		<description><![CDATA[By Khaled Diab The taboo surrounding the cruel murder of family members in the name of honour is slowly being broken. May 2009 Though relatively rare, killing a family member in the name of honour should be a cause for shame, not pride, as it reflects a cowardly compliance with inhumane norms. Killing someone, especially a family member, is something I cannot begin to contemplate. Of course, I realise that it is a sad fact of life that some of the worst physical, sexual and psychological abuses – and even murders – are perpetrated by relatives. In some ways, it is more horrifying and tragic when abuses are committed not to satisfy some base motives but for the apparently exalted ideal of &#8220;honour&#8221;. Each year, thousands die around the world – from the Middle East to the Indian subcontinent, and from Latin America to China – in the name of family honour. The victims of these crimes are mostly women. Rana Husseini – a courageous and outspoken Jordanian journalist who has dedicated most of her career to campaigning against this warped cultural practice – will publish a book on the subject at the end of May. Murder in the Name [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Khaled Diab Why does India, despite its size and diversity, seem so much more stable than Pakistan? Last week, I was in Barcelona attending a conference on the challenges to development posed by countries defined as &#8220;fragile&#8221; – which is the focus of the first-ever European Report on Development. The focus was sub-Saharan countries, but I was led to ponder Pakistan&#8217;s chronic instability as I viewed the images of hundreds of thousands of civilians fleeing the fighting between the army and the Taliban. One expert at the gathering described Pakistan&#8217;s fragility as a paradox and an anomaly, given the size of the country&#8217;s economy and its level of income and development. The current flare-up aside, some of the differences are more ones of perception than reality. For instance, according to the Human Development Index – which, incidentally, was developed by two economists from India and Pakistan – these two countries are at similar levels of development (132nd and 139th respectively). For the past few years, India has been experiencing extraordinary economic growth – fuelled by its knowledge boom – but until the 1990s Pakistan performed consistently better and had a significantly higher per-capita GDP. As for civil strife, sectarian [...]]]></description>
