Combining years of fieldwork with a robust political science framework, Dr. Khan offers new insights which challenge many of the dated and harmful assumptions about this place and its people. This volume is sure to become a must read for anyone interested in this ?ungovernable? space.' ?Benjamin D. Hopkins, Professor of History, Elliott School of International Affairs, The George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA The book addresses why the Pakistani state is facing persistent challenges in extending and consolidating its governance (authority) throughout its territories, especially in the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (ex-FATA)? Even after the de jure merger, the question still remains valid that how Pakistani state could establish its governance in these tribal areas? Through multi-dimensional approaches and multi-pronged analysis of state-centric (top-down), society-centric (bottom-up) and state-in-society (mixed-horizontal) approaches, the book explains factors and dimensions that pose challenges to Pakistani state governance in ex-FATA. The main hypothesis is that societies, where state governance is absent, turn to informal governance and create informal institutions as a substitute for the weak central state governance thereby challenging the domination and control/authority of the state. The book presents policy recommendations for bringing these tribal areas into the mainstream governance system of Pakistan. Asghar Khan is the head of the Department of Regional Studies, University of Peshawar, and teaches Political Science there. 606 $aAsia$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aTerrorism 606 $aPolitical violence 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aAsian Politics 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aTerrorism and Political Violence 606 $aDevelopment Studies 615 0$aAsia$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aTerrorism. 615 0$aPolitical violence. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aRegionalism. 615 24$aTerrorism and Political Violence. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 676 $a330.9417 700 $aKhan$b Asghar$01254299 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910590078103321 996 $aMainstreaming the Tribal Areas (ex-FATA) of Pakistan Bordering Afghanistan$92908319 997 $aUNINA
