  • Evidence from Rainfall Variation and Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan∗
    THE ECONOMIC CAUSES OF TERROR: EVIDENCE FROM RAINFALL VARIATION AND TERRORIST ATTACKS IN PAKISTAN∗ SHAN AMAN RANA Abstract. How do rainfall induced rural employment shocks affect terrorist violence? There can be two opposite effects i.e. labour supply and terror finance. A positive rain- fall shock to the agrarian sector raises the relative wages across agrarian and terror sector and potentially reduces terrorist labour and violence. This is the opportunity cost or labour supply effect. Alternatively, in the societal context of Pakistan - with employment elastic religious charitable donations and information asymmetry in the religious charity market cap- tured to some extent by militants - a positive rainfall shock to the agrarian sector potentially increases terror financing and production. This is the terror financing effect. Exploiting the fact that Pakistan is a predominantly poorly irrigated, agricultural economy, I use district level panel data from 1997-2010 on rainfall shocks as an instrument for rural employment to identify the net effect of rural employment shocks on terrorist violence in Pakistan. Results suggest that a one percentage point increase in rain induced- rural employment results in an increase in the probability of a terrorist attack by 8.09 percentage points and an increase in the number of terrorist attacks by 0.5697. Results remain robust and consistent with finance rather than the labour supply as the relative dominant channel through which rural employment affects terror production in districts of Pakistan. Keywords: Conflict in Pakistan, religious violence, extremism, suicide-bombing, opportunity costs, terror financing, terrorist recruitment.

  • ASA 33/006/2002 Pakistan: Insufficient Protection of Women
    PAKISTAN INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION OF WOMEN “The government of Pakistan vigorously condemns the practice of so-called honour killings. Such acts do not find a place in our religion or law. Killing in the name of honour is murder and will be treated as such”, General Musharraf, April 2000 1. INTRODUCTION For years, women in Pakistan have been severely disadvantaged and discriminated against. They have been denied the enjoyment of a whole range of rights - economic, social, civil and political rights and often deprivation in one of these areas has entailed discrimination in another. Women who have been denied social rights including the right to education are also often denied the right to decide in matters relating to their marriage and divorce, are more easily abused in the family and community and are more likely to be deprived of the right to legal redress. Often abuses are compounded; poor girls and women are trafficked and subject to forced marriage, forced prostitution or exploitative work situations such as bonded labour. In all of these situations they are likely to be mentally, physically and sexually abused, again without having the wherewithal to obtain justice.1 Since publishing its 1999 report, Pakistan: Violence against women in the name of honour2, Amnesty International has found that while few positive changes have taken place in the area of women’s rights, the state in Pakistan still by and large fails to provide adequate protection for women against abuses in the custody of the state and in the family and the community. In fact, the number of victims of violence appears to rise.

  • Spatiotemporal Monitoring of Urban Sprawl and Its Impact Assessment in District Sheikhupura Through Remote Sensing and Gis Using Satellite Images from 1976-2014
    Sci.Int.(Lahore),28(2),1583-1588,2016 ISSN 1013-5316; CODEN: SINTE 8 1583 SPATIOTEMPORAL MONITORING OF URBAN SPRAWL AND ITS IMPACT ASSESSMENT IN DISTRICT SHEIKHUPURA THROUGH REMOTE SENSING AND GIS USING SATELLITE IMAGES FROM 1976-2014. S M H Raza1*, S A Mahmood2, Fauzia S Alvi 3, M Atif4, S Yahya5, J Ahmad6, A Hanif7 1,2,4,6,7 Remote Sensing Group, Department of Space Science , University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan 3,5 Institute of Social & Cultural Studies. University of the Punjab Lahore Pakistan. *CONTACT: ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: Sheikhupura is well known city of Pakistan. It is sprawling rapidly, which is causing several socioeconomic and environmental problems. Sufficient knowledge about trend of this spread is required for satisfying needs of residents by managing available limited resources. It is also required to have knowledge about land cover and land use(LCLU) changes over the time and, to detect growth patterns across the city. To accomplish these tasks with greater accuracy and easiest way, techniques of remote sensing and Geographic information system (GIS) proved to be very advantageous. This study makes an attempt towards mapping spatio-temporal changes using LANDSAT satellite image for urban sprawl of Sheikhupura, Pakistan. In this study, four different time periods viz. 1976-1994, 1994-2000, 2000-2014 are chosen for the analysis. The results show that high-density urban area had grown during 2000-2014 and eaten up fertile agricultural land pieces which is due to growth in industrial progress seen in Sheikhupura city. Keywords: LULC (Land use and Land cover) mapping, Change detection, Spatiotemporal analysis, GIS, GPS, Remote Sensing.
