These themes provide the foundation for meaningful discussions, research collaborations, and policy recommendations that respond directly to Pakistan’s institutional and gover- nance challenges.
Our Approach
Rooted in the intellectual movement of decoloniality, the PPSC emphasizes southern perspectives and indigenous frameworks of governance. It challenges the dominance of Western-centric paradigms, advocating instead for homegrown political thought that reGects Pakistan’s unique experiences, history, and aspirations.
By integrating scholarship with practice, PPSC serves as a bridge between academia and governance, empowering political scientists to contribute more effectively to national development and democratic strengthening.
A Call for Collaboration
The PPSC believes that no single institution can address Pakistan’s multifaceted challenges alone. By uniting academia, policymakers, media, and civil society, PPSC aims to forge innovative strategies and sustainable progress for a more informed, just, and prosperous Pakistan.
Together, we can reshape political understanding, amplify academic impact, and create new pathways for national transformation. PPSC will actively conduct consortiums, conferences, workshops, seminars, symposiums, and policy dialogue.
