This book analyzes the emergence, rise, and decline of insurgency
by the Pakistani Taliban in Pakistan's North-Western region, also
known as Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). It provides a
detailed account of the rise and decline of the FATA insurgency and
also examines aftereffects of the insurgency. Offering an in-depth
analysis of how insurgency in the FATA began in 2004 after Pakistan
entered its military forces into the tribal areas, the author
illustrates that the insurgency erupted when state repression on
masses is combined with a disruption of the previous modus vivendi
centered on co-optation of local elites. In the following years,
the insurgency became so powerful that most of the FATA region fell
under the control of the insurgents. The book further argues that a
weak counterinsurgency strategy by the Pakistani government
characterised by the overzealous use of force and a failure to win
the support of local communities led the insurgency to become
stronger and expand its control. Furthermore, the analysis reveals
that a more robust counterinsurgency strategy, relying more on a
determined and a judicious use of force and attempts to gain the
trust and support of local communities, adopted in the later years
led to the collapse of the insurgency. In short, this book offers
an explanation of what makes an insurgency more likely to occur and
how insurgency escalates and declines. In addition, this book sheds
light on recent development in FATA including the merger of FATA
with the mainstream Pakistan, the rise of the Pashtun Tahafuz
Movement, a non-violent protest movement, and the resurgence of the
Pakistani Taliban especially after the Afghan Taliban capture of
Kabul in the wake of US withdrawal of forces in Afghanistan. This
book is a timely addition to the literature on South Asian Politics
and Security Studies.
