Implications of Fencing the Pak-Iran Border on the Livelihoods of the People in the Border Sharing Districts in Balochistan
Description
This study is a qualitative exploratory research which uses Livelihood Strategy Approach as its theoretical framework to explore the implications of fencing the Pak-Iran border on the livelihoods of the people who are involved in the trade of unregulated products in border sharing districts in Balochistan. It covers the perceptions and concerns of the people whose livelihood is being affected due to the fencing. Using the six key components of the Livelihood Strategy Approach, this paper looks at the implications in biophysical, political/legal, economic, social, cultural, and psychological spheres. The study found out that severe implications exist on the livelihoods of the people in all of the aforementioned components, and this has caused restlessness among people. Moreover, this study also explores the different reasons for extreme implications on the livelihoods of the people and ways to overcome them.
