Pakistan’s Administrative System: A Transformation through Religious Paradigm and its impact on societal dynamics that has led towards radicalization

Abstract

The governance of Pakistan has gone through paradoxes in last five decades which have slanted the normal functioning of an existing government mainly because of treacherous intentions involved. Governance is answerable for administrating the country’s social and economic resources. This administration in turn requires a system of accountability and adequate reliable information for placement of revenues of country efficiently. Although the 18th amendment has provided a strong foundation for deepening of administration affairs at local level, the policy has not been fully implemented. This research paper aims to strengthen devolution at local level for essential administrative delivery functions closest to the citizens which would ultimately help to reassert better governing system. In this milieu, this research has focused on analyzing the functions of two main sectors of health and education in the post 18^th amendment implementation phase. Another important aspect is the evolving role of religion and sectarian issue which has created hindrances for the effective policy implementation. The paper is descriptive in nature and has attempted to examine independent variable of Pakistan’s administration is being compared with dependent variable of government through an inundated governance. The paper will focus on the research question of how a Pakistan’s administration will fully decentralized to manage the affairs of country at closest possible citizenship level as there is a need for government to govern the “council of common interests for stronger inter-provincial coordination platform” for forging national consensus which can accelerate the process of development of Pakistan.
