Introduction Notes INTRODUCTION 1. Iftikhar H. Malik, 'Pakistan's Security Imperatives and Relations with the United States' in K. Matinuddin and L. Rose (eds), Beyond Afghanistan: The Emerging U.S.-Pakistan Relations, Berkeley, 1989, pp. 60--93. 2. Louis D. Hayes, The Struggle for Pakistan, Lahore, 1982, p. 3. 3. Zbigniew Brzenzinski, representing a section of opinion in the West in 1988, stated that: 'The Pakistanis should not be pressured by outsiders to move precipitously toward "democracy", for that could actually intensify domestic tensions given the ethnic and political hatreds inherent in Pakistan ... If the younger surviving senior officers should move to create a transi­ tional regime, Pakistan deserves the West's sympathetic encouragement, not strident lectures.' The Times (London), 26 August 1988. British conserva­ tive opinion was equally sceptical of the PPP, as was observed in a leading comment: 'It is to be hoped that Pakistan's new economic well-being will rally support behind conservatives Iike Mr. Junejo. There is, however, a risk that General Zia's political excesses will deli ver victory to Miss Benazir Bhutto.' The Daily Telegraph (London), 19 August 1988. 4. Christi na Lamb, a British journalist in Islamabad, reported an attempted military coup which was denied by Benazir Bhutto, General Beg and Pakistan's foreign office. See The Financial Times (London), 8 September 1989; The Daily Jang (London) 9, 10, 11 and 12 September 1989. But Christi na Lamb insists that her report was not based on hearsay as she had been informed by a very reliable source. See Christina Lamb, Waiting For Allah: Pakistan 's Struggle for Democracy, London, 1991, pp. 16-17. 5. For instance, see G. W. Choudhury, Constitutional Developments in Pakistan, New York, 1959. 6.

There is a huge amount of literature available dealing with the historical and theoretical dimensions of state, its evolution and policies vis-a-vis national institution-building. In the case of Pakistan, one finds a growing collection of useful works on the subject. For instance, see M. Asghar Khan (ed.), Islam, Polities and the State: The Pakistan Experienee, London, 1985; William Richter, 'Persistent Praetorianism: Pakistan's Third Military Regime', Paeifie Affairs, 51 (3), 1978, pp. 406-26; Ayesha Jalal, The State ofMartial Rule in Pakistan: The Origins of Pakistan 's Politieal Economy ofDefenee, Cambridge, 1990; and Zamir Niazi, The Press in Chains, Karachi, 1987 (reprint). 31. More recently, there has been an interest in investigating the kind of system and traditions that Pakistan inherited so as to understand its present predica­ ment. For a noteworthy study, see D. A. Low (ed.), The Politieal Inheritanee of Pakistan, London, 1991. 32. In recent years, a few revealing works that do not speeifically fall into the realm of serious research but are exposes by nature, have tried to record issues such as monopolisation of power by the military, trans-regional feu­ dalism and criminalisation of state-Ied institutions like intelligence agen­ eies. See Benazir Bhutto, Daughter of the East, London, 1988; Emma Duncan, Breaking the Curfew.

In fact, all the major theories of social change since the nineteenth century considered the 'Indian' model to be irrelevant. Following Marx, Weber and Tawney, the inter-war constitutionaIism and post-war models of develop­ ment have been based on specific environments, not particularly germane to South Asia. 45. Subrata K.

  • Biradari Politics of Alliances and Opposition in Jhang District During the Military Regimes: a Case Study of General Pervez Musharraf’S Rule
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 56, Issue No. 2 (July – December, 2019) Syed Munawar Abbas * Razia Sultana ** Biradari Politics of Alliances and Opposition in Jhang District during the Military Regimes: A case Study of General Pervez Musharraf’s Rule Abstract Biradarism is also fundamental characteristic of socio-politics of district Jhang [Pakistani-Punjab]; its dominant biradaris have immense potential to decisively influence national, provincial and district levels politics [on behalf of their eco- social supremacy]. The formation of electoral alliances is based on the collaborative interest-based national and local [biradari] power politics. Number of alliances were locally constituted by national aristocracy [especially by dictators]. Locally-constituted-alliances under different dictators had further strengthened the exploitative grip of these biradaris. The most decisive alliances [and their respective oppositions] were formulated during different elections of Musharraf’s regime; in which Syeds collaborated with Lalis and Qazis; Sials with Syeds and Moulvis [Religious groups]; and Sahibzaadaaz with Cheela-Sials. Biradaris [clans/castes] have been remained the integral part of mainstream politics in Sub-continent, particularly in western Punjab [Pakistani] and most importantly in its sub-units like Jhang district. After the creation of Pakistan, their dominant eco-social roles have become more vibrant in all respects, especially in politics. Every biradari has different levels of importance due to its numbers, economic resources, political affiliations, land holdings and social networking.1 These are the basic factors, which lead the biradaris to hold power at local level [Biradarism] as well as at provincial and national levels. Biradaris are embodiment of power in Pakistani politics.

  • Group Identity and Civil-Military Relations in India and Pakistan By
    Group identity and civil-military relations in India and Pakistan by Brent Scott Williams B.S., United States Military Academy, 2003 M.A., Kansas State University, 2010 M.M.A., Command and General Staff College, 2015 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Security Studies College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Abstract This dissertation asks why a military gives up power or never takes power when conditions favor a coup d’état in the cases of Pakistan and India. In most cases, civil-military relations literature focuses on civilian control in a democracy or the breakdown of that control. The focus of this research is the opposite: either the returning of civilian control or maintaining civilian control. Moreover, the approach taken in this dissertation is different because it assumes group identity, and the military’s inherent connection to society, determines the civil-military relationship. This dissertation provides a qualitative examination of two states, Pakistan and India, which have significant similarities, and attempts to discern if a group theory of civil-military relations helps to explain the actions of the militaries in both states. Both Pakistan and India inherited their military from the former British Raj. The British divided the British-Indian military into two militaries when Pakistan and India gained Independence. These events provide a solid foundation for a comparative study because both Pakistan’s and India’s militaries came from the same source. Second, the domestic events faced by both states are similar and range from famines to significant defeats in wars, ongoing insurgencies, and various other events.
