  • Political Instability and Lessons for Pakistan: Case Study of 2014 PTI Sit in Protests
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Political Instability and Lessons for Pakistan: Case Study of 2014 PTI Sit in Protests Javed, Rabbia and Mamoon, Dawood University of Management and Technology 7 January 2017 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/76086/ MPRA Paper No. 76086, posted 11 Jan 2017 07:29 UTC Political Instability and Lessons for Pakistan: Case Study of 2014 PTI Sit in/Protests Rabbia Javed University of Management and Technology and Dawood Mamoon University of Management and Technology Abstract: It’s a short allegory to present the case for the importance of Political stability in the economic progress of a country. The Arab spring protests were seen as strengthening democracy in the Arab world. Notwithstanding the surprise Arab spring brought in shape of further destabilizing Middle East, a similar environment of unrest and protests in a practicing democracy like Pakistan capture same dynamics of uncertainty that dampen economic destabilization. The paper briefly covers PTI’s sit in protests in year 2014 to make a case for how political instability stifled economic progress in Pakistan though momentarily. 1. Introduction: The political stability is condition for the nation building and in return it is a process compulsory for the development of a nation. In most of developing countries the governments are not stable. A new government comes into the power overnight; either through coup or army takes over. The new government introduces a new system of rules for the operation of business which cause frustration and anger among the people. Political instability now becomes a serious problem especially in developing countries.

  • Alifailaan-Midtermreportcard-KP
    Alif Ailaan Midterm Report Card for Members of the Provincial Assembly – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa May 11, 2013 to November 11, 2015 On November 11, 2015, Pakistan’s four provincial assemblies and the National Assembly reached the mid-term mark in their tenure. The Alif Ailaan campaign has assessed the performance of every MNA and MPA since the 2013 elections against four benchmarks for education and awarded grades in each category, as well as an overall grade to each MNA, each MPA, and the assemblies overall. This document contains the Alif Ailaan Midterm Report Card for MPAs. What are the MPAs graded on? The four benchmarks on which MPAs have been graded on are: a) the state of school facilities (with the highest grades for those constituencies that made the most progress in the provision of boundary walls, electricity, drinking water and toilet facilities since the 2013 election) b) the state of gender parity (the ratio of boys to girls or girls to boys – with the highest grades for those constituencies that have shown the greatest movement toward parity since the 2013 election) c) the student to teacher ratio (with the highest grades for those constituencies with the largest improvement in student teacher ratio since 2013 – where low student to teacher ratios are considered better) d) the retention rate between class IV and class II (with the highest grades awarded to those constituencies with the highest improvement in the retention rate since 2013) Data limitations The construction of the grades is not based on ideal benchmarks, but rather on benchmarks made from official government data on education that was available, as well as representative of a desirable outcome in education.
