Analysis:
Griff White's 2007 essay, "Bhutto's Son Chosen as Eventual Party Chief", draws attention towards the subsistence of the People's Political Party in Pakistan, after the death of the prime minister, Benazir Bhutto. White describes the public display of Pakistan's legitimate successor of the prime ministry, on Sunday Dec 30. in Karachi, Pakistan. Benazir Bhutto's 19-year-old son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, a current student of Oxford University, was appointed and anointed as the rightful recipient of the Pakistani chancellorship. Although, he is temporarily unprepared to embrace the corresponding obligations of prime ministership, his father, Asif Ali Zardari, was provisionally given permission to suitably substitute his son's leadership position. White stresses on the expected tensions that might seemingly arise because of Zardari's illegitimate possession of power. Zardari doesn't belong to the Bhutto dynastic clan, but is only affiliated to Benazir Bhutto through marriage. Traditionally, only born members of the clan could legally precede the nation. But White, conciliatively asserts the acceptance of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, by the PPP and his influence in prolonging the endurance of democracy in Pakistan.
Tone: revealing and instructive
Application Question: How does belonging to a dynasty, enable prejudgment in terms of efficient governing? Why is it so common?
Clarification Question: Why does marriage have no effect in the inclusion of Zardari to the Bhutto clan? Is there a different perspective on marriage, distant from union, materially?
