FEER Forum: Pakistan Elections
Dear Reader,
Ahead of today’s critical elections in Pakistan, the Far Eastern Economic Review
has added a special commentary on the country’s fractured political environment
to the FEER Forum. This article can be accessed for free at
http://www.feer.com/forum.
In “Pakistan’s Historic Opportunity for Change,” former advisor to Benazir
Bhutto and co-chair of the Hudson Institute’s Project on Islam and Democracy
Hussain Haqqani examines prospects for democracy in the divided country. He
wonders whether Pakistan can succeed in changing its government through
elections for the first time as an independent country, or whether the electoral
process will be plagued by widespread fraud and intimidation.
The FEER Forum is a space for the region's thought leaders to contribute shorter
essays on a timelier basis than is possible in the magazine.
We hope you enjoy this commentary.
Sincerely,
Colum Murphy
Deputy Editor
