Security and Democracy in Pakistan: Back to the Future?
The disintegration of the ruling coalition has undermined efforts to construct a democratic polity capable of tackling escalating economic, social, and security challenges in the country and the wider region. Whether or not the Taliban's growing influence Afghanistan and the border areas can be attributed to the meddling of the military-security establishment, one thing is clear: the failure of Pakistan's leaders to unite raises the prospect for a reassertion of the military.
