Abstract
The deteriorating law and order situation in the NWFP and FATA has some intrinsic causative agents and many more contributing factors. A number of research articles have been published on the issue, but rarely the problem of extremism has been studied and analysed in its socio-economic and historical perspective. This paper critically examines the various extremist trends and policies in the last thirty-five years, with their implications for law-enforcement and administration in the conflict-ridden areas of the NWFP and FATA. A critical evaluation of the past and present counter-terrorism approaches is also presented.
