{"product_id":"pakistans-counterterrorism-challenge-moeed-yusuf-9781626160453","title":"Pakistan's Counterterrorism Challenge","description":"\u003cp\u003ePakistan, which since 9\/11 has come to be seen as one of the world's most dangerous places and has been referred to as \"the epicenter of international terrorism,\" faces an acute counterterrorism (CT) challenge. The book focuses on violence being perpetrated against the Pakistani state by Islamist groups and how Pakistan can address these challenges, concentrating not only on military aspects but on the often-ignored political, legal, law enforcement, financial, and technological facets of the challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited by Moeed Yusuf of the US Institute of Peace, and featuring the contributions and insights of Pakistani policy practitioners and scholars as well as international specialists with deep expertise in the region, the volume explores the current debate surrounding Pakistan's ability-and incentives-to crack down on Islamist terrorism and provides an in-depth examination of the multiple facets of this existential threat confronting the Pakistani state and people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book pays special attention to the non-traditional functions of force that are central to Pakistan's ability to subdue militancy but which have not received the deserved attention from the Pakistani state nor from western experts. In particular, this path-breaking volume, the first to explore these various facets holistically, focuses on the weakness of political institutions, the role of policing, criminal justice systems, choking financing for militancy, and regulating the use of media and technology by militants. Military force alone, also examined in this volume, will not solve Pakistan's Islamist challenge. With original insights and attention to detail, the authors provide a roadmap for Western and Pakistani policymakers alike to address the weaknesses in Pakistan's CT strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moeed Yusuf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626160457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626160453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 5.99w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 343","brand":"Moeed Yusuf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652393300223,"sku":"9781626160453","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95383357-d94b-4c8f-8a96-50c1aa298e19.jpg?v=1704215889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pakistans-counterterrorism-challenge-moeed-yusuf-9781626160453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
