Breaking the Breakers brings together 11 case studies from Pakistani public governance. This volume aims to not just guide students of governance and civil servants about the case method, but also to enlighten general readers with an interest in public sector management.

For the more discerning, the cases offer a means to understand the reasons for administrative failure as well as appreciate the principles of good governance for improving future performances of administrative groups, projects, policies, institutions, and governance systems in Pakistan. From the time-worn tradition of Aesop’s fables and epics of Homer to the Thousand and One Nights and Sadi’s Gulistan and Bustan, storytelling has long been recognized as a powerful medium of communicatio
