The situation in Pakistan is characterized by a series of overlapping crises that have become a defining feature of its governance and socio-economic landscape. According to Sardar Khan Niazi in Daily The Patriot, Pakistan's history is a 'catalogue of emergencies' including devastating floods, economic instability, and security threats. The article highlights the need for structural reforms and effective crisis management, emphasizing that 'crises are rarely isolated events; they are symptoms of deeper systemic vulnerabilities.' Similarly, Dawn's article on the 'Hierarchy of failure' critiques the misapplication of economic theories like 'creative destruction' without considering Pakistan's unique constraints, such as the 'most expensive electricity in the region' and a 'parallel economy' worth $68 billion, which undermines formal sector competitiveness. The Tribune Latest points to governance failures, particularly in urban safety and energy projects, where ambitious power projects have resulted in underutilized capacity and financial burdens, with consumers paying between Rs2.5 and 2.8 trillion annually in capacity payments. This is compounded by a lack of accountability among political elites, as highlighted in the Tribune's critique of the PML-N's leadership decisions.
