This comprehensive volume makes a significant contribution to the ongoing debates surrounding the nature of Pakistan's political economy, particularly in its contemporary social dynamics. Serving as the first comprehensive academic study of Pakistan's political economy in over three decades, it addresses a wide range of issues, including state, class, society, gender, the middle classes, the media, the bazaar economy, urban spaces, and the emerging elite.
By examining these various aspects, the book offers a fresh perspective on modern-day Pakistan, moving beyond the narrow focus on terrorism, extremism, political Islam, and civilian-military relations. Instead, it adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from a diverse array of academic disciplines to provide a comprehensive understanding of the country's social sciences.
The book not only showcases new research by emerging scholars but also proposes a new political economy for Pakistan that reflects the country's contemporary reality and the diverse social sciences. The chapters engage in dynamic and dialectical discussions of emerging processes and trends in shaping Pakistan's political economy, encouraging scholars to engage with and extend these concerns and issues.
Overall, this volume is a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and policymakers interested in understanding the complex dynamics of Pakistan's political economy and its role in shaping the nation's social and economic landscape.
