Governance and Recurrent Military Takeover Prospects: A Case Study of Pakistan
Abstract:	Civil-military relations in developing countries are at the heart of a central concern of democracy. In Pakistan, the same has not only been turbulent throughout our history; it has also been an uneasy relationship with frequent military interventions. However, in Pakistan military has come to identify itself with the state rather than just one of the key components of a constitutional state. The Agency Theory, based on Principal-Agent relation, has been applied by many to explain the 1999 Musharraf takeover in Pakistan. The intervention is justified on many grounds. But what is more interesting is the fact it is welcomed in a country where people at large long for democracy and cherish democratic ideals. ...Read More - View Fulltext

Integration of the Self: A Jungian Study of Mystical Experiences in Herman Hesse's Siddhartha
Abstract:	This paper aims at juxtaposing the Buddhist notion of enlightenment with the Jungian concept of individuation. It attempts to explore how the dissolving of ego and approaching the subliminal consciousness in the path of self-realization stand parallel to Jung's idea of dismantling one's persona and connecting with the self, respectively. Siddhartha's journey towards enlightenment offers a psychological reading through which an interplay between ego-consciousness and the collective unconscious could be studied. Archetypal method of analysis is applied to Herman Hesse's novel Siddhartha to analyze the protagonist's psychological journey with regard to different archetypes of individuation. The study draws on Carl Gustav Jung's theory of individuation which is employed as a theoreti ...Read More - View Fulltext
