Functionalism of Municipal Laws and Good Governance in Pakistan

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to make a case for good governance as the only solution for Pakistan’s multitude of problems. There is a need for goodwill to be restored among the people, if there was any, to begin with, given that Pakistan has always struggled with governance issues since its origin. What Pakistan needs now is the implementation of policies that can be a catalyst for dynamic and long-lasting social change. Categorically, the current nature of existing problems rooted within halted development, social disorder, and a state of anarchy, can only be combated through effective institutional structures and effective models of government that are able to act upon actionable items in the interest of the public. Today’s dilemmas are rooted in archaic practices that need to be re-evaluated to meet the needs of the hour. Obsolete, ineffective modes of practice need to be reconfigured through a process of intense scrutiny and amendments. Political reform is the ultimate solution for the way forward. In this era of rapid globalization, and the visibility of other nations thriving across the globe, there is an urgent need to act swiftly to bring forth positive change within the existing system that is not failing, but in fact, has already failed.
