Description

Oxford Pakistan: The Garrison State by Ishtiaq Ahmad offers a critical examination of the role of the military in Pakistan’s political history. Focusing on the centrality of the military in shaping Pakistan's governance, this book delves into the evolution of Pakistan as a "garrison state" — a term used to describe a country where the military plays a dominant role in politics, security, and national identity. Ahmad’s comprehensive analysis explores the intertwining of military power with political institutions, and its long-term impact on Pakistan’s development.

Key Features:

  • Focus on the Military’s Role in Politics: The book highlights how Pakistan’s military has shaped the country’s political structure, from its involvement in coups and governance to its influence over foreign and security policies.
  • Analysis of the Garrison State Concept: Ahmad explores the idea of Pakistan as a "garrison state," examining how military priorities have often superseded civilian control, shaping key national decisions and contributing to the country’s internal and external dynamics.
  • Historical Context and Evolution: The book traces the historical development of military influence in Pakistan, beginning with its role in the early years of independence, and following its continued involvement through military regimes and civilian governments.
  • Impact on Governance and Society: The author discusses the consequences of the military's dominance on Pakistan’s governance, democracy, civil-military relations, and the wider society, considering how military power has affected economic development and social stability.
  • In-Depth Analysis of Key Events: Ahmad provides a detailed analysis of significant events such as military coups, the institutionalization of military influence, and the impact of strategic military alliances, particularly with the United States and neighboring countries.
  • Expert Scholarship: Ishtiaq Ahmad brings years of academic and research experience to the book, offering a nuanced and authoritative view of the subject while ensuring accessibility for both scholars and general readers.
