Description
This study examines Pakistan's modem history, focusing on the role the military has
played in the country's politics and its impact on the prospects for democracy. It attempts
to understand the motives behind the military 's frequent coup d 'etats and its rationale for
keeping and yielding power. More specifically, this study investigates President Pervez
Musharrars policies and initiatives, including electoral and constitutional changes, with
the objective of identifying obstacles to a peaceful transition to democracy. In this
respect, it probes and assesses the role played by the United States in Pakistan's domestic
and foreign policies in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Finally, this
study seeks to investigate the interplay of roles played by Islamic extremists, secular
groups and the military in hopes of assessing the prospects of a sustainable democracy in
Pakistan.
