Political Stability
Citation: "Review of Political Instability"
Summary:
Political instability has become a huge and serious problem for both developing and underdeveloped countries. Pakistan is also in one of these countries which is facing the problem of political instability. The instability of government, inefficiency of political parties and a weak political culture make Pakistan a politically instable state. Political stability is important for keeping the society integrated, maintaining legitimacy, economic development and supremacy of law in a state. In political stable condition people have power they use their powers for the development of nation, and in politically instable condition people feel powerless, lose their trust on government and they prefer their own interest in front of state and then the society leads to split.

Many underdeveloped nations of Asia and Africa including Pakistan have been confused as how to overcome the problems of national integration, economic development, political participation which have been grown simultaneously in these states.

    From the above paragraphs, the best factors behind should be leadership, political stability and state capacity. Note that any one of them alone is not enough for the economic boom. They are actually interdependent. Political stability is a prerequisite for state capacity. With a high degree of political stability, enforcement of policies are not obstructed by political chaos, and thus state capacity increases. With high degrees of political stability and state capacity, leaders with good aims can put economic plans into practice. Political stability and state capacity alone would not do good to economy if leaders are corrupt and never care about livelihood of people while leadership alone would not guarantee that policies of good aims can…

    A stable government is seen as a peaceful, law-abiding society where decision-making and politico-societal change are the result of institutionalised and eufunctional procedures and not the outcome of anomic processes which resolve issues through conflict and aggression (Hurwitz, 1993). Political stability comprises the firmness of the government and society, the effectiveness of international diplomatic relationships, the reliability and integrity of the legal system and of the business infrastructure, the efficiency of government bureaucracy and the appropriateness and effectiveness of the government’s economic policies. Paldam (1998) argues political stability should include four dimensions: stable government; stable political system; internal law and order; external stability. Best (2012) also considers there are four axiomatic dimensions of political performance: durability, civil order, legitimacy and decisional efficacy.…

    Pakistan emerged as a result of long and arduous freedom movement. After independence, there had been lack of agreement on what system of government the country should adopt.

This irresolution contributed a lot to various crises like military coups, strife among ethnic groups, human rights violation and underdevelopment. In context of Pakistan, democracy seems to be more appropriate form of government. Although, some say that Pakistan’s literacy level might not support democracy,however it serves as a better governance system because it safeguards human rights, facilitates economic growth and equality, and respects cultural and ethnic diversity.…
