Challenges and Impacts of Terrorism in Pakistan: A Post-9/11 Study
Abstract
Terrorism emerged as a transnational security threat after 9/11. To make peaceful and free arrangement at the regional and global level became priority of the international world. Afghanistan appeared to be the center stage and Pakistan being adjacent to Afghanistan significantly emerged as a reliable partner. For this reason, it faced multifaceted challenges by joining the U.S. and its allies in fighting the war against terrorism in Afghanistan. This war was fought at Pakistan’s borders and its adjoining tribal areas thus, it had to face the socio-political and economic consequences. Furthermore, the sense of deprivation among society led to the policy of revenge which gave impetus to the issues of violence and threat within the country. Pakistan incorporated indigenous blood and conducted military operations in tribal areas, along with the institutional building, and reform packages. This paper presents a critical review of the causes and impact of terrorism from the global, regional and domestic perspective in the post-9/11 scenario.
