The Political Origins of Economic Reform in Pakistan
Pakistan has long struggled to implement reforms and to adapt to an increasingly globalized world. Today, the country's mixed track record in terms of putting in place the right reforms presents one of the leading challenges to stability.

Shuja Nawaz will offer brief commentary.
