Few would oppose a devolution reform that truly empowers the grassroots level and improves service delivery for the poor. This book demonstrates that the key to such devolution in rural Pakistanis is diffusing power via land reforms so that the poor are empowered and capable of ensuring that the service delivery is not hijacked and actually serves them.

The term structural adjustment has been associated with rioting as angry and hungry masses protest food price increases due to subsidy cuts or to other structural adjustment conditions prescribed by the IMF and the World Bank. Structural adjustment and the neo-liberal paradigm that underlies it is now the dominant economics paradigm practiced by developing countries. The main purpose of the book is to rely on evidence and to go beyond rhetoric, ideology and anecdotes in assessing structural adjustment in Pakistan and the developing world more generally to examine how reform can be combined with pragmatism and social justice.

Delicious and dangerous, this collection of fairy tales is a glorious tribute to women with 'do what thou wilt' bravado - those who dare to wear the breeches. They shed their female garb (and modesty) and don the male's role to save king, country, kin, and their own lives or for revenge, love, power and a good time. Shahrukh Husain's tales from around the world - riddles, battle triumphs, bawdy and moving stories - prove that no heroine, or hero, is as exciting and daring as the irresitible cross-dresser of fairy tales.

This book explores the history of economic development thought, with an emphasis on alternative approaches in macro development economics. Given that the pioneers of development economics in the 1940s and 1950s drew inspiration from classical political economists, this book opens with a review of key classical scholars who wrote about the progress of the wealth of nations. In reviewing the thinking of the pioneers and those that followed, both their theories of development and underdevelopment are discussed. Overall, the book charts the evolution of development economic thought from the early developmentalists and structuralists, through to the neo-Marxist approach and radical development theory, the neo-liberal counter revolution, and the debate between new developmentalists and neo-liberal scholars. It ends with an assessment of the state of the field today. This book will be of interest to all scholars and students interested in the evolution of development economics.

This book suggests ways to make Pakistan's public sector rural primary schooling more effective. The broader objective is a comparative institutional analysis of government, private and NGO schools. The study identifies processes pushing for improvements in the NGO and private sectors and those resulting in obvious failure in the government sectors. The focus is on operational lessons derived from NGO and private sector delivery to make public sector delivery more effective.
