  • Hospital Waste Management and Environmental Disaster Risk: A Case Study of Lahore

    The Discussion Paper analyzes the policy framework for Lahore’s hazardous waste management with respect to hospitals and evaluates the extent to which disaster risk reduction is integrated into the implementation process. Whilst previous studies have evaluated the effectiveness of hospital waste management procedures in the country, this research brings to attention the environmental risks that can result from improper waste disposal. It argues that by building adaptive governance, policymaking that anticipates a matrix of development concerns, a public administration response can be cultivated that is able to respond to the dynamic governance challenges improper waste disposal raises.

  • How is the China Pakistan Media Collaboration Booming Under CPEC
    This discussion paper aims to investigate three questions; how has media engagement between China and Pakistan taken shape under the CPEC canopy? Second, how is it transforming Pakistan’s mediascape and cinematic interactions? Third, how is ‘Islamic’ Pakistan and ‘Communist’ China’s cultural cohabitation evolving? This paper argues that media collaboration emerging through CPEC shows resilience of China-Pakistan ties and that it is an expression of Belt and Road Initiative’s (BRI) broader vision of expanding China’s culture and soft power across the ‘silk road’.

    • Ensuring an Equitable Distribution of the Covid-19 Vaccine in Pakistan

      Abstract: This study anticipates the possible challenges that are likely to arise as the Covid-19 vaccine is developed and distribution mechanisms are designed across governments. More specifically, it critically explores the governance aspects the Pakistani leadership should be considering while developing a Covid-19 vaccination program. It argues that equitable distribution be the guiding objective of such a program and this implies that the program is built around principles of anticipatory governance, relies on evidence-based decision making, and that invests in public health programs that are inclusive and representative of the Pakistani population’s varying sociocultural, economic and health needs.

    • Hong Kong: Signposts Of New Cold War And The Emerging World Order

      Abstract: The US and China are invoking threat and security concerns but the approach of the two is different. For the US, the issue is autonomy, freedom, and democracy. For the Chinese, it is terrorism, extremism and separatism from foreign collaboration. Thus Hong Kong is both a pretext and battleground for the Strategic Competition between the US and China.
