Recenzii
1. Ms. Asifa Jahangir has developed the idea of "unintended consequences" as a driving force in Indo-Pak-Afghanistan relations, as a process of foreign intervention in the history of Afghanistan, and as a conceptual framework for advancing knowledge about international relations. Through her careful reading of primary documents on the history and foreign relations of the region, she has developed an original and significant contribution to the existing IR literature.
Further, she has taken a critical re-thinking of the history of Afghanistan through the lens of Orientalism, critically questioning how historical tropes were produced and circulated by various powers (particularly the British in the colonial period and the United States in the postcolonial era) to advance their own interests. Rather than providing "objective" histories of the region, certain tropes were employed to sanction interventions by colonial and imperialist powers. Significantly, Ms. Jahangir shows how those tropes continue to be employed by Pakistan and India in waging their proxy war in Afghanistan today.

2. "Pakistan under the shadow of Indo-Afghan Geopolitics" delves into the intricate web of historical, political, and cultural ties that bind these three nations. This book explores how Afghanistan has navigated the complex dynamics of regional power struggles, influence, and conflict through meticulous research and compelling narratives. From the strategic manoeuvres of the Cold War to the ongoing quest for stability and peace, the book provides a nuanced understanding of Afghanistan's pivotal role in South Asian geopolitics. I fervently suggest reading this book.
