Peer review and exclusionary practices
Purpose While publishing in Western, English-language academic journals, non-native English-speaking (NNES) researchers from the Global South experience significant challenges. They face systemic disadvantages in the publishing industry. Critical assessments provided by reviewers of manuscripts submitted to international journals by NNES authors pose a significant obstacle to publication. This underscores the necessity for research focused on the…
Eurocentric ethics and Pakhtunwali in Northwest Pakistan
Purpose While conducting research in non-Western contexts, local cultural values confront conventional research ethics, which results in methodological difficulties. It is significant for researchers to know the problems and the ways they can manage them. Design/methodology/approach Using a decolonial and autoethnographic approach, in this article, I reflect on issues encountered during two rounds of fieldwork on the Taliban’s insurgency (2007–20…
Reconstruction at the meso level
Meso‐level institutions are integral to everyday life but are often overlooked in post‐civil war rebuilding efforts. This study, based on a qualitative dataset of 27 interviews and 11 focus groups conducted in Malakand Division, Pakistan, reveals that many of the institutions that are vital to local stakeholders have been neglected in the region's reconstruction efforts. In addition to considerable loss of life, the conflict between the Taliban a…
Insurgents’ Micro-tactics of Violence
The Taliban insurgency in northwest Pakistan has gained relatively limited research attention, and their micro-level violence techniques are underexplored. This article examines the insurgency and applies Randall Collins’s interaction theory of violence to analyze the Taliban’s violent tactics. Based on qualitative data, the findings indicate that the Taliban’s methods of executing violence included strategic decisions and actions; their methods …
Civilians' strategies of post-traumatic growth (PTG)
Exposure to violence can have positive consequences for its victims, resulting in what has been called post-traumatic growth (PTG). The existing literature has discussed multiple aspects of PTG, but how civilians who are victims of violence in armed conflicts may experience PTG is less well understood. This article aims to understand civilians' strategies for coping with violence that may contribute to PTG in the context of the Swat Conflict (200…
Civilians’ Strategies of Post-Conflict Social Revival in Northwestern Pakistan
Insurgents’ legitimisation strategies
This article compares the legitimacy of the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban. It analyses normative and instrumental legitimacy based on Max Weber's traditional, legal, and charismatic sources. The research draws on published literature for exploring the Afghan Taliban and two qualitative studies undertaken in Pakistan to understand the Pakistani Taliban. It argues that the former gained both types of legitimacy, while the latter initially achieved s…
Context-specificity of violence
This article explores the Taliban’s insurgency (2007–2009) in Swat Valley (northern Pakistan) and the multiple meanings of violence in this context. A thematic analysis of data collected through qualitative fieldwork finds that the violence experienced by the victims was understood in three ways: physically as bodily harm, psychologically as terror and fear, and socially in the form of humiliation and dishonor. By delving into the experiences of …
Civilians' survival strategies during the Taliban's insurgency (2007-9), Pakistan
This article explores the Taliban’s insurgency (2007–9) in Swat valley (Pakistan), with two objectives: (a) how civilians survive violence and (b) what their survival strategies mean for them. Drawing on in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, conducted in 2016 to 2019, it offers a typology of civilians’ survival strategies which includes resistance, accommodation, readjustment and withdrawal. It finds that although the strategies worked…
Understandingsocial disruptionin armed conflict
Addressing social issues that arise due to wars and how they impact on post-conflict reconstruction is an area of theoretical debate and policy interest. This article explores the social impact of the armed conflict which took place in Swat Valley, Pakistan from 2007–2009. Based on 28 in-depth interviews and six focus group discussions conducted in the valley, the article examines the damage to community life. The findings show that local institu…
Effectiveness of civilians’ survival strategies
Civilians deploy various strategies to survive violence in armed conflicts; literature, however, does not debate the relative effectiveness of such strategies. This article answers how certain strategies are valued and are employed frequently in comparison to others. Based on qualitative fieldwork in Swat Valley undertaken in 2016 to 2019, where Taliban insurgents fought against the State of Pakistan in 2007–09, the research finds that civilians …
An Understanding of Social Violence
This article discusses debates related to the meaning of violence and proposes the concept of ‘social violence’ to characterise and account for the forms of violence experienced by people in armed conflicts. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, it analyses the social violence wrought by Taliban in 2007-9 and argues that the concept refers to disrespect, humiliation, dishonor and similar actions that damage the identity or r…
