Law, state and inequality in Pakistanexplaining the rise of the judiciary /[electronic resource] :by Muhammad Azeem. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2017. - xviii, 278 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - International law and the global south, perspectives from the rest of the world,2510-1420. - International law and the global south..

Part One: Law under modernization: foundational discourse -- Chapter 1 -Critique of institutionalist-functionalist focus of the good governance paradigm -- Chapter 2 - Law under capitalist modernization (1947-1960's) -- Chapter 3 - Law under socialist modernization (1970's-1980's) -- Part Two: Law under neo-liberal development: Rights for democratic deficit -- Chapter 4- The rise of the judiciary in a 'weakening state' (1990's) -- Chapter 5 - Law under 'good governance' (2000's) -- Chapter 6 - Conclusion and theoretical implications.

Through a detailed historical and empirical account of post-independence years, this book offers a new assessment of the role of the judiciary in Pakistani politics. Instead of seeing the judiciary as helpless or struggling against an authoritarian state, it argues that the judiciary has been a crucial link in the creation of state and political inequality in Pakistan. This rubs against the central role given to the judiciary in developing countries to fix the 'corrupt politicians and stubborn bureaucracies' in the World Bank's 'Good Governance' paradigm and rule of law initiatives. It also challenges the contemporary legal and judicial discourse that extols the virtues of Public Interest Litigation. While the book's core analysis is a critique of the contemporary liberal legal project, it also adds to the critical tradition of social theory by linking political economy to a social theory of law. The theoretical aspect of the study is applicable to any developing society whose judiciary is going through foreign-sponsored 'rule of law' judicial reforms.
