This month’s edition of Paradigm Shift explores the strategic, economic, and societal transformations reshaping the international system. From great-power competition and resource politics to Pakistan’s domestic challenges, the magazine offers a diverse collection of analyses that connect history with contemporary affairs.
The edition features an in-depth examination of Xi Jinping’s China, exploring how Beijing has blended centuries-old civilizational traditions with modern statecraft to emerge as a global power. Readers will also find a historical analysis of Britain’s deliberate manufacture of Hindu-Muslim animosity, tracing how colonial policies continue to influence South Asian politics today. The magazine further examines the intensifying competition over strategic trade corridors and critical minerals, highlighting how these resources are becoming central to global power and the evolving relationship between the United States and Pakistan.
Beyond geopolitics, this issue addresses some of Pakistan’s most pressing social and economic questions. It explores the country’s investment climate, debates surrounding the Rs 8,484 poverty line, the ongoing education emergency, and the persistent issue of violence against women. Readers will also find practical insights comparing CSS and private-sector careers, as well as a special feature uncovering the fascinating history of Lahore’s Tomb of Dai Anga, one of the city’s most overlooked Mughal treasures.
