description: A candid and perceptive expos� of the complex and intricate administrative network of Pakistan, this study traces the steady transition of the bureaucratic �lite from an important constituent in the state to a pervasive power in statecraft. Covering pre-reform, reform, and post-reformperiods, Kennedy presents a balanced, critical analysis of the role of various aspects of the bureaucracy and contends that Pakistan's bureaucratic philosophy remains governed by 19th-century conventions that hinder administrative reform and development.
