The volume views the role of the Pakistani military in the governance of the country. Focusing on the military’s political role, it explains the intrusion of the military into politics and the implications of this for the country. It deals with the challenges faced by Pakistan, and how the political uncertainties and domestic disturbances, especially inability of prime ministers to provide stable governments, resulted in expansion of the military’s functions and the military assuming political power. The study refers to developments in Pakistan’s polity, economy and society to show the way military leaders removed elected leaders from power and the judiciary became a tool in the hands of the military.
