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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Asghar Khan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811917930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811917936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.94d","brand":"Asghar Khan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069332844799,"sku":"9789811917936","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab665090-4772-4da7-8a83-5c1a49df1f7e.jpg?v=1685424134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mainstreaming-the-tribal-areas-ex-fata-asghar-khan-9789811917936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
