This book attempts to explain Pakistan's crisis of governance in historical and philosophical terms. It argues that South Asia's indigenous orientation towards the exercise of power has reasserted itself and produced a regression in the behaviour of the ruling elite. This has meant that in the sixty years of independence from British rule the behaviour of the state apparatus and political class has become more arbitrary, proprietorial and delusional resulting deterioration in the intellectual and moral quality of the state apparatus is a mortal threat to Pakistan.
The Culture of Power and Governance of Pakistan 1947-2008 examines the persistent crisis of governance in Pakistan through a historical and philosophical lens.
This book is regarded as a critical examination of Pakistan's political landscape, offering a historical and philosophical framework to understand its governance challenges. The author posits that a regression in the behavior of the ruling elite, driven by indigenous power dynamics, has led to an increasingly arbitrary and detrimental state apparatus. The analysis suggests that this intellectual and moral decline represents a significant threat to the nation's stability and future.
