Abstract
- The article discusses whether there is a failure of democracy in Pakistan. The country faces enormous security pressures due to multifaceted problems with India. As State survival became the country's primary concern, the military assumed a greater importance. In the wake of weak political leadership, the military's top brass began to assert its centrality in matters of governance and political management. Military rulers have managed to secure substantial external backing for themselves.
