The Report of The Century Foundation International Working Group on Pakistan
The
time is long past for Pakistan to wake up to its present predicament and begin
a serious reassessment of the fundamental policy challenges it faces. Decades
of mistakes and misperceptions have compounded pernicious ideological choices to present Pakistani society with a series of ongoing
crises it must address before its basic resilience is overwhelmed: a public
sphere dominated by extremists, a crippled economy debilitated by corruption,
and a deteriorating regional position. The Century Foundation International
Working Group on Pakistan, comprised of a broad and diverse assemblage of
American, Pakistani and international figures deeply concerned about the
country’s future, believes it is time for Pakistan to address these problems
vigorously and comprehensively, and for its international partners to assist
where they can.
