Abstract
The paper discusses how Britain's industrial development during the 18th and 19th century would not have occurred, or would have been much curtailed, without Britain's colonial empire and particularly that of India. The paper explains that the presence of the India colony market acted in the same way that international and global markets extend trade and commercial relationships across the globe today. The paper shows how the British Empire, therefore, was more than a colonial force but an economic model that foreshadowed the rise and influence of globalization.
Outline:
Introduction
Colonial Relevance
Economic Factors
Conclusion
From the Paper
"British industrialization is an important and much debated subject today given many of the similarities between the effect it had on the economic, financial, and social constructs of the time and the current impact of globalization spearheaded by technology on these same dimensions. Understanding the core components of how Britain's colonial expansion inspired or led to its mercantilism is critical to examining the current spread of globalization and how markets are integrating diverse markets within the structure of a single economic paradigm. The relationship between colonization and British industrialization is very similar to the relationship between globalization and the information and technology revolution within the contemporary economy."

Abstract
This paper explains that the GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services) defines four modes for trading in the health care industry: (1) Cross-Border Trade in which trading takes place from one country to another, (2) Consumption Abroad in which the medical services are used abroad by the consumers, also called 'medical tourism', (3) Commercial Presence in which a service supplier crosses the borders to establish and provide heath services, such as hospitals, clinics and nursing homes, in other countries and (4) Movement of Natural Persons in which health personnel such as doctors, technicians and administers cross country borders. The author points out that, in the past, the bulk of healthcare infrastructure in India has been provided by the public sector, but the large-scale entrance of Third Party Administrators (TPAs), corporate hospitals and information technology are creating an organized delivery system of healthcare facilities. The paper stresses that India is ready for large-scale global trade in medical services to augment the domestic tele-medicine network in all areas and to integrate the domestic facilities with the global tele-medicine network. Many graphs and tables.

Evolution of a Mixed Healthcare Model in India
From the Paper
"In India, approximately 60% of the total health expenditure comes from self-paid category as against Government's contribution of 25-30%, while contributions from insurance companies are negligible. However, opening up of the insurance sector to private players will make healthcare affordable to a large number of people. Currently, in India only 0.2% of the total population is covered under Mediclaim, whereas in developed nations like USA, about 75% of the total population is covered under such insurance schemes. One reason could be the lack of awareness and marketing. Moreover, agencies like GIC take 6 months to process claims and to reimburse customers after they have paid out of their own pockets."

"Stated to be a good measure of devolvement was an increase in proactivity in personnel function in the past five years and in both the Indian and British interviews relating to involvement another measure was revealed stating to be "continuous feedback from line managers." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002) It is held that this is "an important measure of devolvement as it helps to evaluate whether things are working according to plans or not, and what changes will be required in the future." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002) An expectations that such type examinations might reveal "the extent to which managerial cognition of strategic HRM actually relate to practice. Similarly, the influence of possible new dimensions of national culture, as suggested by both Indian and British managers' viewpoint should be examined. The thinking of personnel specialists and different levels of employees from other sectors, regarding their function, should also be examined." (Budhwar and Sparrow, 2002)"

This paper analyzes the postal market in India and the observed trends and analyzes the need to regulate them in order to ensure a certain level of universal service, as well as promote fair competition in the courier industry in the country. The paper also formulates a concrete proposal for the same, looking at the regulatory regime in OECD countries. Finally, the paper lays out a road map for a future courier industry in India based on sound principles of competition.
From the Paper
"Established in 1854, the Postal Department is one of the oldest departmentally run public sector undertakings of GOI. Its legislative basis is the Indian Post Office Act, 1898. There are about 1.6 lakh Post Offices in the country out of which about 1.4 lakh are in rural areas. It handles more than 16 billion articles of mail per year. 2. Postal Service, which was a part of the undivided Post & Telegraph Department prior to 1.1.1985, was being cross subsidized from the surpluses of the Telegraph wing. After the separation of Telecom services, the subsidy is borne by the general budget of the Central Government. 3. The de jure legal monopoly of the Department, which still continues, has been eroded on the ground by a large number of private couriers who have taken away a good proportion of the high-revenue yielding traffic from the state owned monopoly operator, the India Post. 4. On the analogy of reforms in Telecom and Electricity sectors, determination of postal tariffs needs to be distanced from the Government (Tariff deciding power needs to be transferred from legislative control to executive control). Presently in the Department, there is no separation between the owner, the operator, and the regulator and hence there is no flexibility with the Department to take commercial decisions based on sound business principles. The couriers are operating only in the high revenue earning areas whereas India Post is providing the basic services at highly subsidized rates through out the country under its 'Universal Service Obligations'. Recognizing the de facto operation of a large number of couriers without rights and obligations imposed by law, need is being felt within and without Government Circles that the postal operations in India must be brought under a licensed regime for proper regulation of their activities. For the purpose of providing level playing field in Postal Services in the country, there is a case for corporatization of the Department. The inefficient and financially ailing postal services all over the world have demonstrated a significant turn around after corporatization including USA, UK, Canada, France, and Malaysia etc. Some of these developments are, firstly, the regulatory & the operative functions have been separated & the latter function entrusted to a corporative entity while simultaneously establishing a regulator independent of the Govt. domain as in Netherlands; and secondly the new postal corporate entities are expected to be financially self-supporting or to generate profits without sacrificing their universal network through various reforms and adopting best operating practices and technological induction. In my proposed paper, therefore, I would like to analyze in brief the salient features of the reforms that are required to be carried out in the transport sector (which includes message conveyance too) of Postal functions, i.e. the need for establishing a Regulatory Authority & defining its role and responsibilities."

Abstract
This paper explains that the spectacular growth and development of the urban habitation over the past 16 years is just the beginning of a gigantic phase of extension. The author points out that China?s ecological problems from the speedy urbanization and industrialization process in the recent decades generate social effects, causing a great deal of harm to human health, instigating economic and welfare suffering, and harming the environment in both urban and rural areas of China. The paper relates that, because of increasing industrialization and urbanization, the majority of the Indian cities have exceedingly compact habitation that results in overcrowding, clogging, obstruction, traffic jams, air pollution, noise pollution, as well as major deficiencies of vital requirements and necessities of life

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The velocity of urbanization and industrialization was extremely slow prior to the late 1970s when contrasted with other developing states. The proportion of urban inhabitants was 11.2 in 1950, and still barely 17.9 by 1978. This low degree of urbanization had been the consequence from purposeful procedures of restraining rural-urban immigration and urban increase. Economic restructurings have since accelerated the industrialization and urbanization procedures. Large numerals of towns, as well as, cities have surfaced, at the same time as old cities are quickly increasing their managerial spheres."

British Involvement in the West Indies and India, 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses the influence of British involvement in the West Indies and India on the development of a sense of the British 'national' identity and politics over the period 1750-1860. In particular, the paper discusses the influence in the areas of material and economic wealth of Britain, Britain's social and cultural views of themselves and the 'others' they were in domination over and Britain's foreign policy and general political policy towards the West Indies and India.
From the Paper
"Finally, involvement in India, especially by the East India Company, directly influenced the notion of national identity and the politics of the period. As the East India company changed its very nature across the period, from a 'simple' trading company into an organisation which encompassed military, political and administrative roles, so did the role of the British state in India. Because the East India Company became more and more in control of the Indian subcontinent having to, successfully or not, manage administrative functions, the British crown became increasingly involved in altering the nature of the East India Company, thus 'Company' rule in India directly affected the politics of the period. It can be seen that Pitt motioned for Parliamentary reform in 1782, changing the nature of British politics, because of the influence the empire. Pitt stated that, 'some members of our Senate are at the command of a distant tyrant; that our Senators are no longer the representatives of British virtue but of the vices and pollutions of the East.' Pre-reform it had been seen that some seats of Parliament could literally be bought by foreign princes, and that educated representatives were sitting on behalf of rulers in India. The fact that Pitt's motion for Parliamentary reform exists shows the extent of the influence that India had on British high politics."

Abstract
This paper sums up the social, political, economic repercussions of the 1947 partition of British India into India and modern-day Pakistan. The paper suggests that a more conciliatory approach on behalf of the political leaders of the day might have avoided much of the subsequent bloodshed and spared both of these nations the acrimony and animosity that presently lingers.
From the Paper
"The partitioning of India has stirred a great deal of debate. This paper will wade into that debate by examining whether or not the partition of India made sense socially, politically, or economically. More specifically, this paper will argue that the 1947 partition did a great deal of harm to India - and to Pakistan - in all three regards and that a more inclusive approach involving the leaders of the day might have spared both nations the tragedies that followed. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of the Indian partitioning of 1947 that one now turns."

Clive and the East India Company, 2008.
A discussion of Sir Robert Clive's impact upon India and the East India Company.

Abstract
The paper explores the towering personality of eighteenth-century East India Company Commander Robert Clive and how his forceful personality -combined with questionable ethics - established the East India Company as the de facto ruler of North-East India. The paper also shows how Clive undermined the legitimacy of the regional Nawabs while transforming Indian society in ways that created anger and resentment among Indians. The paper then looks at how the Chinese managed to secure a degree of autonomy in contrast to the Indians.
From the Paper
"The beginning of the East India Company's century of political domination in the "crown jewel" of the British Empire dates back to the 1750s - at least according to historian Philip Lawson. Specifically, shortly after securing the corporate presidency, Robert Clive was called upon to respond to an emergency in Bengal involving the capture of Calcutta by the new Nawab, Siraj-ud-Daula. While the matter is actually rather complex, what had essentially happened is that a simmering Mogul rivalry had spilled over into British affairs. Particularly, the Nawab had imprisoned 146 Europeans - of whom 123 died in one evening in a crowded cell. Suffice it to say, the Nawab's actions and the reckless disregard for the safety and security of the Europeans sparked mass revulsion across Europe (most notably in Great Britain) and Clive became one of the two senior commanders of an expeditionary force sent from Madras to re-capture Calcutta and rescue those Europeans who had not perished; the campaign, just as one might expect, was a huge success and marked the high point in Clive's military career."

Independence for India
From the Paper
"Many of the leaders in India did not want to actively participate in World War II. History shows that Gandhi and Nehru wanted to tie any participation of their country in the war with independence for them. First, consider some facts about Mahatma Gandhi. This is explained in the article, "Mahatma Gandhi", (2006), Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's birth was in a small town called Porbander on October 1, 1869 (p. 1). He went to school in Rahkot due to the fact that his father was the prime minister of this area. Gandhi was actively involved in keeping peace between the Hindu and Muslims. One of Gandhi's problems was that he refused to see the two separate elements the Hindu and Muslims had (Mahatma Gandhi 2006). Gandhi wanted peace and independence for his country."

Abstract
The paper starts with a summary of conditions in pre-colonial India and continues through to the birth of the public health sector in 19th century England. It then discusses the effects of drought on India and the results of the great famines on both agriculture and industry, looking at the responsibility of Britain in terms of preventing disaster via prevention and aid strategies and their ultimate failure in both areas. The spread of disease, in particular cholera is explored and again, Britain's contribution in this area is discussed.
From the Paper
"The colonisation of India was, for the British, the proverbial jewel in the crown, a new land of vast resources, unsystematic government and an animal-like people who, at best, were a cheap source of labour. But as the drought of 1876 decimated the population in a famine as cruel as any the Europeans had experienced, it became apparent that the British government would need to take steps to prevent a repeat of the devastating mortality rates produced by such a phenomenon. A certain responsibility to their precious colony would have to be shown."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines how British rule has made an impact on Indian politics. Making comparison to Abdullah Hussein?s characters in ?Weary Generations?, the author suggests that British rule, in modern Indian politics, continues to be ?an unhappy marriage that still is not broken?. The second section of the paper discusses political institutions in contemporary India and their relevance, whilst the third section looks at Indian ancient civilization which the author suggests has led to a modern day philosophy of non-violence, religious tolerance. The paper concludes with a look at democracy in India as compared to that in China and Japan.
From the paper:
?The English made many external changes that led to the Indian people's desire and ability to become their own unified country. Although unification may never have happened without the influence of the British, it was the Indians themselves that eventually achieved their unity. The British could not completely unify India.?

Abstract
This paper recounts the role that Canadian pilots played in the Battle of Britain, helping the Royal Air Force achieve victory over the Luftwaffe. The paper praises their accomplishments and bravery. It illustrates how the Canadians were a major factor in Britain's victory. Canadians provided the machines, training, and pilots that won the battle for the airspace over Britain. The paper concludes that Canada gave a huge commitment to the Battle of Britain, and that without Canadian warplanes, training, and pilots, the Battle of Britain would not have turned out as an allied victory.
From the Paper
"As part of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan, there was an all-Canadian squadron in the Royal Air Force with a Canadian commanding officer. The squadron had to be made up of only new recruits because none of the other commanders wanted to part with their Canadian fliers. One hundred Canadian pilots fought in the Battle of Britain. They accounted for 130 shot down, 30 planes that were probably shot down, but never confirmed and over 70 enemy aircraft damaged. This a high score for men that were not fighting over their own country, and were kept on constant alert for 5 months.The destruction and damage to the German aircraft kept countless bombs from falling as panicking aircrews dropped their bombs early to lighten their planes escape back over the English Channel. Johnny Kent's spectacular forty-on-one dogfight best demonstrates the bravery of the Canadian pilots. He managed to dodge the attackers and shoot down one fighter before returning to a safe hanger."

Abstract
This paper looks at the extent that American Industry relies on global outsourcing. It focuses on the dependency that the software industry has on labor markets in places such as India and the effects these kinds of practices have on the local economy and society.
From the paper:
"Outsourcing is the practice of subcontracting some or all of a company?s information systems services to another firm. The approach has been around for many years, and corporations have been subcontracting work to low-cost labor areas for years, but in the past, this practice was limited to data entry job. In the 1990s, outsourcing began to grow by 15% a year, according to the Yankee Group, and the approach generated a huge amount of discussion, attention and renewed interest among business leaders in the United States and abroad. "
