Pakistan civil-military relations

The November election in the disputed territory will be closely watched in Pakistan and internationally.

The “minus one” narrative is gaining traction, but it would be difficult to replace Khan as prime minister.

The PTI government's poor performance has apparently alienated even Pakistan's kingmakers: the military.

When Pakistan's opposition joined forces with the government to extend General Bajwa's term as army chief, it was a blow to pro-democracy activists.

Even if the verdict against Musharraf is never carried out, formally labeling the former general a traitor could undo 60 years of unquestioned military supremacy.

The Azadi March has brought the religious right and secular left together on a one-point agenda of civilian supremacy.

The government (and military) may have miscalculated in their attempt to take down a popular judge.

Khan has a golden chance to right ties with India, Afghanistan, and the U.S. – if the establishment will let him.

What will Pakistan’s foreign policy look like under new Prime Minister Imran Khan?

U.S. aid to Pakistan's military has helped keep civilian governments in the country weak.

Ironically, Khan's biggest test will come not from the opposition, but from the groups that supported him.
