• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Why has Pakistan experienced an extended economic slowdown since 1990? Why has it suffered through volatile and inequitable growth over the last 25 years? In his new book, Governing the Ungovernable, Ishrat Husain, a distinguished Pakistani economist, Wilson Center global fellow, and former Wilson Center public policy fellow, argues that the answer lies in the decay of institutions of governance. In this book, he proposes a selective and incremental approach to reforming key public institutions in Pakistan in order to make them perform better.
