Author(s) : Muhammad Imran

Abstract:

Particularly in developing and poor countries, political instability has grown to be a severe and dangerous issue. It is causing serious issues and impeding these nations' progress. This article's main concern is Pakistan's lack of political stability in light of its ongoing identity and legitimacy crises. Maintaining social cohesion and governmental legitimacy both depend heavily on political stability. It is a requirement for a state's economic growth, social integration, and legal supremacy. The processes of building a nation and a state are directly impacted by the political system's stability. For both of them to develop and prosper, stable political regimes are necessary. Without a strong and well-organized political system, the development of a country and a state is impossible, and politics devolves into a tug-of-war between competing interest groups. In conclusion, the article aims to investigate the potential causes and consequences of political instability in Pakistan.
