Description:
The focus of the book is on Pakistan's political history. With a chapter on the establishment of Pakistan as a backgrounder, the book thoroughly examines constitution- making and the characteristic features of various constitutions and why and how these did not work effectively. It analyses the working of the military governments of Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, and Ziaul Haq as well as the working of the elected civil governments after Pakistan's return to civilian rule in 1985. It also analyses the programmes and functioning of various political parties along with their election performance and leader ship.
The problems of political and economic management and the poor track record of democracy have been discussed with reference to a host of factors, including the crisis of leadership, decline and degeneration of the Muslim League, weak and disorganized political parties, domination of the political process by the feudal and other traditional elite, interference of the head of state in day-to-day political affairs and the rise of the bureaucratic-military.
