Governance Crisis In Pakistan: Genesis And Solutions
Good governance performs an inevitable role in the smooth functioning of a state by ameliorating the livelihood standards of its citizens. Unfortunately, since its inception, governance has been a persistent challenge for Pakistan raising the question of whether the nation is inherently ungovernable. The military's intervention in the democratic process, incompetent political leadership, institutional decay, economic deprivation, corruption, lack of accountability, and absence of rule of law have manifested the trajectory of the democratic country as a crisis-ridden state incapable of good governance. This research paper involves both qualitative and quantitative research methods and discloses the perplexities of the governance crisis, underlying the historical, socioeconomic and political causes while illuminating the solution by offering stability and an efficiency-oriented approach to the problem.
