The cases described show how military strength, patience, flexibility, and political will should be sequenced and balanced to guarantee sustainable progress.’ Diana Quintero, Vice Minister of Defence for Strategy and Planning, Colombia, 2011–15 ‘This study highlights the most difficult aspect of intra-state conflict: the dilemma of coercion and peace-talk. Those who seek a peaceful solution to any conflict could learn from its findings.’ Rizal Sukma, Ambassador of Indonesia to the UK ‘With a series of impressive case studies, Samir Puri provides a systematic and sobering analysis of the problems of sustaining a political track with violent non-state actors.’ Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies, King’s College London For further information see the IISS book synopsis https://www.samirpuri.com/books-1/instructor-bios-77b4h monthly 0.5 2020-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d70cb0f05d59f00010c3b7e/1581844819575-0Y2RPGQWNWPHUM1A3SGS/Pakistan%27s+War+on+Terror.jpg Academia - Pakistan's War on Terrorism (Routledge Asian Security Series) Examines Pakistan's strategies in the war against armed groups that began late 2001, following the 9/11 attacks, its alliance with the US and regional relations with India and Afghanistan.
