  • Pakistan: Arrival and Departure
    01-2180-2 CH 01:0545-1 10/13/11 10:47 AM Page 1 stephen p. cohen 1 Pakistan: Arrival and Departure How did Pakistan arrive at its present juncture? Pakistan was originally intended by its great leader, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, to transform the lives of British Indian Muslims by providing them a homeland sheltered from Hindu oppression. It did so for some, although they amounted to less than half of the Indian subcontinent’s total number of Muslims. The north Indian Muslim middle class that spearheaded the Pakistan movement found itself united with many Muslims who had been less than enthusiastic about forming Pak- istan, and some were hostile to the idea of an explicitly Islamic state. Pakistan was created on August 14, 1947, but in a decade self-styled field marshal Ayub Khan had replaced its shaky democratic political order with military-guided democracy, a market-oriented economy, and little effective investment in welfare or education. The Ayub experiment faltered, in part because of an unsuccessful war with India in 1965, and Ayub was replaced by another general, Yahya Khan, who could not manage the growing chaos. East Pakistan went into revolt, and with India’s assistance, the old Pakistan was bro- ken up with the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. The second attempt to transform Pakistan was short-lived. It was led by the charismatic Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who simultaneously tried to gain control over the military, diversify Pakistan’s foreign and security policy, build a nuclear weapon, and introduce an economic order based on both Islam and socialism.

  • The US-India Nuke Deal
    The U.S.-India Nuke Deal: U.S. Needs and Ambitions by Dr. Dheeraj Kumar Strategic Insights is a bi-monthly electronic journal produced by the Center for Contemporary Conflict at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. The views expressed here are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of NPS, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Introduction The United States-India Peaceful Atomic Energy Cooperation Act of 2006, also known as the "Hyde Act,” is the legal framework for a bilateral pact between the United States and India under which the United States will provide access to civilian nuclear technology and access to nuclear fuel in exchange for International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards on civilian Indian reactors. This deal has been most controversial and debated for the past two years. There are five major differences between the United States and India related to some clauses of Hyde Act: 1. The Return Clause 2. Reprocessing of Spent Fuel 3. Nuclear Testing 4. Lifetime Fuel Guarantee 5. Fallback Safeguards For resolving these differences, India has to conclude a bilateral 123 agreement with the United States, engage the IAEA, and seek changes to the rules of the forty five member NSG. Other objections and obstacles to the deal from the Indian side are as follows: • India is going to compromise with national security interests pertaining to its nuclear deterrent. • It will likely lead to energy insecurity in India in the case that the United States withdraws its support or does not supply the technology and sufficient material in time.

Abstract The challenge of defining terrorism has long preoccupied domestic and international lawyers alike. The rising presence of the terrorist on the global stage has muddled the lines between security, politics and law leaving the courts to solve intricate puzzles and maintain delicate balances. All the while people and states have engaged in ever more heated arguments and ever more stringent policies to tackle a phenomenon the heart of which remains opaque. Presupposing definitions as linguistic/legal reflections of essential realities is misleading and conceals the role played by legal processes in creating terrorist realities.

As someone who grew up in a remarkably small rural town, my early intellectual development owes largely to my blissful ignorance of the astonishing labors and successes of my phenomenal parents, James and Denise Brosius. They have provided me their endless support, a place to grow, and, perhaps most importantly, grounded me from becoming hopelessly detached. Were it not for their support, I understand rather strongly what other options awaited me. My primary mentors during the course of this paper ultimately changed over time due to my own problems – something I hope dearly to have addressed.
