“…Therefore, both countries initiated discussions to revise ATTA (Rahim, 2017). In order to increase volume of transit trade efficiently and overcome on previous challenges during ATTA, a re-negotiated transit trade agreement known as APTTA signed between two countries in 2010 and became operational in June 2011 (Khan, 2016). The APTTA was redesigned to allow the transit of Afghan exports through Pakistan to India and to the seaport cities of Karachi and Gwadar.…”

“…In August 1869, Kaufman accused the khanate of Khiva of inciting disturbances in nomads subject to Russia, not releasing Russian captive at Khiva and providing shelter to rebels and robbers. 16 It is interesting to note that after the failure of his mission to Khiva, A. Ignative called it a "den of robbers" and in a letter to Katenin, the Governor General of Orenburg, wrote that to expect any consideration or respect form Khiva for an international agreement was a farce. 17 Kaufman on 20 th September 1869 again stressed the Khivan authority to punish the robbers, restore the property snatched by them and release all Russian and Bukharan captives.…”

Mankind is witnessed to the fact that imperialism has been exhibiting in human history in many forms since long. Subjugation was the earliest form of it where in an empire overpowered an alien society, exploited its land, raw material and subjected it to the service of the superior authority. A similar formula of exploiting the land and people of Central Asia has been assumed by the Russian Imperial power during the nineteenth century. The imperial move of Russia towards this region was considered as the ultimate consequence of a continuous process of expansion of the Russian Empire. This expansionist drive of Russia into the region has been attributed to several factors such as political, military, strategic and above all the economic factor is believed to be the dominant one. The conquest provided the Russian Tsars a golden opportunity to hold their control over a vast area of striking geographic and human diversity. The motives behind this conquest were multidimensional, interrelated and complex. During this process of expansion, the state of Khiva was the first priority of the Russian Empire while materializing their future programme and policies. Though the Empire had already attempted to occupy the state, yet it could not get success prior to 1873. The importance of Khiva cannot be ignored while dealing with the question of Russian conquest of Central Asia in general and Khiva in particular.

“…Unfortunately, most of the existing literature cocnerning NMDs focuses on terrorism and violent extremism [4,5], with only a few studies addressing the social welfare, institutional structures, and regulatory mechanisms as critical areas for improving post-conflict governance and service delivery [6,7]. Other studies examine the impact of various socio-economic indicators on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the provisions made for them [8][9][10].…”

Several studies have examined the humanitarian Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) in postconflict environments. However, there has been limited focus on establishing and making available an institutional setup for child welfare, which harnesses CIMIC experiences in the post-conflict rehabilitation phase. This paper aims to address this gap in the Newly Merged Districts (NMDs) of Pakistan, where the local population experienced a series of crises in the form of terrorism, subsequent military operations, and conflict-induced internal displacement, making children, in particular, extremely vulnerable. In doing so, the paper outlines the underreported vulnerabilities related to the children of NMDs and further identifies the related institutional dynamics of CIMIC in the immediate post-conflict environment. The key findings encompass the delineation of direct and indirect vulnerabilities and the identification of a lack of distinction between child welfare and protection for adequate redressal policies. Regarding the pre-existing institutional infrastructure, the study confirms the prominent role of national and international development organizations and further validates the discord between relevant government departments in providing child welfare services. Furthermore, this research argues that the Pakistan military deployed throughout the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) effectively utilized the pre-existing social-tribal hierarchy to provide protection and development services. The research suggests that the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), specifically through its Gender and Child Cell, collaborates closely with the Social Welfare Department, which is responsible for providing child protection and welfare services in the post-merger environment. The objective of this collaborative effort is to facilitate the effective and practical implementation of Child Protection Units (CPUs) in the NMDs.
