Pakistan’s inter-services intelligence directorate
Owen Sirrs’ volume provides an historical summary of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) organisation, in the context of Pakistan’s wars, politics, and the broader Pakistan Intelligence Co
South American Market Integration
This paper revisits and rebuts the mainstream view that Brazil and Argentina were led to form the Southern Common Market to end more than a century of rivalry and competition. We find the elements characterizing an interstate rivalry diminishing in the nineteenth century through the promotion of peaceful settlements and strategic alliances while those that could prompt security concerns disappeared years before the Southern Common Market was form…
Eating grass – the making of the Pakistan bomb
The AfPak Campaign and the Limits of Canadian Diplomacy
Initially, recognition of the vital role played by regional diplomacy did not accompany NATO’s substantial commitment to economic and political development in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2014. Pakistan in particular had a major influence on the conduct of reconstruction efforts and NATO’s efforts to lay the institutional foundations in Afghanistan. Canada, an early and committed participant in the International Security Assistance Force, would by 20…

Why Pakistan failed
The classical repertoire of insurgency types is under-specified, and does not apply well to the case of Pakistan's conduct of insurgency in Kashmir. Pakistan's approach to insurgency has been a consistent tribal variant of focoism, in which there is a reliance on imported itinerant insurgents to conduct raids to stimulate an uprising. This has its basis in the traditional warfare of the region, learned US insurgency doctrine in the 1960s, and an …
Militarization and War
High levels of militarization of a state’s government increase both the probability of war, and produce less effective strategies. The increased probability of war results from the isolation and distortion of a state’s decision-making process so that it produces war-prone policies. It produces less effective strategies by privileging military instruments over diplomatic ones. Militarization is the measure of the extent of use of military structur…
Designing a secure Iraq
The third Western attempt at regime construction in Iraq is now underway. Western plans to rebuild the Iraqi state will fail again if they ignore the real roots of Iraqi insecurity: its geopolitical weakness. The preoccupation with designing a new constitution ignores the historical evidence of the 1930s and 1950s that it is bound to fail. Surrounded by far larger powers such as Turkey and Iran, Iraq desperately needs long‐term commitments of arm…

Pakistan
Ahmad Faruqui is an economist, who serves as a fellow with the American Institute of International Studies. He is the author of Rethinking the National Security of Pakistan. Julian Schofield is an assistant professor in political science at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. His research examines the effects of arms races, particularly in relation to South Asia
Arms Control and its Realpolitik Sceptics
Militarized Decision-Making for War in Pakistan
In a balanced, constitutionally governed state, military decision-makers are no more likely to recommend war in a dispute than are civilian leaders. However, in military regimes, there is a tendency to import biases that systematically distort the contribution of a state's foreign and interior ministries. Consequently, military governments become overly pessimistic about the scarcity of security and overconfident about the utility of force. Using…
War and punishment the implication of arms purchases in maritime Southeast Asia
While there is no arms race currently underway in Southeast Asia, there should still be concern for the effects of a regional arms buildup. No state currently possesses, or is seeking to possess, the capabilities necessary to dominate the core territory of its potential adversaries. However, the types of weapons being procured favour punishment based strategies that are highly unstable and war‐prone. Geographic vulnerability to blockade and inter…
