Pathways to Development is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together empirical and historical research by economists, political scientists, sociologists, legal and constitutional scholars, and law and policy reform experts, within and outside Pakistan, to document and describe the scale of challenges facing Pakistan and to organize discourse about ways in which these can be mitigated.
Effective governance structures serve as the cornerstone for shaping policies, regulations, and institutions that drive societal progress, all of which are critical for sustainable development. True development requires that progress and its dividends are accessible to all, beyond economic, social, and political inequalities. However, in the contemporary landscape, democracies globally are grappling with growing polarization and democratic backsliding, which threaten these very foundations.
Through an examination of the dynamics of governance and inclusion, the Pathways to Development Conference 2024 seeks to unravel the complexities inherent in building resilient, inclusive societies.
