A chronicle of Pakistan’s political history that offers concise accounts of the major political events and constitutional issues, the making and the breaking of interim and regular constitutions going back to the establishment of Pakistan in August 1947. The book focuses on Pakistan’s challenges of state building and nation building, and the search for a viable participatory political order. It examines political and constitutional engineering by civilian and military-bureaucratic governments to serve their partisan interests, and Pakistan’s conflictual politics devoid of the democratic culture and civility. The book also offers insights into the changing patterns of civil-military relations, ascendancy of the military to political power, civilianization of military rule through power-sharing, and the shift from military “rule” to “role”. It also examines the internal and external dimensions of the East Pakistan/Bangladesh crisis, national and provincial elections, protest movements including the lawyers movement and the Caretaker governance system in Pakistan.

Academics and policy makers have grown increasingly interested in the ways that non-governmental organisations (NGOs) may encourage better governance, democratic politics, and perhaps ultimately a global civil society. However, critics of these organisations have pointed out that NGOs tend to be undemocratic in their internal politics, they speak for groups of people to whom they are not accountable through elections or financial support and they often represent the interests of people in wealthy countries at the expense of truly indigenous people. The main questions revolve around whether and how NGOs actually lead to democratisation, and the ways in which NGOs relate to broader global forces.
In Civil Society, Globalization and Political Change in Asia, Robert Weller has brought together an international group of experts on the subject whose chapters address these questions through a series of extensive case studies from east and southeast Asia including Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam.

This book undertakes a comprehensive and documented study of the role of the military in Pakistan?s society and politics with a view to explaining why and how a professional military can acquire political disposition. The major themes have been studied with reference to three clusters of factors: the dynamics of the civil society and the working of the political institutions and processes, the military establishment and its organizational resources and professional and corporate interests; and the interaction across the functional boundaries between the military and the civil and its implications for the power balance in polity. The weaknesses of the civilian/political institutions and their inability to cope with diverse demands on the political system make it convenient for the senior commanders to expand their role and even assume power. However, military intervention is not necessarily and enduring remedy but it is a part of the overall problem of weak civilian institutions and political decay.
