Pakistan is the world’s fifth most populous country and maintains the fifth largest army to be sitting on a considerable nuclear arsenal. Historically the Pakistan Army is a successor to the British Indian Army and governed Pakistan directly for a period of thirty years (Akhtar 2018; Zaidi 2014). It benefited from the emergence of a security centric political economy, which helped it to become the fulcrum of the Pakistani polity and “guardian” of its political system (Jalal 1990; Saif 2010)
