The Political Economy of Industrial Development in Pakistan: A Long-Term Perspective
Keywords:
Development, industrial policy, Pakistan.Abstract
Private industrial development in Pakistan has a mixed track record. This paper presents a political economy overview of industrial development in Pakistan. Starting with an analysis of initial conditions, such as low levels of urbanization and out-migration of bourgeoisie, the paper looks at the ways in which policies were used to create advantages for elites and special interests. The paper also investigates the role of foreign aid in distorting industrial structure.
