Beyond the War on Terror: security threat in Pakistan

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
Cross-border terrorism has been on the rise in South Asia, thereby costing lives of thousands civilians and creating an immense security threat. This thesis examines the influence of the Kashmir conflict on Pakistan's political role in the War on Terror. It argues that there exists a counterterrorist gap in the War on Terror due to the spill-over effects of the Kashmir conflict. This has resulted into Pakistan's ambiguous role in the post-9/11 period, which in turn explains the security threat.
