Writing from Islamabad, the author describes the present political situation in Pakistan & discusses earlier attempts to reach democracy through the electoral process. He contends that it would be absurd to try to predict the future of Pakistan, this country that faces challenges that few others have had to confront. However, it appears that Pakistan is going to make a third attempt to become a democracy. S. Stanton

Unlike with many other American theorists, the work of Kenneth Waltz has always been popular in India. Even at the height of the Cold War, while Washington allied with Pakistan and practiced the theses of the "ayatollahs of non-proliferation", Waltz was among the few opposing voices, defending India's nuclear program. For a relatively weak India used to see its strategic posture analyzed with condescendence and old-fashioned cultural and orientalist paradigms, Waltz's structural neo-realism promises equality because it restricts its analysis to a universal criterion of pure power. This allows Indian realists to narrate their country's progressive normalization as a great power. Adapted from the source document.

Even before they were chosen as the Presidential hopefuls of their respective parties, Barack Obama & John McCain had already developed coherent foreign policy agendas. This article argues that both candidates propose to follow multilateral internationalist strategies & share a similar position on great many issues. They are opposed on a limited but significant set of issues, namely Iraq, Pakistan & the relationship with the Russian Federation. Adapted from the source document.
A vast majority of research characterizes organizational politics as an aversive phenomenon and thus recommends exploring the factors that minimize its intensity. This study primarily endeavored to examine the role of high performance work practices (HPWPs) in controlling organizational politics. The moderating influence of Machiavellian personalities on HPWPs- politics was also evaluated. Through a questionnaire survey, 243 responses were obtained from engineers working in a local industrial area of capital city of Pakistan. The results showed an inverse relationship between HPWPs and perceived organizational politics (POP), and the moderating role of Machiavellianism was substantiated. Practical implications are presented based on the study results. ; Una vasta mayoría de investigaciones caracteriza a las políticas organizacionales como un fenómeno aversivo, por consiguiente, recomendado para explorar los factores para minimizar la intensidad. Este estudio intenta primariamente analizar el papel de las prácticas laborales de alto rendimiento (high performance work practices [HPWPs]) en controlar las políticas organizacionales. La influencia moderadora de personalidades maquiavélicas también se evaluó en HPWPs para la relación de políticas percibidas. A través de una encuesta con cuestionario, se obtuvieron 243 respuestas de ingenieros que trabajan en el área industrial local. Los resultados presentados mostraron una relación inversa entre HPWPs y la percepción de la política organizacional. Asimismo se corroboró el papel moderador del maquiavelismo. El debate y las implicaciones prácticas se presentan con base en los resultados del estudio. ; A grande maioria das pesquisas caracteriza a política organizacional como um fenômeno aversivo, portanto recomenda que sejam explorados os fatores para minimizar a sua intensidade. Este estudo objetivou principalmente examinar o papel das práticas do Sistema de Trabalho de Alto Desempenho (STAD) no controle da política organizacional. A influência moderadora das personalidades maquiavélicas também foi avaliada nos STAD em relação à percepção de política na organização (PPO). Por meio de questionário, foram obtidas 243 respostas de engenheiros que trabalham na área industrial local. Os resultados mostraram uma relação inversa entre STDA e PPO. Da mesma forma, o papel moderador do maquiavelismo foi confirmado. A discussão e as implicações práticas são apresentadas com base nos resultados do estudo.
