The Development Economics Reader
The Development Economics Reader. Edited by Giorgio Secondi. London: Routledge, 2008, 560 pp., ISBN 978-0415771573, $65 (paperback). There has long been, in my mind at least, a need for an easily a
The limits of success? NGOs, microfinance and economic development in Pakistan's Northern Areas
For its advocates, microfinance has become a near-panacea for ensuring that the poor of the developing world would benefit from growth and development.

Why Borrow Trouble for Yourself and Lend It to Neighbors? Understanding the Historical Roots of Pakistan's Afghan Policy

It ordered its complete restructuring. Now direct equity p…
Corruption and the Decline of the State in Pakistan
Pakistan is generally included in most discussions of 'failing states' that pose the maximum danger to global security, with the rise of Islamic militancy being the most commonly cited reason for the 'failure'. However, Islamic militancy is a result of impending state failure, not a cause of it. This article argues that the state's inability, caused by decades of systemic corruption, to provide any appreciable level of public goods or services, b…
