Description

Pakistani society finds itself in a morass because of the mad scramble for power in almost all sectors. This has resulted in extreme structural distortions. The attainment of power is both a means of domination and a recourse to survival. Unequal power relations are historically entrenched and their perpetuation is deepening the crisis. In this text, two experts conduct a dialogue between eminent scholars and social activists, from which emerges the issues underpinning the re-negotiation of power in Pakistan.
