  • Pakistan's Political Hybridity
    Pakistan’s political hybridity: Asymmetric coexistence between Democracy and Martial law An infamous aphorism goes, "…While every country has an army, the Pakistani Army has a country". And indeed, in Pakistan, the Military Establishment has been for long the de facto ruler of the country, overshadowing the political landscape, garnering greater power and legitimacy for itself, leaving the civilian government and other executive bodies in state of disarray and implicit vassalage. Nevertheless, what some could consider complete political takeover, in reality is a complex situation of political hybridity, with an asymmetric coexistence between democratic and military elements, where the Army, more than often, has the final say. This article will further examine this hybrid nature, arguing that Pakistan’s history since its establishment has been built on the perceptions of continuous external threats and domestic unrests, which have been a manifestation of its existential struggle to define its identity, as a result of which the country has failed in consolidating its civil governance, providing the Army with oxygen to operate in a state of impunity due to these promulgated feelings of constant uncertainty and pressing emergency. It will use as case studies the latest fiasco of Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s extension of tenure and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s sit-in protests in Islamabad, analysing their implications for the future of democracy in the country and the stronghold of the Army. It will ultimately argue that the role of the Military Establishment should be solely restricted to protecting the borders of the country and henceforth, the article will put forward recommendations and comprehensive strategies for strengthening the democratic governance of Pakistan.

  • Saudi Arabia and Pakistan - Strategic Alliance
    Herzliya Conference Papers. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan - strategic alliance Shaul shay April 2018 Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have long maintained a strong strategic relationship. The Saudi-Pakistani relationship is a vast and dynamic web of cooperative linkages, age-old bonds of friendship. 1 The two countries work together extensively at the international level, within the framework of several bilateral, regional and global organizations including the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).2 Saudi Arabia is the biggest exporter of oil and petroleum products to Pakistan, while Saudi Arabia has been a key market for Pakistani goods and services. 3 Saudi Arabia, which hosts 1.9 million Pakistanis, tops the list of countries with highest remittances to Pakistan over $4.5 billion annually.4 Pakistan has traditionally maintained that its bilateral relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is its most important diplomatic relationship. 5 According to the annual GFP (Global Fire Power) review, Pakistan is currently ranked 13 out of 133 countries on the list of military strength.6 With one of the largest armies in the world and as the only declared nuclear power in the Muslim world, Pakistan has maintained a unique position and works closely with Saudi Arabia. Pakistani military personnel frequently serve in Saudi Arabia and its last army chief, General Raheel Sharif, now heads an Islamic army coalition based out of Riyadh.7 The Pakistani Inter-Services Public Relations agency said on February 17, 2018, that a contingent of troops will be stationed in Saudi Arabia on a “training and advisory mission.”8 The announcement followed a meeting between Saudi Arabia's Ambassador, Nawaf Saeed Al-Maliki, and Pakistan Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa at General Headquarters Rawalpindi.

C. Christine Fair, Kerry Ashkenaze and Scott Batchelder Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA ABSTRACT Between 1978 and 1992, Sikh militants rampaged across the northern Indian state of the Punjab demanding that a homeland for Sikhs, called Khalistan, be carved from that state. The so-called Khalistanis, with Pakistan’s extensive support, waged a brutal campaign of violence that killed tens of thousands. While Indian security forces eviscerated the various Khalistani groups by 1992, support for the movement remained strong in pockets of the global Sikh diaspora. Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, also worked to keep the move­ ment alive wherever possible. Pakistan’s efforts have paid off: in recent years, the Khalistan movement has rehabilitated itself even within India. We con­ structed a novel dataset of Khalistani terror incidents perpetrated in the last decade.

  • The Removal of Nawaz Sharif and Changing Role of Punjab in Pakistani Politics
    December 2014 15 August 2017 The Removal of Nawaz Sharif and Changing Role of Punjab in Pakistani Politics Tridivesh Singh Maini FDI Associate Key Points The removal from office of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could be the precedent for a change of approach towards the civil-military relationship on the part of the influential province of Punjab. The most populous province of Pakistan, Punjab has long dominated the Pakistani polity and military. Sharif’s party, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), heads both the Punjab provincial government and the national government. If the PML-N decides to continue Sharif’s attempts at better relations with India, it will again place the government at odds with the army, which wants oversight of foreign policy issues pertaining to Afghanistan and India. If the PML-N is interested in improving links with India, it will need to take action against terrorist groups. Summary The most populous province of Pakistan, Punjab has long dominated the Pakistani polity and military. Initially, at least, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif – a Punjabi – enjoyed a close relationship with the army. That relationship soured, however, following his dismissal from office during his first term as Prime Minister in 1993. A key factor for the falling out between Sharif and the army was the former’s attempts to build a better relationship with India. Arguably, that enmity only increased during Sharif’s third, most recent, term in office. In the wake of Sharif’s disqualification on 28 July 2017, the influential, traditionally pro-army Punjab leadership is now instead backing Sharif’s party, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), or PML-N.

As with every such transition, American and international scholars and polic.y analysts are hopeful that this anny chief will be different from his predecessors. The tendency towards confinnation bias that "this general will be different" is driven by the fact that Pakistan's anny has long dominated the country's domestic and foreign affairs. As such, the army- not the elected ciVilians-presides over numerous issues that are of key concern to the U.S. government, including: nuclear weapons an? employment doctrine; relations with key Islamist militant groups (inter alta Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad GeM), Haqqani Network, Afghan Taliban); and bilateral relations with India; bilateral relations with Afghanistan; among numerous others. This essay takes on the circulating wisdom that Bajwa will somehow be a positive change for the institution he runs and the major policy levers he will control. It first assess the issue of the balance of power between civilian politicians and the army. Here, it is argued that the army's views of these issues are pre-eminent and will remain so for the policy-relevant future. While there may be some light between the inclinations of the army and *C.
