Abstract
This paper is an attempt to analyze the steps and reforms taken
by General Pervez Musharraf towards civilianization from 1999
to 2005. The military’s involvement in political system of
Pakistan began from mid 1950’s and always continued verily
with respect to nature and scope at various occasions. Whenever
it made direct intervention, its disengagement remained slow
and gradual, adopting a power sharing model instead of
transferring power to the civilian elite. This pattern of
civilianization was adopted in every military regime including
the period of General Pervez Musharraf, however, making
minor changes, suitable to the regime. In his early days,
Musharraf demonstrated intention for economic revival,
accountability, devolution of power and democratic
consolidation as his foremost goals by establishing new
institutions and holding of free and fair elections to form
apparently civilian government.
