DESCRIPTION:

This note provides a re-articulation of two divergent views on Pakistan by international experts. The first view compiled by Stephen P. Cohen, based on his own and the views of other experts, is influenced by socio-political factors. These may have the potential to shape the future of Pakistan. Whereas the second view, presented by Jim O¿Neill along with his colleagues, performs an analysis of Pakistan purely on economic and financial grounds. Stephen Cohen presents a gloomy picture about the future of Pakistan after evaluating it on different dimensions (socioeconomic factors, state coherence and ideology, and external factors); while Jim O¿Neill is relatively optimistic about the future of Pakistan based on its potential growth opportunities in the form of a large human capital resource.
