INTRODUCTION TO PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MGT111)
FALL 2012
ASSIGNMENT NO. 1
DUE DATE: NOVEMBER 22, 2012
MARKS: 15
ASSIGNMENT: The structure of government traditionally is comprised of the political leadership followed by the
bureaucracy or the civil machinery. With the passage of time the political leadership felt that they are under pressure
of being the preventatives of the masses and found difficult to take measures or the decisions that may harm their
good will among the masses. This structure was also criticized for being under the clutches or branded by the laziness
of the bureaucracy. Therefore, a new structure evolved that is free from both the political as well as bureaucratic
influences. The new structure is known as Regulatory bodies. These bodies are entrusted with the function to regulate
the policies for the major institutions concerning the government and the masses. These include the regulation of rules
or the prices of various commodities such as petroleum, electricity, communications including both print and electronic
media etc.
Question: Mention at least three such regulatory bodies working in Pakistan at the moment and explain the role within
their respective domain.
