Abstract
The process of globalization has gathered momentum, mainly due to the rapid increase in cross-border capital flows stimulated by trade liberalization and rapid diffusion of IT. The IMF spearheaded the issue of freer capital mobility or capital account convertibility in order to spread the benefits of globalization to developing economies. However, a spate of currency crises resulting in sudden capital flow reversals plunged countries that had achieved miracle growth rates with open capital accounts into economic turmoil. This paper reviews the up-to-date performance of India on this front. It analyzes the pre-conditions suggested by Tarapore Committee on full capital account convertibility in India in view of the empirical evidence on each of them. On the basis of these findings, the paper arrives at the extent of preparedness India has achieved towards full capital account convertibility.
The paper includes many graphs and tables.

From the Paper
"Generally, it is argued that full capital account convertibility is beneficial for the economy but several caveats had to be put after learning lessons from the Asian Currency Crisis of 1997. The general belief before the crisis had been that CAC and complete financial openness ensure efficient allocation of global resources, promote higher growth and discipline the domestic macroeconomic policies. The countries that had capital controls in place escaped the contagion of the crisis, which revealed that Capital controls can be effective".

Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World., 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses that the term 'Indian giver' has come to be a synonym for someone who gives something, only to take it back. The paper further explains that it was the Indians who were forced to give to the Europeans--their knowledge about farming and fishing in the Americas and ultimately their land. The paper discusses that in Jack Weatherford's book, "Indian Givers: How the Indians of the Americas Transformed the World," the exchange between Europeans and Native Americans was an unequal one, with Europeans taking of the positive benefits of the New World, while the Indians were doing all of the giving. The paper concludes that unwittingly, the Indians found themselves the recipient of the evils of European civilization, like slavery, and a disrespectful attitude to the land.
From the Paper
"According to Weatherford, the early post-Columbian contact of the Europeans with the native populace actually enabled the Industrial Revolution to change Europe, and ultimately the world. "Had Europe and America not come together through Columbus or some other connection, the industrial revolution would never have happened in the way we know it," because Europeans would never have gained access to the metals of the New World, or to Indian mines (Weatherford 57). This contact also generated the money economy of Europe and fueled a shift to a European economy based upon real, hard, convertible currency. Metal-based currency also was critical in fueling industrialism and world trade. By beginning the book with tales of South American encounters with Europe, which were particularly brutal and unequal from the beginning of the Indian-European relationship, Weatherford initiates a tragic tone, explaining how enslaved South American Indians mining gold and silver in Potosi supplied the precious metals for most of the European coins that generated wealth for the Old World at the expense of the liberty of the New World."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in India, various reforms, as required by the WTO, were made to remove all barriers in the agricultural sector. The purpose of this move was to strengthen and develop agricultural markets in private and cooperative sectors, to expand futures trading to cover all agricultural products and to use information technology to provide market-led extension services to farmers. The author points out that India has the ability to cultivate superior knowledge through intensive R&D efforts and the expertise in applying the knowledge to commercially viable technologies in software sector, one of the major success stories. The paper relates that the cost benefits associated with manufacturing in India has positioned India as a preferred destination for manufacturing and sourcing for global markets. It explains that India is becoming a production base and an export hub for diverse goods from agricultural products to automobile components to high-end services.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the role Foreign Direct Investment has played within the Indian economy. It traces FDI's history in India as well as the socio-economic and geo-political factors which have led to the inflow of FDI. The paper studies the success and failures within industry- specific areas such as power, telecom, IT and BPO. It also deals with India?s struggle through policies of protectionism and repudiation to large scale reforms, divestments and privatization. The research is somewhat critical of the use of FDI but looks at all aspects of FDI and its role within the Indian economy.

From the Paper
"Various other policies have been laid out since and have been put into effect as an attempt on the part of the Indian government to firmly safeguard MNE ?s business interests and promote a competitive environment. Since 1991, India has received a number of delegations of potential foreign investors and the most recent one which is worth mentioning is Mr Bill Clinton?s delegation to India which has literally brought about huge FII (Foreign Institutional Investments) upto an estimated $4 dollars within a week. The US has also provided MNE ?s to borrow from the EXIM and World banks to further invest in India upto the tune of $750 Million. An indicator of the changed Indian environment is the fact that two giants that left the country following restrictions placed on them under FERA, IBM and Coca-Cola, have both recently come back. IBM has set up a joint venture with the TATA group of companies and Coca-Cola has taken over the local soft drink maker manufacturer, Parle."

Globalization in India, 2002.
An overview of the impact of globalization on the Indian economy and politics.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will take a close look at the process of globalization and the effects it is having on the Indian economy. It will show that the effects to date have been bitter-sweet. On the one hand, the Indian economy is getting some much needed foreign investment, its traditionally pampered industries are being exposed to a healthy degree of competition, and the overly regulated and efficient administration of the country is being forced to revamp and increase its accountability and transparency. On the other hand, poverty inequality is increasing, which is a major blow given the country's already high degrees of abject poverty. It can also be argued that the country's democracy is being tested to the limit.

Abstract
This paper examines the economic issues and instabilities of India due to the country's irrational economic policies, overwhelming military expenditures and its growing computer industry. It looks at how the scenery of Indian economy has been strongly characterized by state?s interventions since the 1991 crisis and how, since then, India has hypothetically lived a dynamic and active process of liberalization of its own economy that consented the country, in the last few years, to delineate its enormous potentials. It shows how the traditional sectors of the economy are agricultural and manufacture and how the latter is favored by the numerous natural resources and by the low costs of labor.
From the Paper
"Seventy percent of the Indians live in rural areas. When it is talked about cutting rural development and services, it means that most of the Indians will suffer. ?The finance minister failed to tax the rich and took the easy option of borrowing, raising that target by almost 40%?(Bidwai, 2). The outcome was a raise in the prices of wheat and rice distributed to the officially poor to cut the dept owed to the IMF. On the other side though, the finance minister, had cut taxes in export profits, and electronic equipments to the already thriving entertainment, and information technology industry. Not to mention the increase of military expenditures by 28.8 percent, exceeding the total expenditure on primary education, health care and social welfare. India, does not have a middle class; the new graduates start with salaries as high as $120,000 a year. Such income is spent in luxury goods, while it would be of great help in promoting some private investments for the well being of the rest of the population."

Abstract
The paper explains that Jack Weatherford began to examine the history of the Native American as he discovered that many agricultural products would not have been produced in farming without the knowledge that Indians gave those in the new world. The paper describes how Weatherford further stipulates that it is through these advances in agriculture that the United States has remained a strong contender in the global market ,and that without the influences of the Native Americans on the early settlers those new to America would not have survived. The paper analyzes how, through his work, "Indian Givers: How Indians of the Americas Transformed the World", Volume I, Weatherford brings an insight to a people that most individuals have been negligent in understanding. The paper concludes that it is Weatherford's purpose to demonstrate that Native Americans have been a misrepresented and forgotten people when the history of North America is discussed.

Abstract
This paper explores and details North American Indian life and culture as portrayed in Donald Hughes' book "North American Indian Ecology." This paper discusses the land issues facing the North American Indian tribes including overgrazing, erosion and assessments of appropriate land usage. The writer of this paper finds Hughes' book to be straightforward and concise in clarifying the characteristics of Indian life such as hunting, food growing and rituals.
From the Paper
"Tribes are having to mediate the disparate demands of their members and the industrial mindset of the BIA to balance forest use for economic need and preservation for cultural need. Tribes face many of the same problems as non-Native communities held hostage by the timber industry. Replanting has not always kept pace with harvesting on public or trust lands. The push to harvest old-growth timber is constrained by federal mandates to protect endangered species habitats, putting people out of work. Few local communities gain the "value-added" benefits of processing their own timber especially jobs and new businesses and when they do the environmental impact of mill sites has to be factored into any cost-benefit analysis."

American Indian Boarding Schools, 2004.
This paper discusses the history of the American Indian boarding schools and their influence in developing ?pan-Indianism?, which connected individuals from different tribes.

Abstract
This paper explains that the "Friends of the American Indians" believed that education was the only answer to the "Indian problem" to assimilate Native Americans into Euro-American society. The author points out that, whereas, the mission schools were traditionally located on the reservations, the ?retraining? process meant that the government-influenced boarding schools were located off of the reservations, usually many miles away from families, so that many children were not able to see their families for years at a time. The paper relates that, although the tribal traditionalists strongly were opposed to families sending their children to distant schools to learn the "white man's" ways, grinding poverty and the overwhelming hopelessness of reservation life caused many Indian parents to consider the possibility of sending their children to find a more prosperous life.
From the Paper
"Many times the child was not told ahead of time that they would be leaving home to attend the boarding school. This resulted in a child resisting or fleeing home and hiding in the woods or with sympathetic relatives. The child might also runaway upon reaching the boarding school. One student?s account is recorded at the Clark Historical Library (1999). He remembered that on the day that he left, his mother pack his lunch, simply handed it to him, and sent him off to a day school he was attending. When he arrived at the school, he was then told that he was to leave immediately. He and several other children were told to get into a truck prepared with a wire cage. The cage was to keep them from fleeing, and they were then driven to the nearest railroad station."

?House Made of Dawn? and ?Indian Killer?, 2002.
An analysis of two novels, ?House Made of Dawn? by N. Scott Momaday and ?Indian Killer? by Sherman Alexe, both of which bring to light the plight of the Red Indians.
1,214 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows how the works of both Alexe?s and Momaday commonly highlight Red Indians, representing them as a generation of people neglected, looked down, oppressed and severely under represented in nearly all spheres of an average American life. It examines how the authors, through their characters, portray the lack of understanding present in the American society for the Red Indians and the anger prevalent amongst the Red Indians. Both novels have awakened the literary world on the existence of a culture that had always been there for possibly thousands of years, but only through an occasional perspective from an anthropologist and or a historian.
From the Paper
"The depiction of other characters, such as Francisco and Reverend Tosamah too is suggestive of the evident and prevailing diversity on and about the Indian people and their culture. The first is both a staunch believer of the Catholic faith, and a medicine man for the tribal, and the second is the modern age preacher living in Los Angeles preaching the Native Indians on the Word of God and Christianity. Yet, the most important character is Abel is given the assignment of eliminating the growing difference between the Indian reservations where he and his ancestors grew up, and the city, which has trapped him, but all in vain. (Pinkmonkey, 2002)"

Abstract
This paper describes and critiques the research study, "Gender, Affect and Upward Influence: An Indian Study", hypothesizing that in Indian mixed-sex workforce groups, interactions between males and females continue to be dominated by attitudes that women hold a lower social status than men. The paper explains that study examines the usage of upward influence (UI) in the workplace environment and contradicts previous studies that indicate little or no difference in UI strategies between males and females in the workplace. The paper also explains that the study uses a combination of survey methodology to prove eight separate hypotheses and includes interviews.

From the Paper
"Gender will become an increasingly important issue in the Indian business world, as businesses continue to hire greater numbers of women to fill the labor void created by an expanding market. This research study hypothesizes that in mixed-sex workforce groups, interactions between males and females continue to be dominated by attitudes that women hold a lower social status than men. The study examines the usage of upward influence (UI) in the workplace environment (Asha, Mahfooz, & Himanshu, 2006). This study contradicted previous studies that indicated little or no difference in UI strategies between males and females in the workplace."

"Indian Killer" and "A House Made of Dawn", 2002.
This paper reviews two novels, both related to Indian Society in the U.S.A. --"Indian Killer", by Sherman Alexie and "A House Made of Dawn", by N. Scott Momaday.

Abstract
The writer compares and contrasts the works of these two writers whose novels both focus on the issues of cultural ties in a sub-culture that is dominated and oppressed by the white majority. The paper looks first at Sherman Alexie's novel where the main character John is caught between the two cultures, his Indian background by birth and his adopted white family. The paper then continues with a review of N. Scott Momaday's book, set in post-war America and analyzes the characters development as he struggles between the world he once valued and the white world.
From the Paper
"In Alexie's murder story, a serial killer is operating in Seattle and leaving behind scalped corpses decorated with owl feathers. This leads to a good deal of anti-Indian rhetoric and some street violence, both white against Indian and Indian against white. The killer is John Smith, an Indian without a tribe, which alone sets him apart from both groups. His name is clearly an ironic reference to the white captain famous for the story of Pocahantas. John is caught between the two cultures, for while he is Indian by birth, he is Adopted by a white couple. He rapidly slips into a delusional fantasy life in which he is the Native American hero able to right all the wrongs inflicted on Native Americans by European settlers and all those who followed."

Child Welfare among the Pacific Northwest Indians, 2008.
A discussion of how understanding the child-rearing practices of the Pacific Northwest Indians and Alaskan Native Indians is important in providing the best welfare service to their children.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses cultural competence within the context of the Pacific Northwest Indians and the Alaskan Native American. The paper describes family and community approaches to child welfare practice and also looks at social and (to a lesser extent) racial constructs in these societies. Finally, the paper at various times touches upon the lessons that a careful study of Pacific Northwest culture can offer to a child welfare agent eager to do the right thing.
From the Paper
"About the Coeur d'Alene tribe somewhat less is known but it is known that kinship was bilaterally based and that the same terms were used to address a cousin from the mother's side of the family as from the father's side of the family (Frey, n.d.). Whether or not this sort of practice is still in place is hard to determine (the evidence is scant) but, to the extent that any members of the Coeur d'Alene still cling to the "old ways", it is advisable that child welfare representatives respect the fact that Coeur d'Alene families are extended and close-knit and that a child's well-being is everyone's concern."
