Gwadar has geostrategic significance as it lies on the conduit of three most commercially important regions of the world. The oil rich Middle East, Central Asia bestowed with natural resources, and South Asia having the potential for growth, for this century. Another Test or Another Trap Monday, April 01, 2013 The awarding of the multi-billion dollar contract for construction and operation of Gwadar Port to China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC), a state-run Chinese firm, in February this year, has added a new chapter in decades-long Sino-Pak partnership. The project is mutually beneficial for both countries in the region for it will not only give them a corridor for greater commercial activity but will also bring closer the Central Asian countries. It is also expected to earn them a great strategic leverage. The recent agreement is the part of a plan to open up an energy and trade corridor from the Gulf region, across Pakistan to western China. The transfer of project operations to China caught attention of the international media and triggered discourse on the economic and strategic shift that the presence of China tends to induce in one of the world's major maritime zones. Naturally, it raised concerns of major stakeholders in the Indian Ocean, particularly Pakistan's eastern neighbour, India, and the United States.

Griffith University The thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2020 2 Synopsis This thesis studies a 2002 attempt to fundamentally reform the Pakistan Police Service (PSP) through the promulgation of Police Order 2002. This reform was aimed at converting the PSP from an instrument of coercive government to a force responsive to and protective of the citizenry. It constituted, as its introduction explicitly stated, a significant move toward democratic consolidation in Pakistan. PO 2002 was introduced nationwide on 14 August 2002 with wide support from Pakistani elites and under the direction of the autocratic but reform-oriented government of General Pervez Musharraf. Yet PO 2002 failed. It was amended in 2004 and annulled in 2010. Understanding why it failed is important for understanding the challenges confronting democratising developing states, like Pakistan.

    The Globalization Bulletin Pakistan Economy January 2017 NEWS COVERAGE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 23RD TO JANUARY 29TH 2017 STAY CULTURE HITTING THE ECONOMY, SAYS CJ Dawn, January 29th, 2017 LAHORE: Lahore High Court Chief Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah said on Saturday that the culture of granting a “stay” in litigation should be discouraged as it was hitting the country’s economy hard. He was speaking at a function held at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), where he inaugurated a “Mediation Centre” for out-of-court settlement of business disputes. He said nobody else could understand the value of time and money better than the business community, therefore, business disputes should be resolved instead of wasting time. He said new ways should be found out for dispute resolution to save time and money of the parties to litigation. He said concept of mediation was being promoted rapidly and the LCCI had taken an important initiative through establishing a platform for the purpose. Justice Shah invited the chamber to form a focal committee that should be integrated with the system of the LHC through information technology. He said that an Alternate Dispute Resolution Centre was being established in District Courts, in collaboration with the World Bank, that would be inaugurated soon. He said because the courts were already burdened with criminal cases, contractual issues should be resolved through mediation. LCCI President Abdul Basit said no country could achieve the goal of economic development without ensuring rule of law. He said the LCCI had established the Mediation Centre for out-of-court settlements of the business disputes.

  • 2014 NIS Pakistan EN.Pdf
    NIS COUNTRY REPORT Foreword I have great satisfaction in introducing Pakistan’s National Integrity System Country Report. The objective of the NIS report is to assess and evaluate the various key institutions of governance in the country. These institutions are responsible for integrity and the elimination of corruption. A study of the NIS was earlier conducted by TI Pakistan in 2002, in which research was undertaken in 8 pillars of the state. This research looks into the laws and practice in 13 pillars of the state. The strengths and weaknesses of different pillars have been identified. Recommendations to improve governance in the key institutions have been specified. It is hoped that the Government will utilize this report to improve the practices so that corruption in the country can be minimized. This work was made possible due to a grant from the Transparency International Secretariat. Furthermore, the research had been undertaken by Islamic Countries Society of Statistical Sciences (ISOSS) Saad Rashid Executive Director, Transparency International Pakistan 1 NIS COUNTRY REPORT Project Team Lead Researcher: Dr. Munir Ahmad Founding President, Islamic Countries of Statistical Sciences (ISOSS) and Chairman, Social Research Centre (SRC), Lahore.
