The Defiant Border explores why the Afghan-Pakistan borderlands
have remained largely independent of state controls from the
colonial period into the twenty-first century. This book looks at
local Pashtun tribes' modes for evading first British colonial,
then Pakistani, governance; the ongoing border dispute between
Pakistan and Afghanistan; and continuing interest in the region
from Indian, US, British, and Soviet actors. It reveals active
attempts by first British, then Pakistani, agents to integrate the
tribal region, ranging from development initiatives to violent
suppression. The Defiant Border also considers the area's influence
on relations between Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India, as well as
its role in the United States' increasingly global Cold War
policies. Ultimately, the book considers how a region so peripheral
to major centers of power has had such an impact on political
choices throughout the eras of empire, decolonization, and
superpower competition, up to the so-called 'war on terror'.
