Therefore, the omnipotent states use force against any non-state entities involved in violence and declare them terrorists regardless of the nature of their demands. Because of its peculiarity, Pakistan has gone through sweetand- sour kind of relationship with the violent non-state actors (NSAs). Pakistan’s choice to adhere to which type of paradigm domestically was greatly influenced by its foreign relations. In this quagmire, it could neither build the state nor the nation as was needed. Although in the contemporary state-centric international structure, states
remain the fountainhead of power. |
