Figure 10. Structure of the Government, 1994
Source: Based on information from Pakistan, Ministry of Justice and
Parliamentary Affairs, The Constitution of the Islamic Republic
of Pakistan (as Modified up to 19th March 1985), Islamabad,
1985; and Craig Baxter et al., Government and Politics in South
Asia, Boulder, Colorado, 1993, 210.
Pakistan's independence was won through a democratic
and
constitutional struggle. Although the country's record
with
parliamentary democracy has been mixed, Pakistan, after
lapses,
has returned to this form of government. The constitution
of the
Islamic Republic of Pakistan adopted in 1985 provides for
a
federal parliamentary system with a president as head of
state
and a popularly elected prime minister as head of
government.
Data as of April 1994
