The workshop was con- ducted in Heraklion/Crete, Greece, from 20 to 23 September, 2018. Under the overarching title “Greece and Its Western Balkan Neighbours – Com- mon Challenges in a Changing Europe” 40 experts from the South East European region and other parts of Europe, international organizations and major stakeholder nations met under the umbrella of the Partnership for Peace (PfP) Consortium of Defense Academies and Security Studies Institutes and the Austrian Ministry of Defence, represented through its National Defence Academy and the Directorate General for Security Poli- cy. The workshop was supported by the regional partner, Dr. Elena Man- dalenakis, a political scientist specializing in international and regional secu- rity from Heraklion/Crete. The EU and NATO member Greece is literally – due to its geography – and metaphorically at a crossroads. Its geographical position in the Balkan Peninsula and shared history with its neighbours continue to shape its in- terests as well as the challenges it faces. Regional collaborative and adver- sarial state interactions continue to guide interstate relations in the region. Aside from the fluctuating bilateral relations, Greece and the Western Bal- kan states face challenges that can only be collectively dealt with. Common interests, such as the irregular migration and refugee crisis that began in 2015 and has threatened the internal coherence of the EU, have also tested the intra-regional relations in South East Europe. The refugee flow through the Eastern Mediterranean Route led to unilateral closings of EU external and internal borders, thus, weakening the Schengen Agreement, the protec- tion of human rights and the provision of humanitarian assistance. Coun- tries like Greece, operating as EU external borders, became the “gatekeep- ers of Europe” and have been disproportionally burdened by the crisis. This burden, in conjunction with the economic crisis that Greece faces 5 since 2009, questions its ability to effectively deal with the issue while abid- ing to humanitarian standards. At the same time, Greece’s expectation to participate in the markets after the end of the imposed Memoranda, while not economically robust yet, reduces the chances for a quick economic recovery. The fleeing of the most active, educated and talented generation to more prosperous countries (a phenomenon known as “brain drain”) is not unique in the case of Greece but common in the Western Balkans too. Along with a birth deficit it has become a serious obstacle for regional growth. Domestic political instability, rising civic unrest, rise of xenophobia and nationalism are only a few outcomes of a prolonged economic and social crisis that affect both Greece and the Western Balkans. In the energy sector, there are hopes for potential gains from the explora- tion of hydrocarbon resources that exist in the seabed of Greece. There are opposing views and political reactions in the country regarding the validity and the significance of these energy resources in both political and eco- nomic terms. At the same time, Greece qualifies for becoming a regional hub for energy security as it provides a relatively stable political environ- ment for the extract and transport of energy from the South Caucasus, the Caspian basin and Central Asia into Europe. Against the background of Greek-Western Balkan relations, the covered topics in this Study Group information range from existing bilateral chal- lenges between Greece and its neighbours Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (now North Macedonia) and Turkey, transnational common challenges, in particular caused by migration flows, shared demo- graphic and economic challenges as well as topics linked to energy security. The editors would like to express their thanks to all authors who contribut- ed papers to this volume of the Study

The study will provide policymakers with comprehensive historical background, analyses, and policy options for developing regional security strategies that closely engage countries of Central Asia in resolving the Afghanistan-Pakistan issue. Afghanistan’s protracted conflict has long attracted militants from all over the world eager to fight a “holy war” against the “unbelievers”. During the Soviet-Afghan war they were known as mujahedeen. Since the launch of the US-led Operation Enduring Freedom and ouster of the Taliban from Afghanistan, these militants have become to be known as jihadis. The jihadi movement is a combination of various militant groups that came to existence with the Western, Saudi, and Pakistani support during the Afghan resistance to the Soviet occupation in the 1980s.

The apparent purpose was to stir up public anger in an already polarized setti political mood for an outbreak of communal violence. During 1989, Pakistan had adopted similar methods when it broadcast televisi communist revolts in Eastern Europe and urged Kashmiri Muslims to likewise rise up against New Delhi. What intelligence agencies now need to assess is whether their Pakistani counterparts were merely out to embarrass India, or if the sca deeper purpose. It is possible that the Inter Services Intelligence, if it was involved, has no strategic end-game regarding present Bangladeshi immigrants and Bodo tribesmen. The agency’s covert operations cells might just be taking opportunistic advantage of the Provided Indian authorities maintain public order, the matter might rest there.

  • 'Pashtunistan': the Challenge to Pakistan and Afghanistan
    Area: Security & Defence - ARI 37/2008 Date: 2/4/2008 ‘Pashtunistan’: The Challenge to Pakistan and Afghanistan Selig S. Harrison * Theme: The increasing co-operation between Pashtun nationalist and Islamist forces against Punjabi domination could lead to the break-up of Pakistan and Afghanistan and the emergence of a new national entity: an ‘Islamic Pashtunistan’. Summary: The alarming growth of al-Qaeda and the Taliban in the Pashtun tribal region of north-western Pakistan and southern Afghanistan is usually attributed to the popularity of their messianic brand of Islam and to covert help from Pakistani intelligence agencies. But another, more ominous, reason also explains their success: their symbiotic relationship with a simmering Pashtun separatist movement that could lead to the unification of the estimated 41 million Pashtuns on both sides of the border, the break-up of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the emergence of a new national entity, an ‘Islamic Pashtunistan’. This ARI examines the Pashtun claim for an independent territory, the historical and political roots of the Pashtun identity, the implications for the NATO- or Pakistani-led military operations in the area, the increasing co-operation between Pashtun nationalist and Islamist forces against Punjabi domination and the reasons why the Pashtunistan movement, long dormant, is slowly coming to life. Analysis: The alarming growth of al-Qaeda and the Taliban in the Pashtun tribal region of north-western Pakistan and southern Afghanistan is usually attributed to the popularity of their messianic brand of Islam and to covert help from Pakistani intelligence agencies. But another, more ominous reason also explains their success: their symbiotic relationship with a simmering Pashtun separatist movement that could lead to the unification of the estimated 41 million Pashtuns on both sides of the border, the break-up of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the emergence of a new national entity, ‘Pashtunistan,’ under radical Islamist leadership.

  • Islamic Gunpowder Empires : Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals / Douglas E
    “Douglas Streusand has contributed a masterful comparative analysis and an up-to- S date reinterpretation of the significance of the early modern Islamic empires. This T book makes profound scholarly insights readily accessible to undergraduate stu- R dents and will be useful in world history surveys as well as more advanced courses.” —Hope Benne, Salem State College E U “Streusand creatively reexamines the military and political history and structures of the SAN Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. He breaks down the process of transformation and makes their divergent outcomes comprehensible, not only to an audience of special- ists, but also to undergraduates and general readers. Appropriate for courses in world, early modern, or Middle Eastern history as well as the political sociology of empires.” D —Linda T. Darling, University of Arizona “Streusand is to be commended for navigating these hearty and substantial historiogra- phies to pull together an analytical textbook which will be both informative and thought provoking for the undergraduate university audience.” GUNPOWDER EMPIRES —Colin Mitchell, Dalhousie University Islamic Gunpowder Empires provides an illuminating history of Islamic civilization in the early modern world through a comparative examination of Islam’s three greatest empires: the Otto- IS mans (centered in what is now Turkey), the Safavids (in modern Iran), and the Mughals (ruling the Indian subcontinent). Author Douglas Streusand explains the origins of the three empires; compares the ideological, institutional, military, and economic contributors to their success; and L analyzes the causes of their rise, expansion, and ultimate transformation and decline. Streusand depicts the three empires as a part of an integrated international system extending from the At- lantic to the Straits of Malacca, emphasizing both the connections and the conflicts within that AMIC system.
