Naveed Ahmed examines the impact of structural reform strategies of International Financial Institutions(IFIs) on the rule of law, good governance and development in Pakistan. The World Bank, the IMF and other international financial institutions have a mixed track record of success in Pakistan. This book seeks to understand why this is. The book explores how these institutions have been hindered in achieving social justice as a result of being caught between weak local governance structures and the competing interests of other powers, including Europe and the USA. Ahmed goes on to demonstrate how the ethos and instruments of rule of law and good governance can help counter the internal factors that have aggravated conditions of poverty and social injustice in Pakistan.
The essays in this volume evaluate and build on Barth's theology from the perspective of Pentecostal theology and, thereby, contribute to constructive Pentecostal systematic theology by using Barth as a valuable dialogue partner. At present, a theological conversation of Pentecostals with Barth does not exist and this volume fills this void. More widely, it will aid all those who seek a convergence of the Word and the Spirit in theology. Barth and Pentecostals share some important common theological interests. Barth's mature theology has a decidedly christological emphasis. Likewise, historically, Pentecostals have often spoken of a "full gospel" with an emphasis on Christ as savior, healer, baptizer (in the Spirit), and soon-and-coming King, with some Pentecostal traditions also adding a fifth emphasis on Christ the sanctifier. Furthermore, near the end of his life, Barth anticipated "the possibility of a theology of the third article, a theology where the Holy Spirit would dominate and be decisive." The realization of Barth's dream is no doubt coming to pass in part through the development of Pentecostal theology in as much as pneumatological theology (exploring how pneumatology affects, supplements, and might reform other doctrines) is an emerging paradigm for Pentecostal theology.
