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, AU$ 44.95

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.

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."

Economic Growth in India, 2002.

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 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."

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."

Modernity and Post-Colonial India, 2007.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at modernity and how architectural modernism captures the economic, cultural and political phenomena re-making India in the twenty-first century. The paper focuses on the architectural work of Joseph Allen Stein and discusses how his work encapsulates the new virility and promise of post-colonial India as it unshackled itself from generations of British rule after the end of World War II. The paper suggests that the key to India can be seen in the monuments it builds to itself.
From the Paper
"At the same time, modernist architecture survives as a political statement insofar as it also masks infelicities that Indians may not want outsiders to see. For example, the city of Bombay is a modern city organized like few others - but that modern image of looming skyscrapers and cleverly-conceived infrastructure merely papers over elements of nativism and communalism that threaten Bombay's gleaming international image (Prakash, 2006). Therefore, just as modern-day India uses impressive modernist structures to announce its arrival on the world stage, it also uses those same structures and architectural embellishments to hide from view darker national traditions and vestiges of its past it wishes to remain unseen."

From the Paper
"Introduction
When considering the type of investment appropriate for entering a foreign country (joint venture, direct investment, licensing, for example), it is critical to consider the political stability of the target nation, the demographics of the country, and the economic and legal environment. Some nations have significant restrictions on foreign direct investment while others invite the inflow of economic activity such investment brings. This research considers the environment associated with India and how best to invest in that nation.
Balance of Payments
India had a deficit of $3.6 billion in balance of payments for 1991-1992. The United States is the principal source of imports to India, while Russia was the principal destination for exports during 1990-1991..."

Secret Economics: The Economic Impact of the Vietnam War, 2002.
This paper is an analysis of the economic impact that the Vietnam War had on the American economy.

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."

Japanese Post-World War II Economic Development, 2002.
A look at the cultural advantages of Japan's post-war economic miracle.
3,650 words (approx. 14.6 pages), 16 sources, AU$ 194.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that some elements of pre-World War II Japanese culture proved to be advantages to the processes of economic reconstruction as they took hold in the first decades after 1945. If the Japanese recovery is looked at in terms of class and economy only, the Japanese defeat in World War II signaled a complete break from the imperial ethos, which had dominated national culture and contributed to practically every aspect of Japanese cultural and economic life. When Japanese post-war economic development is explored in ways which include cultural advantages, however, the so-called "miracle" of reconstruction begins to seem somewhat more predictable.
