Continuity and Changes in the Administration of FATA (1947-2017): A Case Study of Frontier Crime Regulation

Abstract

    FATA is a region within Pakistan that is often termed a "lawless region". It is governed through colonial-era discriminatory law i.e. Frontier Crime Regulation. Under FCR, the plight of the people of FATA was unimaginable. There have been reforms in the FCR in the past but they couldn't mainstream the people of FATA. The historic decision of the FATA-KP merger will lead the people of FATA from FCR to constitutionalism. This paper attempts to study the continuity and changes in the administrative structure of FATA since the inception of Pakistan till now. The paper ends with the logical decision to merge FATA with KP.
