The Marketing of Rebellion Insurgents, Media and International Activism Author Clifford Bob (2005)  Bob, C. (2005). The Marketing of Rebellion: Insurgents, Media and International Activism. Cambridge University Press. Book Review by Dr. Shahbaz Israr Khan    The book review has been published in Peace and Conflict Review Volume 6-Issue 1 ISSN: 1659-3995 Who shall earn the support, the savviest or the neediest? Most probably the savviest! I am not talking about the corporate sector support, where the Darwinian norms and rules reign supreme, but the support of the global civil society. Is it astonishing? As most of us consider the opposite in case of civil society; the support goes to the neediest not the savviest. Assume the causes which are the neediest but cannot draft proposals or communicate in international languages, cannot operate the websites, their profile does not match the profile of the donor and so on. Will they be supported by the civil society?

Aspiring lips and searching eyes Withering buds and shattering dreams Smog spilling with no hope of light

Ten year old fairy was she With paralyzed hands and feet Looking out side the window

Seeking Peace Sun has descended with the fear of darkness Mountains and deserts fearing with its sharpness Plants and trees all in slumber

I whispered to myself by holding emerald Is there any enrapturing land in the world? I closed my eyes and fell in dream

Youth and the Millennium Development Goals in Pakistan Research shows that countries having relatively young population structures are at greater risk for civil strife. Moreover, underdeveloped and developing countries in which youth are devoid of representation and basic facilities are at even higher risk. There are 62 countries considered ‘very young’, and Pakistan is among them. According to the US Census Bureau, Pakistan has 30.2% youth (ages 15-29) of its total projected population.
