Democratic Consolidation in Pakistan: Issues, Challenges and Way Forward

 

Why democracy in Pakistan has failed to consolidate? Are people losing trust on democracy? Is military interference in politics a key factor for weak democracy? Have political parties failed to strengthen democracy? Why political parties failed in evolving a sustainable political culture within their party structures and what are implications of this failure?

If these questions bother you, this event is for you.
