  • Pakistan Response Towards Terrorism: a Case Study of Musharraf Regime
    PAKISTAN RESPONSE TOWARDS TERRORISM: A CASE STUDY OF MUSHARRAF REGIME By: SHABANA FAYYAZ A thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham May 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The ranging course of terrorism banishing peace and security prospects of today’s Pakistan is seen as a domestic effluent of its own flawed policies, bad governance, and lack of social justice and rule of law in society and widening gulf of trust between the rulers and the ruled. The study focused on policies and performance of the Musharraf government since assuming the mantle of front ranking ally of the United States in its so called ‘war on terror’. The causes of reversal of pre nine-eleven position on Afghanistan and support of its Taliban’s rulers are examined in the light of the geo-strategic compulsions of that crucial time and the structural weakness of military rule that needed external props for legitimacy. The flaws of the response to the terrorist challenges are traced to its total dependence on the hard option to the total neglect of the human factor from which the thesis develops its argument for a holistic approach to security in which the people occupy a central position.

  • Media Construction of Tehreek-E- Taliban Pakistan
    Örebro University School of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences Date 12 May, 2013 MEDIA CONSTRUCTION OF TEHREEK-E- TALIBAN PAKISTAN: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the News Reports of the FATA Conflict Published in Pakistani newspapers, The Daily Jang and Daily Nawa-i-waqt MA Thesis Global Journalism Supervisor: Leonor Camaüer Author: Abdul Qayyum Bhatti Abstract Pakistan allied with the US in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) between late 2001 and early 2002. Being the US’s ally, Pakistan launched military operations in the semi-governed Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA) to drive out the jihadists who sought refuge in the areas after conducting guerrilla operations against NATO led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. Pakistani security forces (SFs) met with considerable resistance by the tribal insurgents, who in 2007 named themselves the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The FATA conflict related news reports often make headlines in the most-read Urdu-language newspapers in Pakistan. As news media is regarded as an important element in influencing public opinion, this study focuses on the news reports published in The Daily Jang and Daily Nawa-i-waqt in order to figure out how the newspapers effect the public opinion by constructing the actors (Pakistani security forces and Pakistani Taliban) and the action (the military operations). As I was not able to find any research conducted on the conflict which analyses Pakistani newspapers, this study is an addition to the literature available on the FATA conflict and the GWOT. This study fills the gap by analysing 30 news articles which are systematically selected from the newspapers published in the last ten years.

  • News and Nationalism in Afghanistan, America and Pakistan During Wartime, 2010-2012
    Patterns in the Chaos: News and Nationalism in Afghanistan, America and Pakistan During Wartime, 2010-2012 Katherine Ann Brown Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Katherine Ann Brown All rights reserved ABSTRACT Patterns in the Chaos: News and Nationalism in Afghanistan, America and Pakistan During Wartime, 2010-2012 Katherine Ann Brown This dissertation examines the United States’s elite news media’s hegemony in a global media landscape, and how it can come to stand for the entire American nation in the imagination of outsiders. In this transnational, instantaneous digital media arena, what is created for an American audience can fairly easily be accessed, interpreted and relayed to another. How, then, is U.S. international news, which is traditionally ethnocentric and security-focused, absorbed in Afghanistan and Pakistan, two countries where the United States has acute foreign policy interests? This study draws from two bodies of scholarship that are analogous, yet rarely linked together. The first is on hegemony and the U.S. news media’s relationship with American society and the government. This includes scholarship on indexing and cascading; agenda building and agenda setting; framing; and reporting during conflict. The second is on the American news media’s relationship with the world, and nationalism as a fixed phenomenon in international news. This includes examining the different kinds of press systems that exist globally, and how they interact with each other. Afghanistan and Pakistan’s media systems have expanded dramatically since being freed in 2002 and they struggle daily with making sense of the volatility that comes with the U.S.-led Afghanistan war.
