This book maps the evolution of the relationship between the judiciary and the military in Pakistan, explaining why Pakistan’s high courts shifted from loyal deference to the military to open competition and confrontation with military and civilian institutions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYasser Kureshi demonstrates that a shift in the audiences shaping judicial preferences explains the emergence of the judiciary as an assertive power centre. As the judiciary gradually embraced less deferential institutional preferences, it sought to play a more expansive and authoritative political role.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing this audience-based approach, Kureshi roots the judiciary in its political, social and institutional context, and develops a generalisable framework that can explain variation and change in judicial-military relations around the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"description-heading\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"about-author-text\"\u003eYasser Kureshi is the John and Daria Barry Postdoctoral Fellow in Constitutional Theory and Law at the University of Oxford.
