Socio-economic Disparities in Balochistan: Assessing Structural Etiology

Abstract

    This study attempts to explain the insurgency in Balochistan in the context of existing socio-economic disparities. Structural etiology is a systemic and institutionalized deprivation of the people to their needs and rights. The empirical evidence suggests that violence in Balochistan is a complex phenomenon triggered by numerous instigators. The data on socio-economic indicators testifies that Balochistan lags behind the rest of the provinces on all important indicators, which points towards structural negligence. From the analysis of the data collected through interviews, socio-economic discrimination has been an influential factor that promoted Baloch insurgency.
