From the Paper
"his research paper summarizes and compares the historical development of the Canadian and Indian economies during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries (through the 1970s) and discusses the major factors which facilitated or impeded progress.
In the 20th century Canada emerged as a major, sophisticated and balanced industrial economy with high per capita income. The foundations of growth were laid in previous centuries. Canada's precarious early settlement survived due to assistance from its rival mercantilist mother countries, France, and, after 1763, Great Britain. Its ties to Britain's dynamically expanding domestic and foreign trade economy resulting from the commercial revolution of the 18th century and the industrial revolution of the 19th century enabled Eastern ..."

Abstract
This paper proposes a study with the principal focus being on the macroeconomic effects on economic growth and social development in India, by spending on national defense. The time frame of the proposed study is the inclusive 30-year period 1969-1998. The paper shows that in the proposed study, national defense expenditures are to be assessed as an independent variable in a time series analysis wherein economic development and social development are dependent variables. The specific economic models and their specifications are addressed in the paper too.
From the Paper
"One of the more controversial issues in public policy analysis concerns the question of the effects of spending on defense spending on a country?s economic and social development. Proponents of high levels of defense spending claim that significant economic benefits derive from such expenditures. It is inferred that, as a consequence of economic benefits associated with spending on national defense, social benefits also accrue to the country. Opponents emphasize that any economic benefits derived from high levels of spending on national defense are short-term in character, at best, and that, over the long-term, such expenditures retard economic development. The detractors of high levels of defense spending claim further that retarded economic development, in turn, leads to retarded social development (Mintz & Stevenson, 1995)."

This is the dilemma faced by most of the developed nations of the world."

Abstract
This paper discusses possible causes for the disparity found in Kerala between economic and social development. The principle causes examined here are socialist- and communist-influenced government policies, the impact of migrant remittances, the influence of labor unions, and the overall lack of infrastructure in the economy to facilitate investment.
From the Paper
"Historians, development experts, and political scientists praise the accomplishments of the Indian state of Kerala. Once home to poor education and healthcare, Kerala now boasts literacy rates and life expectancy rates surpassing all the states of India and on par with the developed world. What Kerala lacks, however, is a developed economy able to financially sustain its population without outside assistance. Kerala has an abundant supply of educated, healthy individuals but not enough demand for skilled labor to support an industrial, self-sustaining economy. The main reasons behind the disparity between the high degree of social achievement in Kerala and the low degree of economic achievement are government policies influenced by socialist and communist ideologies, the impact of migrant remittances, the power of labor unions, and a poorly developed overall economic infrastructure."

Economic Growth in India, 2002.
An analysis of the role of human capital on economic development in India with an emphasis on the importance of education.

Abstract
This paper will take a look at the effects India's human capital has on its longer-term prospects for economic development. By looking at the importance of education and human capital within the broader process of economic development itself, it can be concluded that India's prospects are almost directly linked with its stock of human power. There is clear evidence suggesting that the country's poorest are in fact getting poorer and that the inequalities and cleavages in the country are even closer to rupturing than in the past. One of the only ways to mend this wound is through education and increasing the quality of the country's human capital.

Abstract
This comprehensive study is aimed at the major economic, political, cultural and social changes and crises that have taken place within India during the period in question and it will attempt to assess the extent to which these factors have shaped the country's economic performance. Included in this analysis will be an assessment of economic development and social change, the economic and political aspects of agricultural change, as well as political change, political structure and the functioning of government. Attention will also be directed towards the caste conflict and language differences as well as the extent to which they have had an impact on the level of economic development that India has been able to achieve and the nature of this development. The main hypothesis that will be tested in this study will be the following: while India has achieved relatively significant economic advances during recent years, especially in light of the country's status as a Third World nation, these advances have been limited.

The Economic Growth of India, 2008.
This paper analyzes the economic growth of India since 1990.
860 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, beginning in the early 1990s, India began to redirect its political and economic apparatus towards a more free-market orientation, which has resulted in a cycle of remarkable growth and expansion. The author points out that, beginning in 1991, political leaders ended the traditional License Raj economic model, which resulted in monopolistic behavior and stifled foreign direct investment. The paper relates that some of India's economic expansion has been attributed to its insistence on expanding public expenditures within the market. The author points out that India deems all public expenditure to be development related and views this type of investment as a requirement rather than a socially driven discretionary investment. The paper reports that a value added tax (VAT), other tax code adjustments and a fully convertible currency were introduced.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Initial Reforms
Market Liberalization
Current Economic Status
From the Paper
"The country's revenue expenditures have increased across some spending segments by as much as 400% between 1990 and 2004 and this spending has continued to fuel economic growth. These large spending and investment packages are achievable because of the market reforms made during 1991. While much of India's population that exceeds 1b individuals is classified as impoverished, it still represents one of the largest tax bases in the world after China. Such a large potential tax base was going relatively untouched until 1991 when the tax codes and collection apparatus procedures were also reformed."

India's Special Economic Zones (SEZ), 2007.
This paper is an economic analysis of the special economic zones (SEZ) in India.
3,785 words (approx. 15.1 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 104.95

Abstract
This paper traces the history of performance of SEZs and evaluates their contribution to India's economic growth with reference to the creation of employment opportunities, growth in exports and imports and value addition for the common people. The author assesses the justification for continuing with the SEZs in India and sets the criteria for ensuring their success in achieving the objectives for which they are created and to avoid the phenomenon, which has come to be termed as 'developmental terrorism'. The paper states that issues of availability of infrastructure, quality of infrastructure, governance issues and labor laws are the most important factors responsible for unsatisfactory working of the SEZs in India. The paper includes many tables and graphs.
Table of Contents:
Objectives of SEZ
The Constraints
From the Paper
"The mean realization ratio is only 34.84% with a standard deviation of 15.65%. The highest realization ratio has been only 59.46% in 2001 of the total approved equity investments and a minimum of 17.32% in 1992. Although the percentage realization is increasing year after year, but this is highly insufficient. Burdensome procedures contribute to discouragement of FDI. For example, registering a new firm in Australia takes 2 days, but 203 days in Haiti. Similarly, a basic bankruptcy procedure takes less than a year in Singapore, but 10 years in India."

Abstract
This paper deals with the prospects of the abolition of the current floating rate of exchange for the Canadian dollar. The pros and cons of this policy are assessed. The paper concludes that the opposition focuses on 'soft' issues such as culture or sovereignty. However, at the same time there seems to be little sound economic evidence that this would have an important impact on Canada's economy.

Political changes in South Africa since the end of apartheid. Limited movement toward democracy.
From the Paper
"South Africa, India, and Political Development
The process of political development has been theorized by Howard J. Wrarda (2000) as falling within one of several alternative developmental theories. These theories include bureaucratic-authoritarianism (BA), world systems, corporatism, political economy, state-society relations, indigenous theories of change, rational choice theory, and the new institutionalism. Wrarda (2000) believes that this assortment of political development theories emerged because of a realization that the traditional, formal-legal approach dominating the field was inadequate to explain contemporary political development paradigms. This report will consider political development in India and South Africa and characterize these states' experiences in the context of the most applicable ..."

From the Paper
"In almost half a century GATT had eight trade negotiating rounds. In the early years, the GATT trade rounds concentrated on reducing tariffs. A new issue was introduced in the Kennedy Round in the mid-sixties which brought about a GATT Anti-Dumping Agreement. The Tokyo Round during the seventies was the first major attempt to tackle non tariff trade barriers and to improve the trading system. The eighth, the Uruguay Round of 1986-94, was the latest and most extensive of all. It led to the WTO and a new set of agreements covering for the first time trade in services and intellectual property.
The success of GATT in promoting and securing the liberalization of much of world trade is universally recognized. Continual reductions in tariffs may have been the major factor in very high rates of world trade growth during the 1950s and 1960s ? around 8% a year on average. The momentum of trade liberalization helped ensure that trade growth consistently out-paced production growth throughout the GATT era, a measure of countries? increasing ability to trade with each other and to reap the benefits of trade. The rush of new members during the Uruguay Round demonstrated that the multilateral trading system was sought after by countries seeking faster development by economic and trade reform."
