Summary:
The study begins with the hypothesis that economic and political variables are the salient determinants of ethnic conflicts in developing societies. The purposes of the thesis are threefold: (1) to explore the influence of inequitable revenue allocations and unequal distribution of political power among ethnic groups of Pakistan; (2) to assess the influence of elites on the political development of that polyethnic society; and (3) to identify the alternatives open to elites in dealing with the problem of political integration raised by Pathan regionalism in Pakistan. Literature dealing with the elite approach to such problems and the outcomes of such approaches are examined. Elite attitudes and structures of their approaches to similar conflicts in other developing societies were related to problems of political integration in Pakistan. Drawing on this discussion the conclusion outlines certain alternative options and their probable outcome for the task of national integration in Pakistan.
