Description:
This is a book of essays, dedicated to Omar
Asghar Khan, based on research conducted
between 1999-2002 while the author seas at the
Sustainable Development Policy Institute. Given that
a military government had assumed power during
this period, it was inevitable that many of the public
policy issues addressed are key reforms discussed and
instituted by this government.
The first section is about land reform that one can
refer to as "the mother of all reforms' in the country.
This represents a recurring and connecting theme of
this book. The second section is on devolution that
was the first, most fundamental, and most talked
about reform of the military government. Like land
reform, but not at the same level, devolution can
interface with all other reforms, particularly the key
social sector reforms such as that pertaining to
education. The author explains how this is the case
while the third section is devoted entirely to
education.

One important way of making a success of rural
basic education, the most lagging building block for
education improvement in Pakistan, is to involve
parents and communities. This participatory model
has a broader application to rural development as
explained in the context of activating social capital in
section four.
Activating and formalizing social capital is also
central to the concept of sustainable developmcnt as
explained in section five. Sustainable development
and the environment have an interface with trade and
this is addressed in section six. Trade and other
liberalizations that have part been part of the
structural adjustment reform policies Pakistan has
undergone, both before and during the military
government tenure, and this is the subject of section
seven. Finally, some other important policy issues
including Islamic finance, NGO registration, child
labor, and peace are discussed in section eight.
