Impact of Branded Goods on Consumer’s Purchase Intentions Abstract Brands have become an important figure nowadays and branded goods have immensely changed the perceptions of the individuals purchase decisions. Branded goods are basically an ironic symbol for the consumers for that they are willing to pay higher prices in return of a good name.

Genre Analysis of a Pakistani Clothing Brand Website
PUTAJ – Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 26, No.1 (January-June), 2019 Exploring Structure and Content: Genre Analysis of a Pakistani Clothing Brand Website Fizza Farrukh*& Wasima Shehzad Abstract Analyzing the genre of websites helps in understanding the minimum requirements expected out of that particular virtual space. The idea of understanding the structure and content of a well-established e-commerce website is particularly important for those who are relatively novice in the field. For this purpose, the current study investigates how a popular Pakistani clothing brand has constructed its website by keeping its potential users in forefront. The theoretical framework comprises of genre-based approaches of Swales (1990) and Bhatia (2014). Moreover, the investigation outlines how genre-based studies help in understanding the meaning-making processes prevalent in the minds of the creators of that genre. The study also compares and contrasts the studied website with other similar websites to provide an overall comprehension of this sub-genre in particular. Keywords: Female education; economic development; women empowerment; Pakistan Introduction Formulating a discourse community for the users, websites become viable mediums to disseminate information (Mohd & Ali, 2015). Beyond the fulfillment of this basic functionality, websites’ genres will vary with variation in their targeted audience (Emigh & Herring, 2005). For example, Miller and Shepherd (2004) explored blog websites in their study, and argued that this genre fulfills rhetorical needs of the users, by providing a virtual space to them for writing their thoughts. The genres of websites of business companies designated for e-commerce (i.e. online stores) have been investigated by a limited number of studies (Mohd & Ali, 2015). -

Pakistan's Textile Bind Presents Bush Team with a Tough Choice Cut Tariff to Help Key Ally Or Protect U.S
10/29/01 Wall St. J. A1 2001 WL-WSJ 29676183 Page 1 The Wall Street Journal Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc. Monday, October 29, 2001 Looming Battle: Pakistan's Textile Bind Presents Bush Team With a Tough Choice Cut Tariff to Help Key Ally Or Protect U.S. Industry; Gap Inc. Backs Islamabad Indian Drugs, Russian Steel By Helene Cooper, Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal A battle over Perry Ellis slacks and Gap crew-neck shirts has become the first major clash between economic and security interests in President George Bush's post-Sept. 11 world order. The government of Pakistan, a critical U.S. ally in the Afghan war, is asking the Bush administration to reduce tariffs on textiles from Pakistan. Unless tariffs are cut, Pakistani officials argue, U.S. clothing firms will continue to cut back purchases from Pakistani factories for fear of disruption and higher insurance costs. But that makes U.S. textile executives like Anderson Warlick fear they are about to become the next victims of the war on terrorism. Mr. Warlick, chief executive of cotton-yarn manufacturer Parkdale Inc., in Gastonia, N.C., says that even in a time of war and national crisis, the U.S. has no business putting the interests of Pakistan ahead of that of the textile industry in North Carolina. "We're paying 30 pieces of silver for limited support in Pakistan, at best, and our industry is being given away," he says. On Friday, Parkdale said it will shut down two yarn plants, a move that will put about 120 people out of work. -

An Analysis of the Role of National Identity upon Democratic Development in Pakistan By: Adil Khan Political Science Thesis‐ Spring 2009 Advisor: Prof Anita Isaacs Haverford College 2 Contents Introduction 3 Locating the Discussion 6 Democracy and Unity 7 The Nation and Legitimacy 13 Post‐colonialism and State Formation 15 Sub‐national Identities 21 Implications for Policy 24 Conclusion: Identity and Democracy 28 The Story of Pakistan 30 A Series of Unfortunate Events: A Brief History of Pakistan 32 National Identity Formation in Pakistan 38 Explaining the Failure of Democratic Consolidation 45 Role of Elites 47 Institutional Incapacity 52 Sub‐national Identity Politics 55 Looking Ahead: Identity and Democracy in Pakistan 59 Conclusion: Reevaluating National Identity and Democratization 63 Bibliography 65 3 Jean Jacques Rousseau wrote: ‘It would be better before examining the act by which a people give itself to a king, to examine that by which it has become a people; for this act, being necessarily prior to the other, is the true foundation of society’ (9). Using Pakistan as a case study, this essay will follow Rousseau’s advice and explore how a collective identity affects the nation’s ability to function as a democracy. The nature of the identity that provides unity for a nation is a fundamental issue for democracy. As the Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville once noted: ‘In order that society should exist and, a fortiori, that a society should prosper, it is necessary that the mind of all the citizens should be rallied and held together by certain predominant ideas’ (qtd in Miller 1). -
The Case of the Pashtun Tribes Mohamed Umer Khan Royal
Re-emergent Pre-State Substructures: The Case of the Pashtun Tribes Mohamed Umer khan Royal Holloway, University of London Department of Politics & International Relations PhD March 2011 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Mohamed Umer Khan, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ 2 Abstract This study explores borderlands as a function of the imposition of the post-colonial state upon primary structures of identity, polity and social organisation which may be sub-state, national or trans-state in nature. This imposition, particularly in the postcolonial experience of Asia, manifests itself in incongruence between identities of nation and state, between authority and legitimacy, and between beliefs and systems, each of which is most acutely demonstrated in the dynamic borderlands where the competition for influence between non-state and state centres of political gravity is played out. The instability in borderlands is a product of the re-territorialisation of pre-state primary structures, and the state’s efforts in accommodating, assimilating or suppressing these structures through a combination of militarisation, providing opportunities for greater political enfranchisement, and the structure of trans-borderland economic flows. The Pashtun tribes of the Afghan borderland between Pakistan and Afghanistan are exhibiting a resurgence of autonomy from the state, as part of the re-territorialisation of the primary substructure of Pakhtunkhwa that underlies southern Afghanistan and north-western Pakistan. This phenomenon is localised, tribally driven, and replicated across the entirety of Pakhtunkhwa. It is a product of the pashtunwali mandated autonomy of zai from which every kor, killi and khel derives its security, and through the protection of which each is able to raise its nang, and is able to realise its position within the larger clan or tribe. -
