| Σύνοψη: | Self-absorbed and disposed to muddle through even as their world is crumbling about them, the feudal elites who govern Pakistan are poorly equipped to resist the growing threat from radical Islamic forces. Having played the key role in the emergence of radical Islam in Pakistan by using jihadist groups to advance Pakistani foreign-policy interests in Afghanistan and Kashmir, Pakistani authorities have long since lost their ability to control them. The desultory Army performance against Pakistani Taliban forces in the tribal areas and the recent concessions made in Swat suggest they lack the will to decisively meet the radical Islamic threat. The consequence of their persistent failure to act may be the eventual collapse of the state. (Survival / SWP) |
