 Making Federation Work
Federalism in Pakistan after the
18th Amendment
Edited by Asma Faiz
The book presents diverse perspectives from different disciplines
with coherence and an admirable focus on federalism. It adequately
explains why federalism needs to be re-examined and be a subject
of fresh scholarship. The book comprises of an impressive collection
of articles which address all dimensions of federalism and make a
good addition to literature on federalism. The 18th Amendment
2015 itself is a landmark event in the constitutional history of Pakistan.
356 pages This event has been analysed in the different chapters of the book
Hardback from different angles. Historical, political, economic, sociological,
978-0-19-940185-7 and environmental factors associated with this unique federal
216x138 mm experiment have been thoroughly analysed by a galaxy of learned
Rs 1325 scholars.

The Role of Taxation in Pakistan’s Revival

Jorge Martinez-Vazquez and Musharraf Rasool Cyan
The tax system of Pakistan continues to under-perform particularly
in its ability to raise adequate revenues. The bases of the most
important taxes, such as Personal and Corporate Income Tax and
the General Sales Tax (GST), continue to be narrow and the level
of tax evasion remains high. On the other hand, most of the
macroeconomic fiscal adjustment in recent years has been on the
expenditure side of the budget. Pakistan’s need for spending on
education, health, and capital infrastructure are likely to increase
2015 in the near future as governments pursue a strategy of sustained
728 pages economic growth. To reach the desired taxation level in Pakistan,
Paperback an in-depth policy reforms programme needs to be formulated by
978-0-19-940115-4 policymakers. This will require a detailed analysis of tax structures
216x138 mm and tax administration. This book attempts to provide the necessary
Rs 1500 analysis.

of the International Center for Public Policy, Andrew Young School, Georgia

Musharraf Rasool Cyan is Assistant Research Professor at the Andrew Young
School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University, USA.

 Governance in Pakistan
Hybridism, Political Instability, and Violence
Sagheer Ahmad Khan
This book suggests that Pakistan has been stuck in a
transition characterized by the simultaneous existence
of particularistic‑emotional societal features alongside
rational‑democratic values. The country’s governing elite, being
itself the product of existing social structures, possesses both
an authoritarian inclination as well as a belief in the legitimacy
of a rational-democratic order. The task of adjustment between
2015 irreconcilable features compels adoption of a framework of
252 pages decision-making which accounts only for the immediate changing
Hardback context. This ad hoc governance keeps the state oscillating
978-0-19-940184-0 between the poles of being an effective, resilient state or a failed
216x138 mm state. This book is a must-read for those wishing to understand the
Rs 895 governance perspective in Pakistan underlined by this paradigm.
Sagheer Ahmad Khan is Assistant Professor at the Department of Political
Science, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan.

Pakistan: Beyond the ‘Crisis State’

Edited by Maleeha Lodhi
This book provides an analysis of Pakistan’s political, economic,
social, foreign policy, and governance challenges. It brings together
an extraordinary array of leading experts, including Ahmed Rashid,
Ayesha Jalal, and Zahid Hussain, and practitioners, such as the
book’s editor, Maleeha Lodhi, Akbar Ahmed, and Munir Akram.
Together they debate Pakistan’s strengths and weaknesses and
offer ways out of its current predicament. The book also discusses
the complex interplay between domestic developments and
2011 external factors including great power interests that are so central
417 pages to the Pakistan story and explain the vicissitudes in its fortunes.
Paperback Lodhi and her contributors contend that Pakistan and its people
978-0-19-906438-0 have the capacity to transform their country into a stable, modern
216x138 mm Muslim state, but bold reforms will be needed to bring about this
Rs 495 outcome.
Maleeha Lodhi has twice served as Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United
States as well as to the United Kingdom.

 With the Quaid-i-Azam during his Last
Days
Lt. Colonel Ilahi Bakhsh
This is a first-hand account of the last days of the founder of
Pakistan, the Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, written by
Lieutenant Colonel Ilahi Bakhsh, a doctor of medicine, who was
attending to Jinnah during his last illness. The narrative includes
the author’s conversations with Jinnah, together with an account of
the author’s diagnosis and treatment. This monograph is extremely
valuable as it sheds light on the last two months of Jinnah’s life
2011 while he struggled with his illness and finally lost. The author was
88 pages one of the very few persons who were in personal contact with the
Hardback Quaid at this time. This account is based on the author’s entries in
978-0-19-547710-8 his personal diary. The book also sheds light on some traits of the
216x138 mm Quaid, his demeanour, likes and dislikes, thus providing a glimpse
Rs 425 into the personality of this great man.
Lt. Col. Dr Ilahi Bakhsh was a medical visionary and a revered physician who
was the first Muslim to be appointed Principal of King Edward Medical College
in Lahore.

Escape from Oblivion

The Story of a Pakistani Prisoner of War in
India
Ikram Sehgal
Ikram Sehgal, a Pakistan Army officer, became a Prisoner of War
(POW) in India after being handed over to the Indian Army following
the 1971 rebellion in the then East Pakistan. A hundred or so POWs
remained undeclared by India throughout 1971. Kept in solitary
confinement, Sehgal escaped on the hundredth day of captivity,
becoming the first ever Pakistan Army officer to successfully escape
2012 from an Indian POW Camp. Compiled from the original notes jotted
350 pages down by the author during the period of his de-briefing on return
Hardback to Pakistan, this fascinating book provides an insider’s account of
978-0-19-906607-0 conditions under Indian custody. It is a gripping tale of individual
216x138 mm courage, of disparate friendships made in adverse circumstances,
Rs 695 and of the will to survive.
Ikram Sehgal is currently Chairman, Pathfinder Group Pakistan. He is a regular
contributor of articles in newspapers and also appears on current affairs
programmes on television in his capacity as a ‘defence and security analyst’.

 Urban Pakistan
Frames for Imagining and Reading Urbanism
Edited by Khalid W. Bajwa
Series Editor: Ali Khan
This book provides an essential resource for the fields of urban
studies, sociology, anthropology, history, analysis, design,
planning, management, and policy. It epitomises the search for
a valid position on Urbanism within the context of the enigmatic
development of the cities of Pakistan, both big and small. It seeks
2013
to unravel the confusion emanating from unfulfilled planning
ambitions for over six decades now. While it is an attempt to
550 pages
present urban environments as layered precipitates of civilisation,
Hardback
they are discussed as instrumentalities and support infrastructures
978-0-19-906337-6
of cultural practices.
