They did worse confronting the \"dilemma of democracy\" from 1993-1999 - how an elected government can complete its five year term and also provide a level playing field to the \"government-in-waiting\" to turn the tables at the end of the period. In consequence, Pakistan was driven straight into the jaws of martial law in 1999.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume traces the rise and fall of the second Bhutto regime from 1993-96. It records how, through the good offices of the Establishment, she began on a conciliatory note with Nawaz Sharif by offering to nominate a consensus candidate (Wasim Sajjad) as President in exchange for jointly undoing the notorious Clause 58-2(B) of the 8th Constitutional Amendment which hung like the sword of Damocles over every prime minister. It tracks the negotiations to breaking point, compelling her to nominate her \"own man\", Farooq Leghari, to the Presidency. It records Nawaz Shun cunning ways to drive a wedge between Leghari and Bhutto, which eventually led the former to use the 8th Amendment to sack the latter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe major policy issues that preoccupied Benazir Bhutto in her second term were nuclear proliferation, MQM terrorism in Karachi and conflict in Kashmir. The book explains how the US applied economic and military sanctions to pressure Pakistan to cap, freeze and roll back its nuclear programme but failed to achieve its objective. It details how she successfully tackled and put down MQM terrorism through effective use of civil-military power. And it records how she teamed up with the military to promote jihad in India-Occupied Kashmir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is about foul play by both Bhutto and Sharif; foreign policy blues; warlordism in Afghanistan; mythology of Mohajirism; nuclear policy; Mehrangate; General Mirza Aslam Beg's \"grand plan\"; threat of an India-Pak nuclear war; journalists for sale; pains of privatization; Indo-Pak relations; doctrine of necessity; corruption and Surreygate. The analysis covers the mind of Benazir Bhutto, her Achilles heel and fatal flaws.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is indispensable reading for the student of history who wishes to understand how and why democracy failed to take root in the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Book House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58963662667857,"sku":null,"price":3995.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/4536\/2513\/files\/PakistanUnderBenazirBhutto1993-1996.webp?v=1768463050"},{"product_id":"military-civil-society-and-democratization-in-pakistan","title":"Military Civil Society And Democratization In Pakistan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/strong\u003eS AKBAR ZAIDI\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/strong\u003e218\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing a political economy framework, this book examines issues related to the process of democratization, decentralisation, governance and civil society in Pakistan, in an historical and contemporary context. The book highlights social and structural transitions and transformations in economy and society, and shows how the emergence of new socio-economic groups and classes often come up against older and more established structures and institutions, resulting in conflict, contradiction and compromise. It provides a broad historical perspective of such developments, especially during the regime of General Pervez Musharraf (1999-2008). As such it is amongst the few serious evaluations of the political economy of the Musharraf years. A theme which recurs in many of the chapters relates to why there is prolonged military rule in Pakistan and why democracy has been unable to find its footings in Pakistan. An examination of the political process of 2007 leading up to the 2008 general elections and an examination of the role of political actors and of civil society forms an important core theme in this collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMilitary, Civil Society and Democratization in Pakistan will interest a wide and diverse set of readers. Those interested in the economic, social and structural transformation of Pakistan's society will find this book useful in understanding such trends and developments. Those who want to examine more typical and mainstream forms of democratization in a different, more dynamic, framework, looking at processes and how they unfold, will also benefit from this book.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Book House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59144278474833,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/4536\/2513\/files\/MilitaryCivilSocietyAndDemocratizationInPakistan.avif?v=1772171499"}],"url":"https:\/\/thebookhouse.pk\/collections\/military-studies.oembed","provider":"The Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
