Making Federation WorkFEDERALISM 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 itself is a landmark event in the constitutional history of Pakistan. This event has been analysed in the different chapters of the book from different angles. Historical, political, economic, sociological, and environmental factors associated with this unique federal experiment have been thoroughly analysed by a galaxy of learned scholars.
Asma Faiz teaches in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).

The Role of Taxation in Pakistan’s RevivalJorge 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 in the near future as governments pursue a strategy of sustained economic growth. To reach the desired taxation level in Pakistan, an in-depth policy reforms programme needs to be formulated by policymakers. This will require a detailed analysis of tax structures and tax administration. This book attempts to provide the necessary analysis.
Jorge Martinez-Vazquez is Regents Professor of Economics and Director of the International Center for Public Policy, Andrew Young School, Georgia State University, USA.

Governance in PakistanhyBRIDISM, 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 irreconcilable features compels adoption of a framework of decision-making which accounts only for the immediate changing context. This ad hoc governance keeps the state oscillating between the poles of being an effective, resilient state or a failed state. This book is a must-read for those wishing to understand the 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 external factors including great power interests that are so central to the Pakistan story and explain the vicissitudes in its fortunes. Lodhi and her contributors contend that Pakistan and its people have the capacity to transform their country into a stable, modern Muslim state, but bold reforms will be needed to bring about this outcome.
Maleeha Lodhi has twice served as Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States as well as to the United Kingdom.
CONTRIBUTORS: Ahmed Rashid, Akbar Ahmed, Ayesha Jalal, Feroz Hassan Khan, Ishrat Husain, Maleeha Lodhi, Meekal Ahmed, Moeed Yusuf, Mohsin Hamid, Munir Akram, Muddassar Mazhar Malik, Saeed Shafqat, Shanza Khan, Shuja Nawaz, Syed Rifaat Hussain, Zahid Hussain, Ziad Alahdad, and Ziad Haider

With the Quaid-i-Azam during his Last DaysLt. 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 while he struggled with his illness and finally lost. The author was one of the very few persons who were in personal contact with the Quaid at this time. This account is based on the author’s entries in his personal diary. The book also sheds light on some traits of the Quaid, his demeanour, likes and dislikes, thus providing a glimpse 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 OblivionThE 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 from an Indian POW Camp. Compiled from the original notes jotted down by the author during the period of his de-briefing on return to Pakistan, this fascinating book provides an insider’s account of conditions under Indian custody. It is a gripping tale of individual courage, of disparate friendships made in adverse circumstances, 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 PakistanFRAMES 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 to unravel the confusion emanating from unfulfilled planning ambitions for over six decades now. While it is an attempt to present urban environments as layered precipitates of civilisation, they are discussed as instrumentalities and support infrastructures of cultural practices.
Khalid W. Bajwa is Professor and Department Head at the Department of Architecture and Design, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT), Lahore.
Ali Khan is presently Associate Professor of Anthropology and Department Chair at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).
