General Musharraf, President Musharraf: Context and Implications of Elon’s Convocation – Oct. 7

Pervez Musharraf’s record as chief of army staff, president (and both, for a time) of Pakistan is a complex one. Some of his actions provided a foundation for civil society and a separation of political powers in Pakistan, while at other times he seemed determined to undermine such essential institutions of democracy.

Professor Samuel A. Butler invites the community to a conversation concerning Musharraf’s legacy and the implications of his invitation to the Fall Convocation, with professors Jason Kirk and Amy Allocco, students Catherine Serex and Andrew Black.
