(Hons.) Lahore University of Management Sciences, Pakistan, 2005 M.P.A. University of Central Florida, 2010 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Health and Public Affairs at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2013 Major Professor: Naim Kapucu © 2013 Sana Khosa ii ABSTRACT Catastrophic disasters are different than routine disasters and managing them requires the mobilization of inter-organizational, inter-governmental, cross-sectoral and international humanitarian support. The role of the international community through International Non- governmental Organizations (INGOs), and multi-lateral organizations such as the United Nations (UN) becomes imperative when the scale of the disaster is unprecedented and difficult for a country to manage on its own. The initial response and relief phase of managing disasters is one in which many agencies with different expertise, capacities, working mandates, resources, skills, working cultures and norms come together to coordinate and collaborate to provide timely response and relief services. Thus, the terrain of managing catastrophic disasters is complex and requires a deeper study to understand and delineate the factors shaping and facilitating collaborative response and relief efforts. This study examines the multi-level and multi-layered collaborative response networks present at the national-international level, provincial and district/local level of disaster response and interactions. In this research the nature and effectiveness of collaboration is being studied through a relevant case study of a catastrophic natural disaster, the 2010 Pakistan Floods. The phase of immediate response is explored primarily through Network Theory perspectives including supportive theoretical perspectives such as Social Capital, Resource Dependency, and Institutional Collective Action Theory perspectives that help to explain collaborative interactions in disaster response networks. This study explores and describes factors that influence (either facilitate or hinder) collaboration is disaster response networks. iii The key research questions for this study are: What factors facilitate and impede collaborative response to catastrophic disasters at the local, provincial, national and international levels? What are the differences and similarities in response systems at different levels? Additional questions address how leadership support (attributed to government and political leaders and organizations), institutional support (in the form of plans, international appeals of response, and development of relief funds to manage aid), network capacity of different organizations (programmatic and relational), nature of resource dependencies between responding agencies, and structural configurations of response systems impact the collaborative response in disasters. A case study method has been applied in this research. The 2010 Pakistan Floods response network/system is identified through content analysis of various newspapers, situation reports and after-action reports using the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method via UCINET Software 6.1. The actual response network is analyzed and compared with existing national disaster response plans to examine the effectiveness of collaborative response through centrality measures, clique analysis and visual display. This approach is supplemented with semi- structured interviews of key institutional representatives that responded to the 2010 Floods. These organizations and institutions were primarily identified through the networks formulated via SNA. Findings and results from the analysis reflect that the response networks at each level of analysis differ both in structural aspects and also in functional aspects. The nature of the international-national response system is focused on mobilizing donor support and receiving and iv managing aid, both in-kind and cash. Also a major role at the international and national level is to mobilize the UN cluster approach and focus on broader aims of response such as providing shelter and food to affected areas. Some of the factors identified as facilitating collaborative response were leadership of both national and international leaders, and availability of donor support and funds. At the provincial level of analysis, the Chief Minister of Punjab is playing a central and influential role and is partnering closely with the Armed Forces and local district administration. Interviews conducted of provincial level officials help to support the hypotheses concerning leadership support’s influence on collaborative response and also the role of institutional support in the form of creation of plans, and policies that help to mobilize quick funds and resources for relief. At the local level of response, networks are highly influenced by local conditions and local capacities of the district administration. Thus, there are diverse factors impacting each level of collaborative disaster response. All in all, leadership support, institutional support and network structural aspects are important variables that impact the effectiveness of collaborative response. Today policy makers are trying to figure out ways to collaborate successfully across sector boundaries for better and effective service delivery, both in the mundane operational tasks and in uncertain and complex situations such as disasters and catastrophic events. Thus, this research helps in expanding the literature on collaborative public management, collaborative emergency management, and network management. Also the frequency of natural disasters throughout the world demonstrate the need to study and examine factors that contribute to or hinder the effectiveness of inter-organizational response in disasters. v I dedicate this to my Ama & Aba, Mama & Baba, Dadi & Dada, Nano & Nana (my most loving parents and grandparents) Zain, my companion, my best friend and Amsah, the love of my life. vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would have never been able to achieve my academic goals if I did not have Dr. Naim Kapucu as my mentor, my academic advisor, and my teacher. He has worked very hard to keep me motivated and has given me immense support and encouragement throughout my graduate studies at the University of Central Florida. Without his guidance and mentorship I would not have been encouraged to start, nor complete, my doctorate. It was because of him that I was introduced to the field of disaster management, and it is because of his mentorship that I grew passionate about this field. My sincerest gratitude also goes out to my dissertation committee members: Dr. Thomas Wan for his guidance on how to apply the most sophisticated quantitative techniques; Dr. Claire Knox for being extremely helpful and encouraging me to improve my qualitative analysis; and Dr. Houman Sadri for his remarkable insights and perspectives on the global and foreign policy issues. I would also like to thank Dr. Mary Ann Feldheim, the Director of the School of Public Administration, for the constant encouragement and positive energy she exudes. I am also going to extend my gratitude to Dr.Qian for the much-needed chit-chats while I was trying to complete my dissertation. I want to acknowledge that Dr. Tom Bryer has also played an important role in developing my interest in network science and collaboration with his insights during his courses. I am extremely thankful to God for blessing me with the most understanding and supportive parents and grandparents. They have always believed in me and encouraged me to strive for the best. I wish my Dadi and Dada (my paternal grandparents) were alive to read this. They were role-models for me and have always supported me in my academic endeavors and vii accomplishments. I am thankful that my Nana and Nano (my maternal grandparents) are alive and will be reading this. I have to thank Sadia, Imran Bhai, Usman, Sadia Sindhu, Haani, Eema, and Kiran for always being there whenever I needed them. They are my most valued support- system. A special thank you goes out to Mama for taking care of Amsah (my daughter) when I was struggling to complete my dissertation, and to Ama and Aba for booking their tickets and going out of the way to support me in my crunch time. A sincere thank you goes to Baba for always telling me I could do it. I want to take this opportunity to thank all my wonderful friends who have made this possible

    Pakistan-U.S. Relations K. Alan Kronstadt Specialist in South Asian Affairs July 1, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33498 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Pakistan-U.S. Relations Summary A stable, democratic, prosperous Pakistan actively combating religious militancy is considered vital to U.S. interests. U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include regional and global terrorism; Afghan stability; democratization and human rights protection; the ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India tensions; and economic development. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials praise Pakistan for its ongoing cooperation, although long-held doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and, until recently, largely ineffectual counterinsurgency operations in the country’s western tribal areas, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban militants are said to enjoy “safe haven.” U.S. officials increasingly are concerned that indigenous religious extremists represent a serious threat to the stability of the Pakistani state. The United States strongly encourages maintenance of a bilateral cease-fire and a continuation of substantive dialogue between Pakistan and neighboring India, which have fought three wars since 1947. A perceived Pakistan-India nuclear arms race has been the focus of U.S.

  • Livelihoods, Basic Services and Social Protection in North-Western Pakistan Working Paper 5 Babar Shahbaz, Qasim Ali Shah, Abid Q
    Researching livelihoods and services affected by conflict Livelihoods, basic services and social protection in north-western Pakistan Working Paper 5 Babar Shahbaz, Qasim Ali Shah, Abid Q. Suleri, Steve Commins and Akbar Ali Malik August 2012 About us Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium (SLRC) aims to generate a stronger evidence base on how people make a living, educate their children, deal with illness and access other basic services in conflict-affected situations (CAS). Providing better access to basic services, social protection and support to livelihoods matters for the human welfare of people affected by conflict, the achievement of development targets such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and international efforts at peace- and state-building. At the centre of SLRC’s research are three core themes, developed over the course of an intensive one- year inception phase: ▪ State legitimacy: experiences, perceptions and expectations of the state and local governance in conflict-affected situations ▪ State capacity: building effective states that deliver services and social protection in conflict-affected situations ▪ Livelihood trajectories and economic activity under conflict The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is the lead organisation. SLRC partners include the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) in Sri Lanka, Feinstein International Center (FIC, Tufts University), the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU), the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) in Pakistan, Disaster Studies of Wageningen University (WUR) in the Netherlands, the Nepal Centre for Contemporary Research (NCCR), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

  • Recalibrating U.S.–Pakistan Relations
    Haider Ali Hussein Mullick Recalibrating U.S.—Pakistan Relations Afghanistan is America’s longest war. Thousands of U.S. troops and those from nearly 50 other countries have fought in Afghanistan against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces, but it was in nuclear-armed Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was killed, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (the mastermind of 9/11) was captured, and Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar as well as the heads of the virulent Haqqani network reside. Pakistan’s duplicity is a fact, yet it is often excessively characterized as a function of the India—Pakistan rivalry. Pakistani generals do fear India, but they have also recognized the threat from domestic insurgents. The height of this concern was reached in 2009, when the Pakistani Taliban were 60 miles from the country’s capital and jeopardized U.S. as well as Pakistani goals in the region: interdicting al-Qaeda, protecting Pakistani nuclear weapons, and stabilizing (and in Pakistan’s case, an anti-India) Afghanistan. At that point, Pakistani troops, unlike past attempts, fought back and prevailed against the insurgents. It can be done. Pakistan’s remarkable counterinsurgency turnaround since 2009 was one of few net gains for the United States. A mix of bullying and bribing since 2001 on the part of Washington has failed to change Islamabad’s double dealing, but the relative success of the Pakistani counterinsurgency since 2009Ñresulting in part Downloaded by [Columbia University] at 20:31 26 July 2012 from training and equipment provided by the United StatesÑoffers important opportunities for the U.S.—Pakistan partnership. First, it increases American leverage.
