Summary
In Chapter 9, I conclude the book by exploring some of the scholarly, policy, and normative implications of the research topic. I assess the implications of the book’s findings for democratization and democratic consolidation, political party development, and political violence in Pakistan and beyond. I explore limitations of my research and end with numerous policy implications that arise from my findings, in the process outlining several possible avenues for future research.
