Baloch Nationalism and the Geopolitics of Energy Resources: The Changing Context of Separatism in Pakistan by Robert J. Wirsing.
"The author argues that Pakistan’s rapidly mounting energy insecurity magnifies the economic and strategic importance of Pakistan’s sprawling and energy-critical southwestern province of Balochistan, while it simultaneously complicates Pakistan’s efforts for coping with the province’s simmering Baloch tribal separatist insurgency. He concludes that Pakistan’s government needs to overhaul its counterinsurgent policies to avoid protracted conflict and to enlist the Baloch as partners in energy development, not antagonists of it.

She also aims to educate the reader about the value inherent in particular concepts that could be controversial but are part of Muslims' historical legacy.

The Challenge of Nuclear-Armed Regional Adversaries by David Ochmanek - U263.O34 2008

This book examines the reasons behind this important shift in the international security environment and its strategic and force planning implications. " - Editorial Reviews
