Lahore School Conference on the Management of the Pakistan Economy
March 25, 2015
The first day of the Eleventh Conference on the Management of the Pakistan Economy hosted by the Lahore School of Economics was opened up with a welcome address by Dr. Shahid Amjad Chaudhry. The keynote speaker was Dr. Robert Wade (Professor, London School of Economics). He said that before 1980’s it was widely understood that development meant rising overall “prosperity” and that heavy investment in infrastructure and in industry were key drivers. After the mid 1980’s the content of development came to be “extreme poverty reduction”, “humanitarian assistance”, “primary school education”, “primary health care”, “anti-corruption”. Why this change? He argued that it was due to several factors: (1) the end of the Cold War, and the resulting change in the geopolitical strategy of western states led by the US; (2) the increasing strength of “post-materialist” values in developed countries and their translation into the content of western development thinking (eg World Bank, USAID, DfID); (3) business interests in the West; and (4) continued western control of inter-state organizations that are meant to be organizations for the world (eg World Bank).
