Next Asian Tiger or failed state?• Serious economic turbulence ahead
• Unsustainable deficits – trade, budget, energy, water
• Under-investment in basic services
• Recent growth spurt is ending; led to bubbles in real estate, KSE, consumer demand
• ‘Growth without development’ – limited structural change & little trickle-down
• Polarized society – many dimensions
Democratic or autocratic ?• Sickly democracy in Asia: 2006 saw military
coups in Thailand & Fiji; 2007 saw non-elected caretaker gov. in Bangladesh & state of emergency in Pakistan
• EIU rank of 27 Asian countries (2007): 16 ‘flawed democracies’; 10 ‘authoritarian’; 1 ‘full democracy’
• Democratic practice within political parties is poor. Dynastic parties are symptom thereof
• Democracy in Pakistan will continue to wobble – ‘muddling through’
• Space needed to make it ‘home-grown’
