Abstract	:	This thesis analyzes Shia-Sunni sectarianism in the northern tribal areas of Pakistan, and the role of Iran in exacerbating such violence in recent years. The northern tribal regions have been experiencing an unprecedented level of violence between Sunnis and Shias since the rise of the Tehreek-e-Taliban militant party in the area. Most research and analysis of sectarian violence has marked the rise as an exacerbation of theologically-driven hatred between Sunnis and Shias. Moreover, recent scholarship designates Pakistan as a self- deprecating 'failed' state because of its mismanagement and bad governance with regard to the 'war on terror.' However, the literature ignores the role of external factors, such as Iranian's foreign policy towards Pakistan playing out in the tribal areas of Pakistan in the period since the Soviet-Afghan War.
