Civil-military relations in Pakistan : from Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to Benazir Bhutto

"Taking an explicitly comparative theoretical approach, Saeed Shafqal presents a comprehensive exploration of civil-military relations in Pakistan. He begins by describing the history of military hegemony in this volatile South Asian country and then examines the breakdown of military control, assessing the rise of the Pakistan People's Party and the changing configuration of party-military relations."--BOOK JACKET
