associated terrorist organizations, al Qaeda would not have a sanctuary in South Asia. Without a resolution of the conflict between India and Pakistan, the terrorism problem emanating from South Asia remains a potential threat. Therefore, it is imperative that U.S. policy should expand to include a resolution of India-Pakistan conflict.

Full textPakistan has a peculiar information environment that has not been researched in detail. The dynamics of the information environment have changed in urban areas due to technological advancements; however, the rural areas are still far from the effects of such advancements. This thesis explores the peculiarities of the information environment in Pakistan and draws lessons from the Sri Lankan fight with the LTTE and U.S. efforts to contain terrorism (on U.S. soil) since 9/11. It brings out the root causes of terrorism in Pakistan and the role played by the information environment in strengthening this menace (especially Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan). The thesis is useful in learning the ways and means to optimally utilize the information environment of Pakistan for fighting terrorism. It might also be beneficial in formulating an information policy for Pakistan, for long- and short-term effects.

Full textAs a result of the attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001 then President George W Bush declared a war on terror. Six days later, Bush signed a directive which authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to carry out targeted killings against predefined individuals with the purpose to prevent any future attacks from the terrorist network Al Qaeda, as well as the Taliban and associated forces. In conjunction with the declaration of war president Bush initiated the American practice of so-called "drone strikes" with the intention to eliminate suspected terrorists without access to a fair trial, the practice has continued under the mandate of the Obama-administration. The aim of this study is to examine whether the US legal justification for the use of targeted killings and unmanned aerial vehicles in the war against terrorism can be regarded as compatible with the doctrine of just war theory and applicable international law. Furthermore, the study examines the effects of the US practice on international humanitarian customary law in relation to the civilian population. The U.S. justification of targeted killing is compared with international law to determine the lawfulness from a legal perspective. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the practice is not compatible with the doctrine of just war theory and applicable international law. The use of drones violates international customary law in relation to how they are used under the current conflict.

Mirza, Muhammad Nadeem. "Determinants of the American Foreign Policy towards Pakistan." Thesis, Toulouse 1, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013TOU10031.
Full textThis study intended to find out the factors or determinants that shape the American foreign policy towards Pakistan. Pak-US relations affect the lives of millions of the people around the globe, thus establishing the importance of the study. Pakistan holds a vital position with the American foreign policy dispositions because of: the ongoing war against terrorism, and the American grand designs in the South Asian region. Neoclassical realism as the theoretical paradigm, and the lenses of poliheuristic theory of decision-making were used for the conduct of the study. Two categories of the determinants of the American foreign policy towards Pakistan were pointed out. First, Individual and State level determinants, comprising the American national interest in the region, amoralism, domestic politics and actors, leadership, and democracy promotion in Pakistan. Second, determinants lying at Regional and International level of analysis, namely: the geostrategic importance of Pakistan, Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, power considerations, the Indian factor, Afghanistan and the War against terrorism. The study concludes that the endemic mistrust will prevail among the allies, but that its negative effects will be mitigated by the geostrategic considerations in the region

Full textThis thesis makes the case for a contextualized approach to jihadist violence. From an analysis of politico-religious movements based in Pakistan and engaged in an armed struggle in the disputed territory of Kashmir, it investigates the conditions – related to the historical, political and social context – that can explain this particular form of political radicalization. The argumentation rests on a large analytical spectrum, in terms of timeframe, disciplinary fields and empirical focus. The first hypothesis, of a methodological nature, is that the complexity of the process should be apprehended through an approach mixing the historical sociology of the state and the political sociology of mobilisation. Jihadist movements are indeed understood as being part of a long-term “state-authorized privatization of extra-territorial violence”, a practice that proves to be a structural property of the trajectory of the Pakistani state since 1947. The second hypothesis, based places the focus on the perspective of the army, the militias, and the recruits so as the highlight the ambivalent nature of the relations between these different actors. Links between the military and the militias vary from ideological agreement to “collusive transactions” to conflict. Relations between combatants and armed groups are not stable either. The lack of transitivity between different phases of radicalisation (recruitment, training, self-sacrificial violence) suggests that at each step, the narratives and emotions mobilized by entrepreneurs of violence can clash with those that actually mobilize recruits. Hence the importance of bridging the processual approach of militancy with emotions studies

Full textThe 7 July 2005 London bombings caused shock and awe in the British society not only because of the important number of casualties, but also due to the British citizenship of the bombers. With the exception of Germaine Lindsay, who was of Jamaican descent, all the other members of the cell - Mohammed Siddiq Khan, Shehzad Tanweer and Hussib Hussain - had Pakistani background. The London bombers were not the only British Pakistanis who were involved in acts of terrorism. Before 2005, many went to fight alongside the Pakistani jihadi organisations in Kashmir or plotted against Britain such as the Luton cell in 2004. After 2005, other cells, like the one in Birmingham in 2011, planned attacks on a bigger scale on British soil. The Pakistani origin of the perpetrators, their interest in Kashmir and their paramilitary training in camps belonging to Pakistani jihadi organisations were common features that have raised questions about the nature of violent radicalisation in Britain. This thesis examines the Pakistani dimension of violent radicalisation in Britain by building on social movement theory, especially on Quintan Wiktorowicz’ model, according to which radicalisation is the result of political, socio-economic grievances and ideology. This research is based on ten case studies: three Pakistani jihadi organisations (Lashkar e-Toiba, Harakat ul-Mujahideen and Jaish e-Mohammed), three extremist transnational organisations (Hizb ut-Tahrir, Al-Muhajiroun and Supporters of Sharia) and four South-Asian Islamic mouvements (Ahl e-Hadith, Deobandi, Tablighi Jamaat and Jamaat e-Islami). The thesis shows that there is specifically a Pakistani dimension to the violent islamist radicalisation in Britain due to the colonial history, the conflict in Kashmir, the ‘’war on terror’’ and the military intervention in Afghanistan

After September 11 attacks, South Asian countries became more strategically important on the global war on terrorism because of their geopolitical location and their historical relations with Afghanistan. The US has orchestrated a policy toward South Asia based on the idea of protecting its interest, yet acts differently from time to time. After 2001, the US government realized that success of the war against Taliban in Afghanistan relies on cooperation with India and Pakistan. Consequently it formulated a policy of maintaining balance in its relations toward both countries. By doing so, the US could assure a stable relationship with both India and Pakistan and further promote a peace process between them. This study employs the Strategic Triangle model developed by Realist scholars to explain the dynamic changes of US-India-Pakistan relations. The study finds that there exists a gap between the model’s expected result and its application to empirical cases. Simply put, triangle relationship does not necessarily moves toward manage-a-trios as argued by theorists of strategic triangle.

Pakistan had always been where terrorism flourished and developed in south Asia. Due to historical, political, religious and regional factors, Pakistan had been suffering terrorism. Therefore, after 911 Attack, Pakistan chose to join global anti-terrorism front to declare war against terrorism, and meanwhile, it cooperated with great powers to launch anti-terrorism actions. Basically, the anti-terrorism policy of Pakistan was mainly influenced by great powers such as America, China and India which had different purposes and considerations to support the policy of Pakistan: America hoped that Pakistan could be an anti-terrorism outpost in south Asia to help America strike terrorism. India supported Pakistan to prevent terrorism in Pakistan from spreading to India. China, based on the consideration of regional strategy, thought it could effectively strike and block terrorist attacks of “East Turkestan” by cooperating with Pakistan. The study analyzed the causes, measures and national interests and goals of America, China and India to collaborate with Pakistan to counter terrorism. In addition, through the establishment of bipartite anti-terrorism cooperation, such as meetings of leaders of both parties, military drills, exchanges of anti-terrorism information and so on, the best anti-terrorism results and the greatest cooperation could be determined in the hope that related researches of anti-terrorism strategy in south Asia could be more accurate and be of study values.

Full textPakistan's Directorate of Inter-Service Intelligence [ISI] plays an ambiguous role in the War on Terrorism. An important ally for Western intelligence with whom it has very close links, the ISI also has a long history of involvement in supporting and promoting terrorism in the name of Pakistan's geostrategic interests. This article explores the nature of the ISI and its aims and objectives in the post-9/11 era. It argues that the focus of the ISI's actions are to shore up Pakistan's ruling elite and to destabilize Pakistan's enemies by the promotion of Sunni Islamism at home and of pan-Islamist jihad abroad. The ISI's strategy, however, deeply conflicts with that of the West, a point underlined by the resurgence of Al Qaeda and the Taliban almost six years after the War on Terrorism began. With grave new trends evident in Pakistan, reliance on the ISI is failing and a Western rethink of its intelligence strategy toward Pakistan is now imperative.

This thesis is researching into the cooperation between United States and Pakistan's anti-terrorism, the time range is from 2001 September 11 until 2008, which is the George W. Bush administration and Pakistani's anti-terrorism cooperation. Objects of study are the United States and Pakistan. This research is focus on their interaction and effectiveness, in anti-terrorism cooperation. To examine, how these two countries cooperate on anti-terrorism issue, in such huge differences on economic, political, and religious. How this lack of trust basis cooperation goes on? What were the challenges and difficulties for both countries? What were achieved in 8 years? For South Asia, China and India, what are the influences caused by Anti-terrorism cooperation between the two countries? Especially India, it is one of the most important countries - the largest country in South Asia. Their competitor - Pakistani were cooperate with U.S. on Anti-terrorism. What will India react? This study answers these questions. By researching the cooperation between United States and Pakistan's anti-terrorism, we learned how a powerful country, like United States, uses diplomatic strategies to collaborate with a totally different country, and thus we have a better understanding about international terrorism.

The American use of unmanned aerial vehicles in Pakistan and Yemen has become the sole mechanism to combat al Qaeda and its affiliates. This study evaluates four U.S. counterterrorism goals to determine whether or not drone strikes in these countries can defeat al Qaeda. The four goals are (1) disrupt, degrade, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and its affiliates; (2) eliminate safe havens; (3) build enduring counterterrorism partnerships and capabilities; and (4) counter al Qaeda ideology and its resonance and diminish the specific drivers of violence that al Qaeda exploits. Drones strikes in Yemen and Pakistan do not achieve any of these goals, and in some cases, work against them. They are not effective at eliminating the proper targets, increase anti-American sentiments and the desire for revenge, demonstrate Yemen’s and Pakistan’s incompetence at fighting al Qaeda, and provide al Qaeda with a reverberating message to exploit with propaganda. The U.S. must reform its use of drones in order to truly eliminate al Qaeda as a serious threat to its national security and interests abroad.

After the 9/11 attacks, anti-terrorism has become a primary issue in the U.S. Because of the historical religions and territorial backgrounds of Pakistan in South Asia, many organizations were formed to carry out aggressive activities. The big event in Mumbai of India in 2008, Lashkar-e-Toiba, awakes the world and brings the issue of terrorism to the center of attention. In 2009, the U.S. government of Obama announced a new policy, Afpak strategy, toward South Asia. The strategy is the corporation between U.S., Afghanistan, and Pakistan. However, the new policy is not effective. Because of the continuing conflicts in the border of Afganistan, the terrorist activities in Pakistan have become more and more active. The corporation between Taliban and Al Qaeda and the policy of Pakistan government elevate the threat to the peace in South Asia. Besides, there are four countries which want to become the dominate power in South Asia: U.S., Russia, China and India. Even though each of the four countries attempts to control the terrorist activities in South Asia, there are, so far, no effective solutions due to their competitive status. This thesis suggests that, for the interest of the global peacefulness, the corporation of the four nations is necessary.

Full textA presente dissertação pretende examinar a política de utilização de veículos aéreos não tripulados, comumente conhecidos como drones, da administração dos Estados Unidos da América, sob a égide da Autorização para Uso da Força Militar, como uma ferramenta da estratégia antiterrorista em áreas remotas do globo. Esta pesquisa examina assim como os avanços da tecnologia do armamento afetam profundamente a forma como o conflito é travado, para todas as partes envolvidas, e como a dimensão territorial da guerra vem sendo consideravelmente desvalorizada, dada a capacidade dos UAVs de observar, registar e realizar ataques armados à longa distância, criando uma situação de constante consciência de vulnerabilidade entre os grupos afetados.Ao estudar as áreas tribais administradas pelo governo federal do Paquistão, esta dissertação tenta ilustrar como os processos de definição dos grupos e indivíduos sujeitos aos ataques podem impactar profundamente as minorias que habitam estas áreas, como estes ataques alimentam o círculo vicioso de radicalização numa área já repleta de sentimento antiocidental, e, finalmente, contribuem para o gradual desaparecimento da fronteira afegã-paquistanesa, uma vez que o Estado paquistanês permitiu, propositalmente, uma certa porosidade da sua fronteira com o Afeganistão, devido à sua política de islamização da região. A integridade física das Áreas Tribais administradas pelo governo federal Paquistanês, e a sua população, cresce cada vez mais ameaçada por tensões económicas, étnicas e religiosas, exacerbadas pela constante ameaça dos olhos que tudo vêm dos UAV.
This dissertation attempts to examine the United States’ administration policy for the employment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, commonly known as drones, under the Authorization for Use of Military Force, as a tool to carry on its counterterrorism policy in remote areas of the globe. This research examines how modern warfare technology advancements have deeply affected how conflict is waged, for all parties involved, and how the territorial dimension of war seems to be increasingly disregarded, given UAVs ability to observe, record, and carry on armed strikes from afar, creating a situation of constant consciousness of permanent vulnerability amongst affected groups. By studying the Federally Administrated Tribal Areas of Pakistan, this dissertation attempts to illustrate how profiling processes and exclusionary measures can deeply impact minority groups living thousands of miles away from where UAV attacks are planned, how such attacks fuel the vicious circle of radicalization over an area already splattered with anti-western sentiment and, contribute to the gradual disappearance of the Afghan-Pakistani border, as the Pakistani state has purposefully allowed a certain porosity of its border with Afghanistan due to its Islamisation policy of the region.
