Reframing the US-Pakistan Strategic Renaissance
The Jihad Paradox: Pakistan and Islamist Militancy in South Asia
Islamist militants based in Pakistan pose a major threat to regional and international security. Although this problem has only recently received widespread attention, Pakistan has long used militants as strategic tools to compensate for its severe political and material weakness. This use of Islamist militancy has constituted nothing less than a central component of Pakistani grand strategy; supporting jihad has been one of the principal means b…
The Sorcerer's Apprentice: Islamist Militancy in South Asia
Ten Years of Instability in a Nuclear South Asia
The tenth anniversary of India's and Pakistan's 1998 nuclear tests enables scholars to revisit the issue of South Asian proliferation with a decade of hindsight.

And despite recent improvements in Indo-Pakistani relations, their fundamental politica…
India and Pakistan's Unstable Peace: Why Nuclear South Asia Is Not Like Cold War Europe

Although this phenomenon encouraged U.S.-Soviet violence during the Cold War, it does not explain the dynamics of the ongoing confict between I…
