Though a contemporary civil society is beginning to surface in Pakistan, this chapter argues that Pakistan's version of civil society is "savage," in that it is tied to a unique strain of capitalism that is often found in environments that are poor, multiethnic, & multilingual. The chapter comprises four main sections: (1) the contemporary unfolding of civil society, (2) the relationship that exists between capitalism & inequality, (3) the development of civil society in Pakistan, & (4) the need to further analyze Pakistani & other emerging civil societies.

Development may be best understood in terms of the interplay among capital accumulation, the state, and class. Subject to globalizing structures, classes, in turn, are examined in light of their interactions with culture, especially gender and religion as well as ecology. Case-studies - Brazil, the Asian newly industrializing countries, China, and Mozambique - reveal three possibilities for overcoming underdevelopment: joining, leaving, or weaving through global capitalism. The conclusions do not fail to present specific principles upon which policies can be based.
