Business Standard
Pakistan was founded, somewhat abruptly and through political fiat, only in 1947. Hence, it began with neither an effective political organization nor clearly defined sym-bols of national unity. Despite these weak foundations, Pakistan has forged a remarka-ble record of economic growth and indus-trialization coupled with an effective and high profilé foreign policy. Yet, the future looks bleak unless the country is able to tackle the numerous problems which beset it, including deep-rooted structural imbalances, ethnic divisions, wasteful military expenditure and a rapidly growing population.
The eleven originál essays comprising this volume address thesecritical issues from the thoughtful perspective of several disciplines.
In their Introduction, the editors offer a con-troversial interpretation of the paradox of Kashmir, drawing upon economic theory, philosophy and history. The five essays comprising Part I diseuss the historical origins of Pakistan, its external and internál politics, and the role of the administration. This sets the stage for the economic discussion con-tained in the next secáion which deals with recent macroeconomic policy and perfor-mance, the agricultural and industrial sectors, humán resources, education, and in-ternational trade.
Interdisciplinary in nature and presenting diverse points of view, this volume provides an in-depth and provocative discussion of the political economy of contemporary Pakistan and outlines an agenda for the decades ahead. It is intended to stimulate a debate on long-.term issues of political and economic significance for Pakistan and will command the attention of economists, political scien-tists, sociologists, planners and adminis-trators.
