Gendering Community Policing and Role of Information Communication Technology
Gender based violence (GBV) is a heinous crime that Pakistani society is facing. To deal with this menace, both the government and non-governmental organizations have taken steps at various levels to improve police service delivery, competence-building and awareness-raising on GBV, establish women’s shelters, establish women’s development and welfare units in district welfare departments, and open helplines. However, these initiatives are limited…
Re-thinking Violence, Everyday and (In)Security
This special gender issue brings to the fore a renewed focus on the importance of feminist intersectional analyses in understanding violence and (in)security in the everyday. It does so through the examination of several cases across the globe. The first set of articles examines how gender is understood in the context of police reform initiatives in post-conflict contexts, where despite political peace agreements, many forms of violence and insec…
How humanitarian assistance practices exacerbate vulnerability
This paper examines humanitarian assistance practices to understand how approaches followed by various actors address – or fail to address - social vulnerability to disasters. This question is addressed through a study of humanitarian responses in two disaster-affected villages of Baltistan in northern Pakistan. Through analysis of key informant interviews, semi-structured interviews with men and women, group discussions and secondary data source…
Civil Security in the Wake of Crisis—Renegotiating Police-Community Relations in Post-Crisis Development in Swat, Pakistan
This paper explores the transition from military to civil security in post-militancy and subsequent militant operations in 2009 and the floods of 2010 in the Swat Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Based mainly on qualitative interviews with local police and community women and men, the paper examines the shifting roles of the police over the course of these crises and how community-police relations are continuously negotiated. Before t…
Emerging Perspectives on Post-Conflict Police-Community Relations II
The world is increasingly interconnected - insecurity in one country can both directly and indirectly affect the security of people, countries and regions that are far away. Therefore, when conflict erupts in one part of the world, the international community responds in various ways to mitigate its effects, both locally and internationally. Whether it be through the provision of police, military and/or civilian personnel, humanitarian assistance…
The Narrative of Militancy
Unlike other faith-based conflicts, the militancy in Swat seems unique, as militants used religion for promoting their agenda and giving voices to the grievances of the poor people through a popular narrative likely without knowing narratology. Using narratives and narratology as a theoretical framework, this qualitative study is an effort to understand the essence of militants' narrative in Swat and the mechanism through which they steered it up…
Pushing on a String? An Argument for Civil Society-driven Community Policing as Alternative to Ministry-centric Approach in Conflict-affected States
Most international support for community policing focuses primarily if not exclusively on capacity building of the government, namely Ministries of Interior and police forces. For structural reasons, these organizations-in and of themselves-are often not the most appropriate partners to launch or sustain community-oriented policing initiatives, especially in the early phases of police reform. This paper presents an alternative to the ministry-cen…
The Underlying Causes of Violent Conflict in the North Waziristan Tribal Areas of Pakistan
Following the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, Pakistan and the merged Tribal Districts, particularly the North Waziristan Tribal District (NWTD), experienced increasing violent conflict. This paper examines the causes of conflict in North Waziristan from the perspective of local communities. The study is based on qualitative primary data collected in NWTD. The study identifies deep-rooted internal factors such as poor socio-economic condition…
From Guns to Roses
In Afghanistan, police reform is an important focus of international efforts. After over a decade of assistance, however, there are still daunting challenges of public trust and police effectiveness. From a civilian perspective, the role of the police is a crucial one—and very different from that of the military. Communities, being at the very heart of security challenges, are well positioned to understand the intricacies of security and developm…
Community-Oriented Policing
Community - police relations in Pakistan are often intricate , as are their reforms . Mistrust , political intervention , meager financial resources , lack of educated / trained human resources , over - expectations and miscommunication are some of the factors contributing to weak policing and poor community - police relations . The police as a service - oriented public institution has been a demand of the public and the dream of consecutive gove…
Role of ICT in Community-Oriented Policing in South Asia
Community-oriented policing (COP) as a model has found widespread acceptance throughout the world both in developed and developing countries. Similarly, Information and Communication Technologies ( ICTs ) have been embraced by many developed countries to augment COP initiatives. However, very little is known about the application of ICTs in COP in developing countries, particularly South Asia. In this article, we review the current ICT -based COP…

Climate Change and Disasters
Over the last decade, Pakistan has faced several major disasters, involving both natural hazards and conflict. These crises prompted tremendous national and international response, and triggered the Government of Pakistan to establish new institutions, policies, strategies and action plans. Donors, humanitarian and development organisations,however, tend to follow their own policies, plans and interests, which may be quite different from the gove…
Social Vulnerability and Local Adaptation in Humanitarian Response
This article looks at the experiences of two areas hit hard by the 2010 mega-floods in Pakistan, one in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and one in Sindh. It examines how different humanitarian actors understand climatic changes, risk and vulnerability, how this influences their choices of disaster risk reduction activities, and whether these activities promote changes which are merely cosmetic, or transformational. The findings point to the need to expand ins…
Whose property whose authority? Gendering the legal and customary practices in ownership and access to land
Recovering from disasters
The October 2005 earthquake in northern Pakistan severely affected the livelihoods of 1.5 million people. With the destruction of material assets and communications infrastructure, the quake had a devastating impact on people's way of life in this remote mountainous region. This paper explores livelihood revival interventions undertaken during the earthquake response, and considers how differentiated livelihood outcomes were achieved. In addressi…
Participatory Development Practices
Participatory development practices (PDP) have been applied in several government and donor-funded development projects implemented since 1980s in the Swat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. This paper analyzes the PDP carried out in development projects in terms of their contribution to gender empowerment and the transformation of the socio-cultural system in pre- and post-crises of Swat. Further, the paper examined how the conflict and f…
False Promises False Hopes
The global discourse on ‘winning hearts and minds’, engages the USA, local governments, and international actors in liberal peace building in conflict-affected settings. In north-western Pakistan, the Pakistani government supports this discourse by claiming to pursue a 3-pronged strategy based on dialogue, development, and deterrence. This paper examines how peace-building activities have been practiced in north-western Pakistan in relation to de…
Measuring Household Food Security
Ingrid Nyborg and Ruth Haug: ‘Measuring Household Food Security: A Participatory Process Approach’, Forum for Development Studies, 1995:1, pp. 29–59. The meaning of food security has changed significantly in recent years, making it difficult for development agents to adequately address the issue in projects, even when it appears as a major goal. The authors, in an attempt to clarify the concept, provide a comprehensive overview of the current the…
