Linked by questions of race, the civil and military authorities of Australia, the United States, China, the Netherlands and the Philippines were stung into action. Lachlan Strahan weaves the facts of these crimes into a story of compelling interest.

The Pakistan general elections of 2018 marked the second successful transfer of power from one elected civilian government to another. This was only the second time in the country's history that a civilian government had completed its full five-year term in office. The contributors analyze the role of the military, bureaucracy, and judiciary in politics, but the major contribution of the volume is to refresh our understanding of how Pakistan's political parties are functioning and surviving in the country's improving though fragile democracy. Pakistan's parties are myriad and each represents a distinct interest from left, right, and/or populist to religion, region, ethnicity, reform, or some combination thereof. Studying their internal workings, motivations, mechanisms for influencing both state and society, and capacity to make policy provides an excellent opportunity to shed light on exactly how Pakistan's developing democracy functions. This book is one of a kind and will be the go-to reference for anyone interested in learning about politics in Pakistan"--Provided by publisher.South Asia in world affairs series.Political partiesPakistanHistory21st centuryPolitical partiesfast(OCoLC)fst01069410Politics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst01919741PakistanPolitics and government21st centuryPakistanfastPolitical partiesHistoryPolitical parties.Politics and government.324.25491Mufti MariamShafqat SaharSiddiqui NilouferMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQDLCBOOK9910794071103321Pakistan's political parties3797693UNINA
