  • People's Perceptions from Jabal El-Hussein to Zarqa Camps. An
    Centre for Middle Eastern Studies People’s perceptions from Jabal el-Hussein to Zarqa camps. An analysis of access to water and inequalities in two Palestinian refugee camps of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Middle Eastern Studies Author: Giorgia Gusciglio Advisor: Lina Eklund Examiner: Date: Spring 2018 1 Acknowledgments The accomplishment and realization of this thesis was possible thanks to the support of a variety of people who believed in me, not only during this last step towards finishing my studies, but throughout all my life. First and foremost, my parents and my sister Michela who have been accepting all the crazy choices I made, although with a bit of concern. I am deeply grateful for the sacrifices my parents did and their valuable guidance. I am deeply thankful for my grandparents, two of them left us last year, but the teachings and love they gave me will stay with me forever. To my big family goes all my love. To my best friends, Aurora and Mariavittoria, whose constant love, support and acceptance of who I am, despite time changed us, make me believe in true friendship. To Beatrice, Francesca and Marta, thank you for three beautiful years in Trento and for your friendship, contact and care since then, despite distance and Italian trains connections. This achievement was also possible thanks to those people I met since I started the Master at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Lund University. The same interest and struggles we faced has brought us together, but what we built, I hope, is a long-lasting friendship.

    Pakistan’s ‘Mainstreaming’ Jihadis Vinay Kaura, Aparna Pande The emergence of the religious right-wing as a formidable political force in Pakistan seems to be an outcome of direct and indirect patron- age of the dominant military over the years. Ever since the creation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in 1947, the military establishment has formed a quasi alliance with the conservative religious elements who define a strongly Islamic identity for the country. The alliance has provided Islamism with regional perspectives and encouraged it to exploit the concept of jihad. This trend found its most obvious man- ifestation through the Afghan War. Due to the centrality of Islam in Pakistan’s national identity, secular leaders and groups find it extreme- ly difficult to create a national consensus against groups that describe themselves as soldiers of Islam. Using two case studies, the article ar- gues that political survival of both the military and the radical Islamist parties is based on their tacit understanding. It contends that without de-radicalisation of jihadis, the efforts to ‘mainstream’ them through the electoral process have huge implications for Pakistan’s political sys- tem as well as for prospects of regional peace. Keywords: Islamist, Jihadist, Red Mosque, Taliban, blasphemy, ISI, TLP, Musharraf, Afghanistan Introduction In the last two decades, the relationship between the Islamic faith and political power has emerged as an interesting field of political anal- ysis. Particularly after the revival of the Taliban and the rise of ISIS, Author. Article. Central European Journal of International and Security Studies 14, no. 4: 51–73.

  • Civil Service Reforms Unit Draft Position Paper on Creation of District Service
    CIVIL SERVICE REFORMS UNIT DRAFT POSITION PAPER ON CREATION OF DISTRICT SERVICE General. Reconstruction of the Civil Service is an essential prerequisite for the effective performance of core government functions at all levels. Implementation of the Devolution Plan will remain incomplete without the restructuring of Civil Services at Federal, Provincial and District levels, including Tehsil. 2. In keeping with the bottom-up approach, the CSRU envisages a two- phased project. The First Phase being focused on the creation of District Services through legislation, and Phase Two would consider the broader agenda of linkages with the Provincial government, through administrative instructions and Rules of Business. 3. The purpose of this Concept Paper is:- a. To identify the basic Strategic Direction, for the creation of district service. b. Develop recommendations that address the fundamental issues of effective devolution of administrative functions to the district and tehsil levels. c. Having created an atmosphere of acceptability, involve the Provincial governments in formulating an implementation plan for gradual introduction of the District Service in the provinces. d. An extremely important adjunct to the above steps is, a detailed analysis of existing service structures, and propose a new legal and institutional framework for District Service. 4. Consensus Building. In order to build a consensus regarding creation of a district service, it is imperative that a clear demarcation of areas of influence between various stake holders are identified. These are:- a. Provincial Governments. (1) Constitutional Right. Provinces, legally speaking, have all the constitutional right to organize and structure the District Service 1 as they want. Thus the basic structure of a district service must come from the provinces.

  • Research Notes
    RESEARCH NOTES The Washington Institute for Near East Policy ■ No. 38 ■ Oc t ober 2016 How to Secure Mosul Lessons from 2008—2014 MICHAEL KNIGHTS N EARLY 2017, Iraqi security forces (ISF) are likely to liberate Mosul from Islamic State control. But given the dramatic comebacks staged by the Islamic State and its predecessors in the city in I2004, 2007, and 2014, one can justifiably ask what will stop IS or a similar movement from lying low, regenerating, and wiping away the costly gains of the current war. This paper aims to fill an important gap in the literature on Mosul, the capital of Ninawa province, by looking closely at the underexplored issue of security arrangements for the city after its liberation, in particular how security forces should be structured and controlled to prevent an IS recurrence. Though “big picture” politi- cal deals over Mosul’s future may ultimately be decisive, the first priority of the Iraqi-international coalition is to secure Mosul. As John Paul Vann, a U.S. military advisor in Vietnam, noted decades ago: “Security may be ten percent of the problem, or it may be ninety percent, but whichever it is, it’s the first ten percent or the first ninety percent. Without security, nothing else we do will last.”1 This study focuses on two distinct periods of Mosul’s Explanations for both the 2007–2011 successes and recent history. In 2007–2011, the U.S.-backed Iraqi the failures of 2011–2014 are easily identified. In the security forces achieved significant success, reducing earlier span, Baghdad committed to Mosul’s stabilization security incidents in the city from a high point of 666 and Iraq’s prime minister focused on the issue, authoriz- per month in the first quarter of 2008 to an average ing compromises such as partial amnesty and a reopen- of 32 incidents in the first quarter of 2011.

  • D-Company and the 1993 Mumbai Bombings: Rethinking a Case of ‘Crime-Terror Convergence’ in South Asia
    Mahadevan – D-company & 1993 Mumbai Bombings 54 The European Review of Organised Crime Original article D-Company and the 1993 Mumbai Bombings: rethinking a case of ‘crime-terror convergence’ in South Asia Prem Mahadevan* Abstract: In 1993, a transnational crime organization known as D-Company carried out mass-casualty terrorist bombings in Mumbai, India. The reasons for this action have been attributed to religious grievances. However, little attention has been given to the role played by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence in supporting the bombings. Taking into account what has emerged in the public domain over the last 28 years regarding ISI links with D-Company and with international jihadist groups more generally, a re-assessment of the 1993 bombings is required. Hitherto regarded as an example of ‘crime-terror convergence’, it appears that D-Company might be more aptly considered an instrument of covert action. Keywords: Terrorism, heroin, gold, intelligence, covert operations. * Prem Mahadevan is Senior Analyst, Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime. Email: [email protected] The European Review of Organised Crime 6(1), 2021, pp. 54-98. ISSN: 2312-1653 © ECPR Standing Group of Organised Crime. For permissions please email: [email protected] 54 Mahadevan – D-company & 1993 Mumbai Bombings 55 Introduction This article examines why the transnational crime syndicate known as ‘D-Company’ bombed the city of Mumbai in 1993. In what remains the bloodiest-ever terror incident on Indian soil, 257 civilians were killed by 12 near-synchronous explosions. The bombs had been assembled using military-grade explosive smuggled from abroad. The events of that day, Friday 12 March 1993, are considered by scholars as an example of hybridity between organized crime and political terrorism (Rollins, Wyler and Rosen, 2010: 14-16).

  • Llórenteos Readers in the Americas
    Llórenteos Readers in the Americas NANCY VOGELEY UAN ANTONIO LLÓRENTE is best known as the author ofa his- tory ofthe Spanish Inquisition, pubhshed in Paris in 1818.1 Born in 1756 in the Rioja area of northern Spain, he died in Jj.Iadrid in 1823. He was educated for the clergy and became secretary to the Inquisition, charged with gathering documenta- tion so as to write its history. When José Bonaparte arrived in Spain in 1808 with the invasion of Napoleon's troops, he author- ized Llórente to continue his work. To justify its takeover, the new French government needed to accumulate evidence of state crimes, and the Spanish monarchy's centuries-old collusion with the Church in quelling opposition was already seen as unnatural and barbaric practice in world capitals. With the promise of re- form. Llórente sided with the French. He saw the French regime as permanendy ensconced and as beneficial in paving the way for needed modernization. Thus Llórente and others of equal intel- lectual and artistic stature cooperated with the foreigners and so have gone into Spanish history as afimicesados, hated equally by the people who remained loyal to the Spanish monarch and by a so-called liberal faction of Cádiz merchants who stayed on in I.

    REGIONAL PROJECT/PROGRAMME PROPOSAL PART I: PROJECT/PROGRAMME INFORMATION Title of Project/Programme: Increasing the resilience of both displaced persons and host communities to climate change-related water challenges in Jordan and Lebanon Countries: Jordan, Lebanon Thematic Focal Area: Transboundary water management and food security Type of Implementing Entity: Multilateral Implementing Entity: United Nations Human Settlements Programme Executing Entities: Lebanon: Ministry of Environment; Ministry of Energy and Water; Line departments in municipalities; UNICEF and NGO partners Jordan: Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Water and Irrigation;; Line departments in municipalities; UNICEF and NGO partners Amount of Financing Requested: USD 14 million Project Background and Context Introduction to the problems and needs There is little exploration of how urban systems respond to the impacts of climate change combined with a rapid influx of new and often long-term residents. Considering the scale and nature of impacts of climate change and the Syrian crisis in the Mashreq region, a comprehensive and regional response framework is needed, including the identification of effective approaches and best practices.1 The Mashreq region is part of the most water scarce regions in the world and both urban and rural areas face water challenges. However, some urban areas, especially in Lebanon and Jordan, experience extreme pressure on water availability, both in quanitity and quality, exacerbated by both climate change and the unprecedented influx of Displaced Persons (DPs), especially from Syria.2 The aim of this project is to support the development of a comprehensive regional response framework, especially in an urban context. This is done by identifying effective approaches and best practices to build urban resilience, focused on actions that address water challenges that benefit both DPs and host communities, and especially women and youth.
