Our Knowledge of the Taliban as Guide for US Policy
Many explanations have been offered for why after two decades of insurgency the US military mission in Afghanistan failed. Some of our judgments about what went wrong can be useful in helping us shape future US policy toward a Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Even more valuable, we have the benefit of several years of observing the Taliban exercising the responsibilities of governing to guide us in engaging the regime and furthering our security and st…

A Challenged Pakistan and Its Afghan Policies
Pakistan’s strategic insecurities and domestic struggles with Islamic radicalism drive much of its foreign policy, notably its relations with Afghanistan. The future of both countries, whose destinies are so closely bound together, may ultimately be determined by their ability to overcome mutual antagonisms and the threats they face from their related, extremist-led insurgencies. Informed by recent books on Pakistan by Ahmed Rashid and John Schmi…
The Pakistan-US Conundrum. Jihadists, the Military and the People: The Struggle for Control * By Yunas Samad
Reading Yunis Samad’s study leaves little doubt that it warrants a prominent place in the body of literature on Pakistan. Where much of the writing on contemporary Pakistan is descriptive and journalistic, the author’s work joins a small number of books that are largely analytic and genuinely scholarly. A social and political theorist, Samad probes the Pakistan–US conundrum, focusing broadly on the influence of Islamic militants and army rule on …

Pakistan's Afghan policies and their consequences
Pakistan's Afghan policies, so consequential for its neighbour, have also had a deep impact on the country's political landscape and society. This article examines how Pakistan has pursued a two-track foreign policy toward Afghanistan that often encompasses incompatible goals. Pakistan's leaders have also frequently ignored the long-term and wider implications of their policies domestically and regionally. The discussion looks at the consequences…

Egypt and the Politics of U.S. Economic Aid
Dependent Development and U.S. Economic Aid to Egypt
Egypt was firmly ensconced by the early 1980s in the ranks of the Third World's more dependent, financially troubled economies. The country's total foreign debt, under $3 billion in 1973, had grown to 16 billion by 1979. In 1982–83, the external debt was estimated at $20 billion, with the servicing of medium and long-term obligations absorbing more than one-third of export earnings. The terms of trade were also moving against Egypt as its major e…

The March 1977 Elections in Pakistan: Where Everyone Lost

When the results were in, the ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP) claimed a renewed mandate: Bhu…
