Books for Paper I

Western Thought: Judd Harmon's Book titled Political Thought is very
good book. Besides, Mazhar-ul-Haq is a standard book.

Islamic Thought:

Rosenthal's Political Thought in Medieval Islam
published by Cambridge University Press is the basic book. For
further reading: Iqbal's Reconstruction of Islamic Thought; one book
titled Muslim Thought (whose author's name I don't remember), in Urdu
a good quality book in six volumes is 'Tarikh-e-Dawat-wa-Azeemat'
by Maulana Abu-ul-Hassan Nadvi.

For Paper II,

For Comparative Constitutions: 'The Fundamental Law of Pakistan' by
A.K. Brohi; World Constitions by Kelley; World Constitutions by
Mazhar-ul-Haq; World Constitutions by V.D. Mahajan;
Law of Constitution by Dicey.

remedies; Hamid Khan's Constitutional History published by Oxford

The books that i thought best were as follows:

1) for political philosohy... Judd Harmond (history of political thought)

2) Mazhar-ul-Haq (political science)... mind u this is just a BASIC BA text, and once u are done with this u have to build on things.

Now, my way of studying was this... since i had done my BA in political science too, i was well acquainted with Mazhar-ul-Haq, and the other, Mohammad Sarwar i think.. anyways, once u thoroughly go though those books, start building on the topics with citation of REAL LIFE political examples.. eg, if in the political system of the US there has been a problem in the election of president, you must cite an example, like that of the recent eletion of President Bush, who won the vote, but lost the popular vote.

I think, u have to have a GOOD understanding of political structures, and then build on them with examples and have your own opinion about things.

[AwesomeMasuud]

Those are some books, lol!

What I've interpreted out of the above posts and the views of the CSPs, you don't need to have any more books for Constitutional Law other than the one you're preparing Political Science Paper II from!
Hope I'm correct with my analysis.

Guidance needed for sure! =)
