Résumé:The article examines the policy environment and implementation of President Zia's Islamic legal reforms in Pakistan during the past decade. It argues that such legal reforms have had only a minor impact on Pakistan's legal system either in regard to local structures, procedures or in regard to criminal law. The article further argues that the policy environment facing Pakistani decision-makers helps to explain the slow pace of implementation. (DÜI-Sen)
