Pakistan in 2018
Parliamentary elections in July 2018 brought the right-wing Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf, headed by former cricketer Imran Khan, to power. The PTI finished short of the 137 seats needed to form a government. But it emerged as the single largest party in parliament. Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison for owning assets disproportionate to his income
Pakistan
Pakistan's July 2018 parliamentary election brought to power the right-wing Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf, headed by former cricket star Imran Khan. The victory of Khan, who rails against political elites and against corruption, fits with the global trend of rising support for extremist populist leaders. Yet it also reflects the particular realities of Pakistan's hybrid regime. Khan became a serious contender thanks in large part to his alliance with …
Do U.S. Drone Strikes Cause Blowback? Evidence from Pakistan and Beyond
Many analysts argue that U.S. drone strikes generate blowback: by killing innocent civilians, such strikes radicalize Muslim populations at the local, national, and even transnational levels. This claim, however, is based primarily on anecdotal evidence, unreliable media reports, and advocacy-driven research by human rights groups. Interview and survey data from Pakistan, where, since 2004, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has launched more t…
The dog that did not bark
In June 1975, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed Emergency rule, capping off a decade long process of the ‘deinstitutionalisation’ of the founding Congress party, increased social mobilisation, and political instability – factors generally considered conducive to military intervention in politics. Organisational factors encouraging military praetorianism, such as military involvement in internal security missions and the growth of ‘rival…
Democracy Deadlocked in Bangladesh
The prospects for successful democratic consolidation in Bangladesh will depend on the political elites' ability to abandon their zero-sum rivalry and demonstrate commitment to democratic norms in their attitudes and behavior
Pakistan in 2015
Pakistan’s government adopted an ambitious National Action Plan to counter terrorism. Aside from poor implementation, the plan remains bedeviled by the powerful military’s selective counterterrorism approach, which targets hostile militant groups, like the Pakistani Taliban, but employs others, including the Afghan Taliban, to assert its own influence over Kabul and limit what it sees as Indian interference in Afghanistan

Pakistan in 2014
A year after assuming power, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government faced a political crisis fomented by the pro-military opposition leader Imran Khan, who mobilized his supporters to protest alleged electoral rigging in the 2013 poll. Khan had to call off the protests after the Pakistani Taliban’s grisly terrorist attack on an army-run school in retaliation for the army’s offensive against them in North Waziristan
The Army and Democracy
In sharp contrast to neighboring India, the Muslim nation of Pakistan has been ruled by its military for over three decades. The Army and Democracy identifies steps for reforming Pakistan's armed forces and reducing its interference in politics, and sees lessons for fragile democracies striving to bring the military under civilian control.
Constraining consolidation
Why do some militaries retain high authoritarian prerogatives during transitions from militarized authoritarian rule? The Pakistan military's 2007 extrication shows that an important part of the answer lies in the level of structural differentiation between the "military government" and the "military institution". Despite sustained contentious opposition to military rule, the high level of separation between these two military dimensions of the s…

Pakistan After Musharraf
An uneasy relationship between military and civilian power hangs like a cloud over the future of democratic reform in Pakistan. Praetorianism has been a deeply-ingrained feature in Pakistani politics since the country’s birth, making depoliticization of the military a nettlesome task for any civilian government, particularly given that the military’s “prerogatives” comprise the defense sector, internal security, legal system, and even foreign rel…
Soldiers and Islamists in Pakistan
Soldiers and Islamists in Pakistan Aqil Shah (bio) Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military. By Hussain Haqqani . Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. 2005. 397 pp. Long after the third wave of democratization has washed over the rest of the world, Pakistan remains one of the last military-authoritarian holdouts. [End Page 169] In its 59 years as an independent state, the country has rarely had a democratically consolidated regime and its mos…
Pakistan's "Armored" Democracy
Has General Musharraf restored "real" democracy or is civilian rule merely a cover for institutionalizing the military's political dominance? What explains the stunning electoral performance of the religious parties in the country's western provinces of the North West Frontier and Baluchistan? Will their newly found political power affect the state and civil society in Pakistan? If so, how? This essay examines the stateof democracy in Pakistan in…
South Asia Faces the Future
In the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the subsequent changes in regional and global geopolitical alignments, what are the prospects for a return to civilian rule and open democratic politics in Pakistan? How serious a threat do local Islamic fundamentalist groups pose to Pakistan's political stability? What is the course that a future democratic process could take to return Pakistan to elective rule
