The Military and Denied Development in the Pakistani Punjab : An Eroding Social Consensus Hardback
by Shahrukh Rafi Khan, Aasim Sajjad Akhtar
Part of the Anthem Frontiers of Global Political Economy and Development series
Hardback
Description
This book focuses on the retrogressive agrarian interventions by the Pakistani military in rural Punjab and explores the social resentment and resistance it triggered, potentially undermining the consensus on a security state in Pakistan.
Set against the overbearing and socially unjust role of the military in Pakistan’s economy, this book documents a breakdown in the accepted function of the military beyond its constitutionally mandated role of defence.
Accompanying earlier work on military involvement in industry, commerce, finance and real estate, the authors’ research contributes to a wider understanding of military intervention, revealing its hand in various sectors of the economy and, consequently, its gains in power and economic autonomy.
