| Summary |
This report reflects the views expressed during a conference entitled "Who Controls Pakistan's Security Forces?" hosted by the U.S. Institute of Peace's Security Sector Governance Center on April 19, 2011. Speakers at the event included the author, Professor Hassan Abbas of Columbia University, and Moeed Yusuf of the U.S. Institute of Peace. The report discusses the complex political landscape in which Pakistan's civilian and military authorities operate, often vying for power and supremacy; identifies the challenges facing Pakistan's civilian government in the face of the military's expanding role; and suggests a realignment of roles, increased expertise for civilian officials in security matters, and better civilian-military coordination. |
