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.

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.
