CSSForum.com.pk Content Copyright © jWorldTimes.com Jahangir World Times Published: January, 2013 Pakistan-Russia Cooperation Amidst Antagonism? Or just a geo-political shift … Despite being geographically contiguous, Pakistan and Russia have remained politically distant from each other during the last six decades. The framework of Cold War and the East-West confrontation defined relations between the two countries during that very period. GAZA Tuesday, January 01, 2013 This assessment of relations between Pakistan and Russia looks at the influence of South Asia and Central Asia's bilateral relations in a highly-charged and greatly-changed region on the pointed end of the futuristic post-2014 Afghanistan. Relationships between Pakistan and Russia will have important implications for the region's overall strategic picture in the years ahead. Two common elements emerge through a novel of bilateral relations between highly diverse nations seeking to escape the labyrinth. One common element is low politics in shape of economic interaction driven by global economic crisis powered by regionalism. The other is the high politics to deal with terrorism in the post-2014 (the withdrawal of the US forces from Afghanistan) approach. The regional bilateral relations sow the seeds of a multilateral approach based on the reciprocal benefits on equality basis. The question is whether cooperation bodes well for acceptance of the US politico-military leadership? Will such bilateral cooperation hurt the US interests in the region or the strategic diplomacy will be followed to balance the West with the East? In short, the central concerns of these analyses is how the Pakistan-Russia regional relationship affects, and are affected by, outside actors as well as themselves. -

The Feudal Tentacles: Is Feudalism Dead
Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 23, No.1, January-June 2018 Civil-Military Relations and Concordance Theory: A Case Study of Pakistan (1988-93) Qurat-ul-Ain Bashir* & Saiqa Hanif** Abstract The article attempts to apply the concordance model of Rebecca Schiff’s on Pakistan from 1988-93. The findings of the article have observed some contradictions and problem of oversimplification in the model with reference to Pakistan. The finding did not support her argument that concordance amid the three stake holders on four indicators could prevent military intervention in politics. In fact the results of this study are different than the model’s beliefs. ______ Introduction Rebecca L. Schiff’s ‘Theory of concordance’ argues that disagreement between three stake holders — military elite, civil elite and citizenry — on four indicators: social composition of the officer corps, the political decision-making process, the method of recruiting military personnel and the style of the military is the cause of military intervention in politics. It does not argue that absolute concordance is required between the three partners to prevent military rule but indicates that greater discordance will increase the possibility of martial law. The concordance theory also includes institutional and cultural changes that promote or prevent military’s political role.1 In the light of this discussion, the article attempts to test the concordance theory against the case study of Pakistan in the time frame of 1988-1993.2 The study will evaluate whether * Dr Qurat-ul-Ain Bashir, Assistant Professor, Department of History and Pakistan Studies, University of Gujrat, Gujrat. ** Ms. Saiqa Hanif, Associate Lecturer, Department of Political Science and International Relations, University of Gujrat, Gujrat. -

Profile of the Power Structure
CHAPTER 3 Profile of the Power Structure If Pakistan’s political history is to be presented in a capsule form, it will be seen largely as an interplay of three competing and often conflicting elements: (i) the popular forces seeking to assert themselves either spontaneously or organizationally on foreign policy issues as well as domestic ones; (ii) the power structure, sometimes cohesively responding to individual instructions or an institutional interest, or multiple channels, often working at cross purposes; and (iii) the American factor which has sought with varying degrees of success, to alimentally or concurrently influence both the popular forces and the power structure. In this interplay of forces, the most important element has been the power structure which has grown and evolved over time. Its present profile does not represent a monolith but multiple and competing channels of authority that derive strength from the institutions established by the state. The position of the various components in the power structure has changed and often the wielders of power have to become mere implementers of decision making as is the case of the foreign office or others like the civil bureaucracy. These are now viewed lower in authority than, say the Intelligence, which today ranks second only in importance to the army in the power structure. During the decade of the eighties the change in the power structure was characterized by two significant developments. First, the nature of the power sharing experiments which General Zia-ul-Haq initiated in 1985. The power structure was influenced by a diarchy in the person of the President and Chief of Army Staff, (since General Zia held both offices on the one hand, and the Prime Minister on the other. -

Higher Bureaucracy in Pakistan: an Historical Analysis of Praise and Blame
HIGHER BUREAUCRACY IN PAKISTAN: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF PRAISE AND BLAME Sarfraz Hussain Ansari & Fatima Bajwa* Abstract The higher bureaucracy of Pakistan has been subject of praise and blame since the creation of the country, and continues to be so. It is argued here that failings on the part of the higher bureaucracy must be seen against the behavior of Chief Executives in the country, whether such executives were styled governor-general/ president or prime minister and whether such offices were managed by politicians, military persons or members of the bureaucracy itself. A major characteristic of legal/constitutional instruments of rule in the country has been that of centralization of power. The paper analyses the interaction between the higher bureaucracy and the chief executive period-wise, illustrating that bureaucracy behaved in accordance with the style of chief executives. For example, during Quaid-i-Azam-Liaqat period, higher bureaucracy felt secure and acquitted itself honestly. During Ghulam Muhammad-Iskander Mirza period, it showed selfishness and tremendous negligence in public affairs. Under Ayub Khan, materialist attitude led to corruption on larger scale than before. During Bhutto period and later, most of its members lost the sense of values, with adverse moral consequences in the social and political spheres. Key Words: Chief Executive, Civil Service of Pakistan (CSP), Colonial Heritage, History of Pakistan Introduction he higher bureaucracy that Pakistan inherited from the British was, in the T early days, named -
