PSYCHODYNAMICS IN TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS AND POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION IN PAKISTAN: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

The multifaceted influence of technology on Pakistani politics necessitates thoughtful consideration of its advantages and drawbacks. Effective integration of technology hinges upon striking a balance between upholding liberal ideals and embracing innovative solutions. This study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the evolving role of technology in shaping Pakistan's political landscape and underscores the importance of informed policymaking to harness its potential while mitigating its pitfalls. This research investigates the intricate relationship between technology and Pakistan's political culture, revealing positive and negative outcomes. The proliferation of social media, electronic interaction platforms, and diverse news outlets has fundamentally altered political dynamics, granting citizens unprecedented access to information and catalyzing digital activism. While these advancements have enhanced information dissemination, facilitated campaigning efforts, and increased transparency, they have also introduced challenges such as the dissemination of misinformation, digital inequality, digital gap and privacy concerns. The paper suggests that the integration of technology in governance, exemplified by initiatives such as the Election Commission of Pakistan's real-time broadcasting of election outcomes and lawmakers' participation in online parliamentary sessions, aims to bolster accountability and constitutional continuity. Furthermore, experiments with electronic voting machines and block chain technology in specific regions signify endeavors to refine voting processes and enhance economic transparency.
