Abstract
The dynamics and nature of civil- military relations in Pakistan is determinental for the stability of the political system. Direct and indirect military involvement in state policies has developed a sort of distrust and suspiciousness between civil institutions and military. Despite experiencing different constitutional political systems, the trust and predictability could not evolve for the sustained democratic process in Pakistan. The political infrastructure, issues and problems relating to national security also have an impact on the nature of civil military relations. In this context, the policies of elected government during 2008-2013 to control military involvement and influence for the effective functioning of civilian government have not been complied by the armed forces, rather has been taken as a challenge to its institutional strength. Military remained more confident and autonomous to deal with civilian government in this power-tussle. This article focusing the political, administrative and security situation of Pakistan, comprehends the nature of civil military relations during 2008-2013.
