In this episode, Nitin Pai, Pranay Kotasthane, and Yazad Jal discuss the meta-structure of political Pakistan. The central argument is that Pakistan is not one geopolitical entity, but two: the putative state (represented currently by a civilian government), and the military—jihadi complex (MJC) that has captured the commanding heights of power. In this episode, they explain what the MJC comprises of, the forces of cohesion & repulsion that affect the dynamics of this complex, and finally the operational processes deployed by the MJC to keep itself afloat.
