In Democracy and Authoritarianism in Pakistan: The Role of the Military and Political Parties the author has attempted to untangle this intriguing riddle. In this nuanced and detailed study of the process of democratisation and its correlation with the military and civilian regimes the book traces the evolution, deviation and reconsolidation of democratic process and institutions in Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt demonstrates the role of political parties and the military in shaping the nature of democracy in Pakistan. The study locates the centrality of political parties in Pakistan politics and demonstrates how civilian and military regimes have instrumentalised political parties for regime legitimisation and stabilisation. It engages in a comprehensive assessment of qualitative transformations of societal and political dynamics, changes within political parties, party system and military and their implications for democracy at various phases of Pakistani politics. The book also examines how individuals and ideologies have played determinative role in shaping the nature of democratic process in Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shiraz Sheikh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9389137241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789389137248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e K W Publishers Pvt Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Shiraz Sheikh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47244321620223,"sku":"9789389137248","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_325ab9e0-e854-4c35-9185-c8730e63dd00.jpg?v=1758135458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-and-authoritarianism-in-pakistan-shiraz-sheikh-9789389137248","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
