Key Policy Imperatives: Agenda before the Nation
The first half of 2013 – after completion of the PPP-led government’s tenure and subsequent general elections on May 11 – has witnessed the first ever transition in Pakistan’s history from one democratically elected government to another and thus a reshaping of the political dispensation in the country, at federal and provincial levels.
It is about time when a comprehensive academic discourse can be initiated as to what should be the course of action for the new leadership in particular and the nation as a while in general, on various major issues confronting the country, coming up with solid, viable policy proposals.
IPS started, since the beginning of this year, presenting a series of brief but comprehensive articles on key issues presenting a set of priories, actionable points and viable solutions for the new managers of the country in various fields. The articles include:
