One of Pakistan's largest problems is its inability to produce enough electricity. In Access to Power, Ijlal Naqvi explores state capacity in Pakistan by following the material infrastructure of electricity across the provinces and down into cities and homes. He argues that the national challenges of budgetary constraints and power shortages directly result from conscious strategic decisions that are integral to Pakistan's infrastructural state. Lookingthrough the lens of the electrical power sector, this book reveals how Pakistan actually functions and to whose benefit.
