Rethinking Pakistan: A 21st Century Perspective
Thursday 10 October, 4pm-5:30pm, Violet Laidlaw Room, Crystal Macmillan Building, 15a George Square, EH8 9LD
This important book brings together contemporary currents of thought from a galaxy of established scholars and intellectuals of Pakistan. The book covers three major areas of investigation into the public life of Pakistan: 1) it delves into the historical, sociological and cultural causes of various political conflicts, from the problematic role of the educational curricula to cultural violence, persistent militarism and the curse of enforced disappearances. 2) the book represents a source of inspiration for the liberal agenda, setting the feminist debate in a global context, challenging the shrinking space for media and focusing on the largely forgotten area of industrial relations. 3) We enter a domain of hope, planning for a bright future and focusing on some longer-term issues couched in comprehensive new approaches to development, environment, energy, foreign policy and feminism.
We hope to see you there and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
With very best wishes,
