Each book in Oxfam's "Country Profiles" series describes the social, political, historical, environmental and economic context of Oxfam's work in one particular country. The books focus on the real lives of ordinary people and the major development issues that face them, and are illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams. This new profile gives a wide-ranging account of the historic development and political economy of Pakistan, yet also conveys the reality of daily life there for ordinary people. It examines why poverty still exists in a country where so much progress has taken place in economic terms, and describes how poor people are taking the initiative in improving their living conditions.
