Mahmood (political science, International Islamic U., Islamabad) believes that Pakistan's current crisis of governance stems from the mistakes of previous regimes. Most recently he cites the "arrogance and eccentric personality" of Benazir Bhutto, arguing that Bhutto destroyed the "efficient and orderly working of the government at all levels." Now it is up to the Musharraf regime to bring about civil reforms to reestablish an effective and efficient public administration. The author critiques past reforms, examines the issues and challenges facing the current administration, and offers recommendations for the direction that new reform of the country's civil service might take.
