Political parties are integral to democracies. Yet, they frequently engage in violent behavior and form electoral alliances with non-state armed actors. When do parties engage in, or facilitate, violence and what determines the strategy of violence that they employ? Under the Gun explores these questions in the context of Pakistan.
