Overview of Civil Society Organizations: Pakistan
Asian Development Bank | May 2009
Abstract
Pakistan’s civil society is characterized by hybrid forms, multiple inheritances, and the unresolved struggle between the practices and values of pre-capitalist society and new modes of social life, between authoritarian legacies, and democratic aspirations. While some social forms such as councils of elders, neighborhood associations, and shrines continue from previous phases of society, many new groups have been created through the development of capitalism. Such are the dynamics of an evolving civil society, caught between the throes of a dying social order and the birth pangs of a new one.
