Article Abstract:

PakistanEs parliamentary elections to be held in 2007 are unlikely to transform the country into a democracy or return it to a civilian rule because of traditional forces that are highly resistant to change and the army, which sees itself as the country's only viable institution and its deep-rooted suspicion of civilian political processes. Only when the army's thinking changes or its hold becomes weaker can Pakistan be expected to make a transition to democratic rule.
