Abstract

Social change and policy innovation are increasingly recognized as key drivers of sustainable development. However, the complexity of contemporary social issues requires interdisciplinary approaches that can offer holistic solutions. This article examines the importance of integrating various academic disciplines—such as political science, sociology, economics, and law—into policymaking and social change initiatives. Drawing on case studies from Pakistan, we explore how interdisciplinary frameworks have led to innovative policies in areas such as gender equality, environmental sustainability, and poverty alleviation. By investigating both successes and failures, we aim to highlight the strengths and challenges of such an integrated approach. Our analysis provides insights into how Pakistan can enhance its policy frameworks to promote effective and inclusive social change
