This
paper examines the dialectic of power
between the elite and the poor in the
context of the decentralization of governance
currently underway in Pakistan. On the
basis of a historical analysis of the
forms in which state power has been constituted,
the paper indicates how the practice of
elite power was associated with the emergence
of an economic structure at the national
level, which tended to generate poverty.
The issue of economic efficiency at the
local government level is examined for
the first time in the context of the power
dynamics between elected local elites
and the bureaucracy.
