Check answer and explanation

Answer: اس سوال کو وضاحت میں پڑھے

Explanation How the War on Terrorism Shaped New Dimensions of Civil–Military Relations in Pakistan (20 Marks) The War on Terror, especially after 9/11 (2001), significantly transformed Pakistan’s civil–military relations. Pakistan became a key ally of the United States, which brought both strategic importance and internal security challenges. This period strengthened the military’s role in policy-making, security governance, and foreign relations, often reshaping the balance of power between civilian institutions and the armed forces. 1. Enhanced Role of Military in Policy-Making After 9/11, Pakistan’s military became central in decision-making regarding national security and foreign policy , particularly concerning Afghanistan and counter-terrorism operations. Civilian governments often had limited control over strategic decisions , especially in security-related matters. Example: Key decisions about cooperation with the US and operations in tribal areas were largely military-led . 2. Expansion of Military Operations Inside Pakistan The Pakistan Army launched major operations such as: Operation Rah-e-Rast (Swat) Operation Zarb-e-Azb (North Waziristan) These operations strengthened the military’s role in internal security management , traditionally a civilian domain. 3. Strengthening of Military Institutions Agencies like ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) gained greater prominence in counter-terrorism efforts. Military courts were introduced under the 21st Constitutional Amendment (2015) to try terrorism cases, showing expansion of military justice role. 4. Civilian Dependence on Military Civil governments increasingly relied on the military for: Security policy formulation Law and order situations Crisis management (e.g., terrorism incidents) This dependency reduced civilian institutional autonomy. 5. Impact on Foreign Policy Military played a dominant role in shaping Pakistan’s relations with: United States (coalition support funds, drone cooperation debates) Afghanistan (border security and Taliban policy) India (Kashmir and security posture) Civilian leadership often had limited influence in key strategic negotiations. 6. Judicial and Political Engineering Concerns During this era, allegations increased regarding military influence in political engineering . Instances were reported where intelligence agencies were accused of influencing electoral outcomes or political alignments. This raised concerns about democratic consolidation. 7. Security vs Democracy Balance While military actions helped reduce terrorism (especially after 2014), they also expanded the military’s institutional footprint in governance. Civilian governments struggled to assert supremacy in constitutional terms. Implications Positive Implications Improved internal security situation after major military operations. Reduction in terrorist incidents in many regions. Strengthening of counter-terrorism infrastructure. Greater coordination between civil and military institutions in emergencies. Negative Implications Weakening of democratic institutions and civilian supremacy. Over-reliance on military for governance and security. Blurred boundaries between civilian and military roles. Persistent imbalance in civil–military relations. Reduced transparency in national security decisions. Critical Analysis The War on Terror created a security-dominant governance model in Pakistan, where military institutions became the primary actors in both internal and external security affairs. While this improved short-term stability, it also weakened democratic consolidation and institutional balance. The challenge remains to restore a stable civil–military equilibrium where civilian institutions lead policymaking while the military supports within constitutional limits. Conclusion The War on Terror fundamentally reshaped civil–military relations in Pakistan by expanding the military’s role in governance, security, and foreign policy. Although it enhanced national security capabilities, it also created long-term challenges for democracy, institutional balance, and civilian supremacy.
