Tactical Maneuvers: How Political Parties Advance Their Interests - A Global Perspective with Focus on Pakistan
Abstract
The diverse tactical maneuvers employed by political parties to advance their interests, offering a global perspective with a specific focus on Pakistan. The study analyzes how parties navigate complex political landscapes through strategies such as patronage networks, identity politics, and media management. By comparing tactics used in various democratic systems worldwide and then delving into the unique context of Pakistan, the research highlights both universal trends and country-specific adaptations. The article explores the implications of these tactics for democratic processes, governance effectiveness, and long-term political stability. Through a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative case studies, the research reveals how political parties balance short-term electoral gains with long-term institutional development. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of party behavior in emerging democracies and offer insights into the challenges of democratic consolidation in diverse societies. The study concludes by discussing potential pathways for fostering more inclusive and accountable political systems, both in Pakistan and in comparable political environments globally.
