STATE CIVIL SOCIETY DURING MUSHARRAF ERA IN PAKISTAN:AN APPRAISAL

Abstract

Developing countries typically find themselves at the focus of political and constitutional upheavals in addition to the complex socioeconomic issues they face. As a result, authoritarian regimes have frequently promoted this as a solution to the issues they are now experiencing in their political systems. This essay makes an effort to evaluate Pakistan's state civil society under Musharraf. The military has actively participated in Pakistan's political system since the middle of the 1950s, with varied degrees of character and scope over time. When it directly engaged, its departure was always slow and systematic, and it never transferred power to the civilian elite but instead shared it with them. Every military dictatorship, including General Pervez Musharraf's, emulated this pattern of civilization while making modest modifications to suit the situation. In his youth, he established the civil, state and society. This paper is an attempt to explain Musharraf’s regime that how he came into power and established civil, state and society in Pakistan.
