		<description><![CDATA[Came across a passage while reading that reminded me of that famous &#8216;strong-man&#8217; mentality that has prevailed so often in Pakistan. It is a common belief that the decision-making process guiding crisis-response efforts must and will be centralized (‘t Hart, Rosenthal, and Kouzmin 1993). This so-called centralization thesis underpins the public want of a figurehead [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nsahmed.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1820104&amp;post=1351&amp;subd=nsahmed&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is brilliant.

"Almost the whole of my text at the moment, in my head as I fall asleep, is summed up by the word "contempt". Contempt, in politics, for the hypocrisy, the double standards, the double dealing, the corruption and the moral suasion. It's almost impossible for me to explain just how deeply I feel contempt. I want to go into detail - and I think you'll be rather shocked, and I hope rather edified, by what I have to say."<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nsahmed.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1820104&amp;post=1324&amp;subd=nsahmed&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

For the most part this isn&#8217;t too meaningful, but his recommendations for improving IBA are quite insightful in retrospect, and it&#8217;s interesting that he repeatedly urged for the need for not only cosmetic but also structural [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nsahmed.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1820104&amp;post=1305&amp;subd=nsahmed&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
