The emergence of the judiciary as an assertive and confrontational
center of power has been the most consequential new feature of
Pakistan's political system. This book maps out the evolution of
the relationship between the judiciary and military in Pakistan,
explaining why Pakistan's high courts shifted from loyal deference
to the military to open competition, and confrontation, with
military and civilian institutions. Yasser Kureshi demonstrates
that a shift in the audiences shaping judicial preferences explains
the emergence of the judiciary as an assertive power center. As the
judiciary gradually embraced less deferential institutional
preferences, a shift in judicial preferences took place and the
judiciary sought to play a more expansive and authoritative
political role. Using this audience-based approach, Kureshi roots
the judiciary in its political, social and institutional context,
and develops a generalizable framework that can explain variation
and change in judicial-military relations around the world.
