A review of women's intellectual contribution under the bureaucracy in Pakistan.

This paper is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of literature on the factors that restraint women's intellectual contribution in Pakistan's bureaucratic setup, specifically in the department of foreign affairs. The second part examines the root cause of sociocultural dilemmas that rule out the role of women in Pakistan's bureaucracy. The third part provides the argument that Pakistan's bureaucracy is not gender neutral and by consequence not Weberian (Evans and Rauch, 1999). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
