Politics in Pakistan has traditionally been understood in the
context of civil-military relationship. In May 2013, for the first
time in history, Pakistan saw an elected government complete a full
term in office and transfer power through the ballot box to another
civilian government. In view of such an important development, this
book offers critical perspectives on Pakistan's current democratic
transition and its implications for national politics, security and
foreign policy. It critically analyses the emerging political
trends in the country, including their underlying sources,
attributes, constraints, and prospects of sustainability. Drawing
on history, diverse theoretical perspectives, and empirical
evidence, it explains the dynamics of the democratic process,
contested borders and spaces, and regionalism. Contributions are
from 13 prominent scholars in the field, who provide a wide-ranging
analysis of Pakistan's contemporary national and regional
challenges, as well as the opportunities they entail for its
viability as a democratic state. Taking the debate on Pakistan
beyond the outmoded notions of praetorian politics and security,
the book explores the future prospects of civilian supremacy in the
country. It will be of interest to students and scholars of South
Asian Politics, Political Sociology and Security Studies, as well
as policy-makers, diplomats, security experts and military
professionals.
