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.

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."

Law and Economics and Zoning, 2006.

Abstract
This paper examines the economic perception of zoning as somehow infringing on the rights of property owners and indirectly interfering with the free market. It explains that some researchers disagree with this perception and say that the primary criticisms directed towards zoning are that zoning is unfair to some property owners to a greater degree than others and therefore inherently biased, and that zoning adds unnecessary and often excessive transaction costs that in effect are economic externals. The writer notes that not having any controls on the economic development of a region would result in commercial activity being developed in or near residential neighborhoods that would negatively impact housing values of all the surrounding neighborhoods. The writer believes that zoning is in itself useful and necessary but there should be a bargaining element introduced that removes sole decisive power from the municipality to one degree or another. The writer concludes that currently there is no alternative to any zoning decision made by municipalities and this is not necessarily good either.
From the Paper
"Many economists consider zoning a response to population growth and specifically urban sprawl in that zoning can be considered a solution to these problems relative to land use issues. Zoning is essentially an extension of political control over the development process within communities. Political controls over land use manifested through zoning laws are in place in every province of Canada and, in many cases, rationalized through environmental reasons or, conversely, are used to indicate that public utilities or services do not have the ability to service additional development in a given area."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The city of Charlotte focuses consistently on the needs of the community and the ethical standards that are essential in evaluating programs and the populations that those programs affect ("City", 2006, p. 14). In some locations the economic development initiatives that have been attempted through the creation of enterprise zones have not been affective because of the government's willingness to bend rules regarding enterprise zone policies and support wealthy business owners. Yet, in North Carolina this issue was alleviated with the changes in the policies associated with enterprise zones in 1999. It is for this reason that it is evident that the inclusion of MWBDE businesses within enterprise zones in North Carolina would be handled with the utmost ethical considerations, leading to a successful partnership between enterprise zones and the disadvantaged businesses in the zone areas."

"Analytical Comparison of China's Newest Economic Regions:
Special Economic Zones, Open Cities, and Open Coastal Areas
Introduction
In 1978, the People's Republic of China took the first steps on a long path that would switch the world's largest nation operating under a Communist system of government to the world's largest nation attempting to operate as a new economic concept -- a socialist marketing economy. Since then, China's economy has truly modernized and embraced many of the concepts of economic geography, including creating a societal infrastructure that accepts capitalism. The reform process has affected all sectors of the economy (Roberts & Clifford, 1997, 54).
Looking back at the changes occurring over the last 17 years ..."

Special Needs for Special Children, 2006.
A look at some of the problems and obstacles educators must deal with when educating special needs children.
1,356 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses some of the measures that must be implemented in order to include special needs children in general education classrooms, as well as some of the dilemmas educators face in trying to close the educational gap between special needs children and children without special needs.
From the Paper
"The President and the First Lady were adamant about their program "No Child Left Behind." While the majority of Americans seem to believe that this means minority or inner city children who simply are not interested or frustrated in learning, we need to use the emphasis of NO CHILD to include the thousands of children with special needs. We need to examine how best to help these children, regardless of their needs, and whether the education we provide will help integrate them into society after school. Frankly, the idea of "Seaparate but Equal" did not work for African Americans, years ago. It should not necessarily be the educational law of the land."

What's So Special about Special Education?, 2002.
An analysis of the topic of inclusion which requires educational frameworks in the United States to include children with disabilities into their systems

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of full inclusion, which calls for integration of students with disabilities to the regular classroom/education system in the United States. Specifically, it provides arguments in favor of using full inclusion in the classroom and answers the question 'What's so special about special education?' It examines what children - both disabled and non-disabled - can learn from educational experiences with their peers and that an inclusion of these children in the classroom benefits everyone, from the teachers, to the students, to the parents.
From the Paper
"Aiding full inclusion in the classroom is the development of specialized assertive devices for disabled students. Many of these devices were developed specifically for use in the classroom environment. There are devices for reading Braille, typing while the student dictates into the machine, and speaking computers that translate text into spoken words. There are also software programs that "help people with learning disabilities read and write more efficiently and productively" (Steele-Carlin). The devices help disabled students assimilate into the classroom, and keep up with their classmates in written and oral assignments. Parents may provide some devices, while others may be provided by the school district. As more of these devices become available, it should be markedly easier for disabled students to learn and participate in the classroom."

The Rise of Export Zones, 2006.
A discussion regarding the rise of Export Processing Zones and the affect that it has on economic globalization.

Abstract
This paper reviews the rise of Export Processing Zones (EPZ) in the developing world as an important and widespread aspect of the current trend of economic globalization. This economic globalisation is bringing immense wealth to some multinational companies, also known as transnational corporations or TNCs. However what impact do these EPZs have on their host countries? Do they contribute to, or hinder, development in the developing world? In this paper it will be argued that in the big picture, the effects of EPZ's are negative. According to the paper, while they may appear to contribute to a short-term economic boom, they have insidious bad effects that are long term.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Economic time is the universal expression for markets, products or organizations that explains the speed by which economic value grows and decays. This paper compares the different types of economic time zones that companies may have. It also describes required management strategies and leadership characteristics needed to compete in the market by emphasizing renewal of products, services or organizations.
Outline:
Introduction
Standard-Cycle Economic Time
Fast-Cycle Economic Time
Slow-Cycle Economic Time
Transforming Economic Time
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are 3 main economic time zones: standard-cycle, fast cycle and slow cycle. They are also used to define characteristics of competition of an industry. Managers should be aware of which type of economic time zones their organizations have, so that they can take required actions to create value sustainability and profitability as long as possible. Because convergence is an unavoidable period for a new product no matter how slow it occurs. It can be slowed down but it is impossible to stop. Renewal of products, services or organization is a crucial matter to sustain value. Another critical point is the alignment. Alignment means that customer needs or requests should be matched with the goal of organization. Otherwise, all the effort might be vain. Strong alignment should be one of the basic goals of organizations."

Women Overseas in Combat Zones, 2006.
This paper analyzes the subject of women overseas for the American military in combat areas.

Abstract
In this essay, the writer looks at the issue of women serving in military combat units. The writer discusses that a glance at American history shows that on the whole the idea of women serving overseas in combat zones was not a generally approved of notion. The writer points out, however, that women have served successfully in combat units in recent conflicts.
From the Paper
"For most of American history, the idea of women serving overseas in combat zones had been rejected nearly unanimously by the American public and the American military. Men didn't think women should fight, and most women were in agreement, due to inherently conservative social and moral views on the role of women in society. Historically, the appropriateness and wisdom of women serving in combat has been an issue of considerable controversy for many years, but they have served with great distinction in recent conflicts, and support for unrestricted roles for women in combat units is increasing."

Strikes on the Air Zones, 2002.
This paper takes a look at labor disputes in connection with air travel.

»

Abstract
This paper addresses such questions as to why there were air strikes in 2001, how the strikes were settled and why President Bush became involved with the air strikes.
From the Paper
"Almost every year the threat of airline strikes seem to happen. Approximately 97 percent of airline labor disputes will be solved without them going on strike. The airlines do not have good public relations. ?In fact, the industry?s very structure and the disagreement between labor and management about who runs the enterprise create persistent tensions even when the employees own the airline? (Freeman1). The pilot may believe that management is extraneous and themselves as indispensable."

Functional Specialization and Change in the City, 2003.
An examination of how specialized functional zones within the city are determined by a combination of inter-related factors.

Abstract
The ever changing nature of urban morphology of cities throughout the world are often the result of the complex inter-relationships that have evolved in both a temporal and spatial format. This paper examines how diversification, agglomeration, specialization, concentration and urbanization all complement and contradict each other in relation to the urban mosaic. It also attempts to evaluate the role of the multitude of deterministic factors that give rise to distinctive areas of specialization within the city. In particular, reference is made to the CBD, inner cities and zones of industrial development.
From the Paper
"The development of twilight zones are synonomous with the transitional zone and the inner city. Twilight zones have high levels of crime, are popular with foreign migrants and offer low-cost housing in the older parts of the city. Accessibility again is also one factor influencing their development. Many of the residents in twilight zones are working class and need to live in close proximity to their place of work. Transport costs take up a large proportion of their very low incomes and to minimize this they live close to their employment. However land values are still high and specialization in cities will be linked to bid rents."

Special Education, 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses the "Journal of Special Education" article, "Special Thinking in Special Settings: A Qualitative Study of Expert Special Educators," written by Stough and Palmer. The paper illustrates that the identified expert teachers were fundamentally concerned about their students' performance in school, and this concern permeated how teachers perceived and responded to their students. The paper contends that concerns with student performance motivated the teachers to closely monitor student behavior and attention and to develop a hypothesis about students' states of mind. The paper explains that strategic actions the teachers took in the classroom were the product of the teachers' hypotheses, combined with frequent reflection upon their extensive knowledge of student characteristics and educational practice.
From the Paper
"Special Education is a type of education that gives hope to people with disabilities, most especially the children. There are lots of children all over the world, most especially in developing countries who are in need of Special Education. Yet, Detterman and Thompson (1997) states that effective special educational methods have yet to be developed. Further, they stressed that effective special educational methods will not be developed until; individual differences in student characteristics beyond IQ scores are recognized and understood; and educators focus on specific and realistic goals for outcome. Regarding Detterman and Thompson's opinion on how educators should be, the journal article by Laura M. Stough and Douglas J. Palmer entitled "Special Thinking in Special Settings: A Qualitative Study of Expert Special Educators," could provide an insightful discussion on the topic."
