Pakistan 2011, The Round Table, The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs, December 2011
Abstract
Pakistan has been in the forefront of foreign policy debate for decades, at times condemned as a failing or failed state, also as a 'terrorist' state. As the country faces continuing pressure from the fallout of the war in Afghanistan as well as deepening internal strife, this article gives an overview of Pakistan's problems, highlighting growing anti-Western sentiment and emphasising the importance of institutional stability, as well as a resolution of 'the Kashmir issue'. |

Kashmiri separatism & Pakistan in the current global environment
Contemporary South Asia, The Cohesion and Stability of Pakistan, March 2008, produced by The Pakistan Security Research Unit (PSRU), Bradford.
Abstract
The theme of this paper is to review the extent to which, in the post-9/11 environment, it became difficult for Pakistan to continue its covert support of the Kashmiri separatist movement at the same time as assisting the United States and its allies in the global 'War on Terror'. The paper will explain the origins of Pakistan's support and also examine the potential that the dispute between India and Pakistan over the state of Jammu and Kashmir still has to act as a de-stabilising factor in Pakistan and the region. The argument is that the Kashmir issue no longer has the same explosive characteristics it had 20 years or even 10 years ago, and that a genuine attempt has been made by the Pakistan government to curtail cross-border terrorism - although it has not been entirely successful, mainly because the militant groups have succeeded in establishing a momentum of their own. Yet, even after 60 years, there remains a general reluctance to let go of the Kashmir issue without some tangible political gain. |

Who will take on the Bhutto family mantle?
Daily Telegraph, 30 December 2007.
"With my faith in God, I put my fate in the hands of my people," wrote Benazir Bhutto in a postscript to her updated autobiography penned just before her return to Pakistan two months ago. |

A great and brave friend
Daily Telegraph, 28 December 2007.
When I said goodbye to Benazir Bhutto two months ago just after she had survived a bomb attack she said she would "catch me later". I was returning to England after accompanying her on her return journey to Karachi and those were the last words she said to my face. To me, they epitomised our friendship which had started 33 years ago, when we were students at Oxford. |

'When the bomb went off'. A personal account
Daily Telegraph, 21 October 2007.
It was just after midnight. I was sitting dozing on the top deck of the open air armoured truck bearing Benazir Bhutto on her triumphal return to Pakistan. The bus was making its slow progress from Karachi’s international airport to the Jinnah mausoleum. |
