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.
