Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s period is very important from the point of view of
economic and foreign policy formulation process as Pakistan had to redefine some
principles and to identify new methods to deal with the issues. Pakistan was
truncated after the loss of East Pakistan in 1971 and needed new and better
policies. This paper is an attempt to study the role of the Institution of Cabinet in
designing economic and foreign policy in new circumstances. It also studies how
power was shared by the Prime Minister and his Cabinet while formulating
Pakistan’s economic and foreign policy. It also looks into the matter that the
Cabinet of Z. A. Bhutto which was powerful to deal with the economic affairs was
not given leverage in dealing with the foreign policy matters. Economic Ministries
including Finance, Economic Affairs, Industries, Commerce and Trade were
dominated by the leftist Ministers till 1974 and by the rightist in later years. At the
same time, Prime Minister decided some crucial foreign policy matters especially
related to India, sometimes, without prior involvement of the Cabinet in deciding
post-war issues. The paper has been divided into two parts: Part I deals with the
Cabinet’s contribution in economic policy arena and the Part II deals with the role
of the Cabinet in foreign policy formulation process.
This research paper has been mostly produced on
Naumana Kiran. (2015) Z. A. Bhutto’s Cabinet: A Study of Its Role in Formulation of Economic and Foreign Policy, 1971-1977, Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan, Volume 52, Issue 2.
