Building Bridges and Shaping Policies: A Comparative Study of Organizational Structures and Policy Implementation in the Pakistan People's Party and Liberal Party of Canada (1971-1978)

Abstract

This research examines the organizational structures and policy implementation approaches of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) during the period of 1971-1978. By applying Institutional Theory, the study explores how institutional factors shape organizational behavior, influence party dynamics, and impact policy implementation. The research highlights the importance of considering both formal and informal rules, norms, and structures in understanding organizational structures and their implications for policy implementation outcomes. Through a comparative analysis, the study identifies similarities and differences between the PPP and LPC, considering their organizational structures, policy implementation approaches, hierarchical divide, and decision-making processes. The findings emphasize the significance of institutional contexts, historical landscapes, and leadership dynamics in shaping party behavior and policy outcomes. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of organizational structures, policy implementation, and the interplay between institutions and party behavior.
