Abstract
The key objective of this project was to determine students‘ perception of
relationship between regime type and terrorism. It wanted to find out whether the
type of regime in Pakistan determines the effectiveness of counter-terrorism policy
or not. There is already established literature on both sides of the argument, but this
study wanted to illustrate students‘ perception of regime type in Balochistan that is
already experiencing worst form of nationalist and religious terrorism in the
presence of weak political government. The level of democracy is not that high in
Pakistan, but when it comes to Balochistan, it is totally compromised and crippled.
Students have been at the forefront of many violent and non-violent movements in
Balochistan, which makes it necessary to determine their perceptions of regime type
effectiveness in the war against terrorism and extremism. This study is primarily
conducted in Quetta, because of various reasons, which are given in the
methodology section of the report. The report is based on quantitative research,
where survey has been used as data collection method. The result of the study is
supporting the established literature of a positive relationship between democracy
and terrorism.
