Impact of International Politics on Pakistan`s Energy Crisis

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to identify the involvement of international powers in making energy related policies in third world countries, particularly in Pakistan. The policies adopted by the government of Pakistan, to cope with the power crisis that has arisen during the recent years, are not local policies but rather the policies imposed by international powers through institutions like The World Bank or International Monetary Fund. The reasons and the procedures through which governments are forced to adopt such policies and their results are highlighted in this study.

Key words: Energy crisis in Pakistan; IMF, WB, New Public Management
