Abstract
This paper evaluates validity of the five modes of military intervention offered by
S.E. Finer in politics in the perspective of military coup (1999) in Pakistan. As
stated by Finer, professionalization of officer corps, rise of the nation-state and
nationalism, popular sovereignty, rise of an insurrectionary military and creation
of new independent states contribute to the military‟s choice to oust the civilian
government and intercede in the affairs of country. Findings of this paper endorse
that though not all of the Finer‟s modes are essentially fully applicable to the
Pakistan, nonetheless his overall framework contributes for major drivers of the
October 12, 1999 military coup.
