Pakistan:
The Resurgence of Bloch Nationalism
A new conflict is
emerging in Baluchistan, a vast yet sparsely populated Pakistani province,
straddling three countries: Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. This
instability has potential implications for the United States, as it is a
launching pad for U.S. military operations against Islamic terrorism.
In a new Carnegie Paper, Pakistan: The
Resurgence of Baluch Nationalism, Visiting Scholar Frédéric Grare
provides insight to the numerous factors that have led to the complex
struggle between the Pakistani government and the Baluch population’s fight
for independence. Were Baluchistan to become independent, Pakistan would
lose a major part of its natural resources and Baluchistan would become a
new zone of instability in the region.
