India: Economic Development and Social Opportunity
Jean Dreze , and Amartya Sen Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0198295286 |
Book Description
This book presents analysis of endemic deprivation in India and the role of public action in addressing the problem. The analysis is based on a broad view of economic development, focusing on human well-being and 'social opportunity' rather than the standard indicators of economic growth. India's success in reducing deprivation since Independence has been limited. Recent diagnoses of this failure of policy have concentrated on the counterproductive role of government regulation, and on the need for economic incentives to accelerate the economy. Professors Dreze and Sen argue that an assessment of India's failure to eliminate basic deprivations has to go beyond this limited focus, and to take note of the role played in that failure by inadequate public involvement in the provision of basic education, health care, social security, and related fields. Even the fostering of fast and participatory economic growth requires some basic social change, which is not addressed by liberalization and economic incentives. The authors also discuss the historical antecedents of these political and social neglects, including the distortion of policy priorities arising from inequalities of political power. Following on from this, the book considers the scope for public action to address these earlier biases and achieve a transformation of policy priorities. ` ... a fine account of India's achievements and failures ... written throughout in a fine style ... it will be a starting-point of subsequent discussions on social life in India.' Partha Dasgupta, Times Higher Education Supplement

Salmon Day: The End of the Beginning for Global Business
Douglas Lamont Manufacturer: Capstone ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1900961199 |
Book Description
"I am impressed by Lamont's assessments of who will be the global winners and losers. Lamont holds back no punches. If you want to see the big picture, globally and technologically, read this book.""Too often, companies charge headlong into global business activities with little strategic thought, historical perpective or analysis of global trends. Douglas Lamont’s Salmon Day perspective provides these companies with necessary food for thought as they expand their global sales and investment activities, helping them to make informed choices on market entry strategy, as well as which markets to target and why." Ken Anderberg, Publisher and Editor, Atlanta International Magazine
"In his new book, Douglas Lamont asks, 'Is America's number one position in the race toward globalization a permanent feature of economic reform or a cyclical result of current business conditions?' He thinks the U.S. has got it right and will thrive on globalization. He also concludes that China probably does not have it right and will suffer from globalization. I think he is wrong on both scores, but this is the most stimulating and well-informed discussion of these issues to be found anywhere. A must read for the manager who hopes to survive."
—Chalmers Johnson, President, Japan Policy Research Institute Author of MITI and the Japanese Mirocle
"All too many business people and pundits take for granted the continuous spread of the phenomena of globalization, cross-border trade and investment and new economic paradigms. They assume that the logic of American-style technology and consumerism is ineclutable. Douglas Lomant's Salmon Day shows conclusively that those who wish for this rich and rosy future have to work to make it happen. He points out where the traps are and how they can be avoided. Salmon Day is a valuable contribution because it is insightful and thought-provoking at the level of business and economic theory, while also providing the specific, hands-on, practical advice for business people so often locking in the grand theories of other consultants and experts."
—Daniel Burstein, Senior Advisor, The Blackstone Group Author of Big Dragon: The Future of China
"Douglas Lamont's book is not to be missed. Written in clear, provocative language, Salmon Day is never shy of the tough question. Lamont is certainly on target in articulating the challenges facing Japan and East Asia if they are to avoid the fate of salmon swimming upstream. His book ties together the many disparate elements that must be grasped to understand today's complex economy. This is straight talk about globalization - as it really is - and isn't. I consider it essential reading in the executive suite."

Belarus: Oil, Gas, Transit Pipelines and Russian Foreign Energy (Russian Foreign Energy Policy)
Manufacturer: GMB Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1905050348 |
Book Description
Belarus relies on Russia for about 85% of its total energy needs, while Russia needs Belarus??? oil and gas pipelines to export its supplies to Western Europe. How will energy exports from Russia and Belarus??? transit capabilities impact Western Europe if this interdependent relationship ends, either through political changes in Belarus or if Russia ends its energy subsidies to Belarus? This report looks at transit, infrastructure and investment issues and analyzes both the state of the current infrastructure, as well as the possibilities this transit opens to Western investors, particularly as the Yamal Pipeline nears completion. In addition, it looks at the current conflict between Belarus and Russian investors for control of the country??'s gas transit system and oil refineries. Part of the Russian Foreign Energy Policy Report series.

Kazakhstan: Energy Cooperation with Russia Oil, Gas and Beyond (Russian Foreign Energy Policy)
Manufacturer: GMB Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1905050410 |
Book Description
This important study explains how Russia, with its private sector and policy makers working in tandem, has exerted a significant amount of control over Kazakhstan??'s vast natural resources and its economic freedom. It looks at the way Russia and Kazakhstan agreed to divide the Caspian Sea shelf and how Kazakhstan has managed to maintain good relations with Moscow overall, despite its insistence on exporting energy resources to China and Europe directly and its hopes to export through Iran. This series of reports establishes for the first time the confluence of Russian foreign policy with the acquisition of foreign energy assets by Russian entities. Nine specific country profiles focus on the oil, gas, electricity and nuclear power industries. Each report written by an author of international standing, explains how Russian foreign energy downstream mergers and acquisitions are transpiring to consolidate the new Russian empire.
