Summary: Although scholars and practitioners have identified explicit structural impediments that constrain countries' efforts to alleviate poverty and promote sustainable social development, there has been limited research conducted to identify the specific barriers to development that prevail in Pakistan today. The authors of Development Challenges Confronting Pakistan go far toward filling this void, articulating the unique blend of factors that affect Pakistan’s ability to eliminate poverty and promote social justice.
