Abstract

The coup of October 1958 derailed the process of parliamentary democracy and initiated a new era of dictatorship in Pakistan. The eleven years of General AyËb Khan regime witnessed a number of socio-political, administrative and economic problems. The roots of those problems were related to the power structure and deployment of power by the regime. The current paper is an attempt to analyze some of the very important issues like what was the nature and mechanism of power structure during Ayub regime? How the new structure deployed powers? And what were the impacts of deployment of power upon the people and society both in West and East Pakistan. The current paper discusses different political, administrative and economic policies of Ayub regime and the resultant impacts in form of regional imbalances, disparity and the socio-political movements in Pakistan. It is an attempt to prove that how dictatorial, autocratic and personalized power deployment may affect the social balance, central provincial relations and national harmony.
