    A Systematic Institutional Analysis of Punjab Aab-e-Pak Authority Act. 2019
    (UMT, Lahore, 2021) Muhammad Ali Sulehria
    In the recent times, a revamped interest has been developed both by the developing and developed countries on the policy design as a systematic process in policy making process. However, most of the literature on policy design has been dominated by the latter. Unlike the past literature which categorized the policy design as political, instrumental and implementational variable, it has been recognized as an institutional process located in the formal institutions of the content of policy documents. The present study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on policy design literature from a developing country, Pakistan, by conducting a directed content analysis of its provincial level water policy, Punjab Aab-e-Pak Authority (PAPA) 2019. We identify, code, configure and analyze the rules, norms and shared strategies in the institutional statements of the policy document by applying the Institutional Grammar tool developed by Sue Crawford and Elinor Ostrom for institutional analysis to understand its policy design in terms of institutional structure and institutional strength. After the analysis and findings, we conclude that PAPA 2019 institutes a weak policy design and provide useful recommendations and suggestions to improve it.
