    • 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.
