Summary/Abstract |
The legal status of Gilgit-Baltistan, which is part of Jammu and Kashmir that is under Pakistani occupation, has remained undefined in successive Pakistani constitutions. Pakistan governs the region with ad hoc presidential ordinances, resulting in transitory political arrangements. It was Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto who first introduced the so-called Northern Areas Governance Order of 1994, after shelving the draconian and inhumane Frontier Crimes Regulation, with which Pakistan ruled the region like a colony. With some amendments, the same ordinance was later renamed the Legal Framework Order by President Musharraf in 2007 and more recently as the Gilgit-Baltistan Empowerment and Self-Governance Order by the Zardari regime. The term 'self-governance' in the current ordinance is coined as a strategic move to defuse pressure of rights organisations. The order establishes the Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly and the Gilgit-Baltistan Council. It also creates the post of chief minister; and a governor, who will represent the president of Pakistan and function as the de facto rulers of Gilgit-Baltistan.

Summary/Abstract |
The march is over. Long live the march. People asserted their power, recalcitrant rulers bowed their heads, the judiciary became independent. The lion is back in his den in Lahore and the arrow continues to quiver on the target it landed on last February. Everyone has rediscovered the meaning of reconciliation and respect. Indeed, all is now well in the state of Pakistan. Or is it? Conflicts continue to simmer beneath the surface and boundaries between different political players are still being contested. Be it the military and the government, the judiciary and the executive or the Pakistan Peoples Party(PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN), the country's current is certainly not ever.

Summary/Abstract |
Following a 1999 coup, Pakistan's General Pervez Musharraf ruled by decree with the support of the military. He held a presidential referendum and got his party elected. He amended the constitution to legitimize his military rule. His involvement in the war on terrorism led to the rise of religious extremism, and he persuaded the United States to propose a power-sharing plan. In 2007, Musharraf got himself re-elected by the outgoing parliament, an election subsequently challenged in court. In November, he declared a state of emergency and dismissed Supreme Court justices whom he feared would rule against him. Under external pressure, he ended the emergency after he had secured the presidency and resigned from the military. In 2008, opposition parties won the parliamentary elections and formed a coalition government. They have not yet reinstated the dismissed judges. They forced Musharraf to resign, but more steps are needed to complete the transition to a true democracy.

Summary/Abstract |
Following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in December 2007 and national elections in February 2008, Pakistan struggled to distance itself from the discredited military regime of President (General) Pervez Musharraf. Competition between the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), once led by Benazir Bhutto and subsequently by her widower Asif Ali Zardari, and the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) led by Nawaz Sharif, however, threatened to thwart the cause of political stability in Pakistan.

Summary/Abstract |
That Asif Ali Zardari would bag the presidency, and with such an overwhelming majority, was a remote possibility back in October 2007, at the time when Benazir Bhutto made her comeback to Pakistan. With a turn of political fortune, a windfall has come Pakistan People's Party's (PPP's) way, occupying as it does two of the three centres of power (troika) in Pakistan. The third member of the 'troika', the army chief, backed in any case the candidature of Zardari, and restoration of democracy which would in turn help restore the credibility of the army.
