THEORY OF CONFLICT: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF PAKISTAN

Abstract

It has been a hot bed of controversy that what political system is the best suited to Pakistan. The politicians and the political analyst tried their best to untie the entwined skein of this dialectic issue of a suitable system. The present article is an attempt in this regard. The Article can easily be segregated into two parts viz-a-viz., the part-1 and the part-2. The part -1 dilates upon the history of the term Conflict and its various dimensions by enumerating the factors of creation of a conflict. This part also highlights various Conflicts that changes the course of history. It also dwells upon the origin of the term Theory and also enumerates various types of theories and how an idea becomes a theory; what are the evolutionary stages of a theory. Once that theoretical framework passes, the Article then focuses upon the political system of Pakistan and the nature of conflict that has bedraggled this political system of Pakistan. It helps in distinguishing various types of political conflicts trends and nature of conflicts. It spells the factors that caused creation of conflicts and the above all, it also highlights the latest type and dimension of conflict i.e., the Constitutional Conflict under the present hybrid regime. The Article tries to envisage the entire gamut of concept of conflict from a different angle and tried to put it across to the readers for a comprehension with historical backdrop.
