Dr. Aqab Malik - Talking with the Taliban - A Strategic Dilemma for Pakistan

Описание: Dr. Aqab Malik provides an insightful talk as a Senior Fellow at the School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University.

In doing so, the government is setting the stage for appeasement and negotiating from a position of weakness, which is compounded by endemic corruption, nepotism, fatalism, intolerance, extremism, radicalisation, and terrorism.
