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."

From the Paper
"India over the years has progressively opened up its economy to effectively face the new challenges and opportunities of the 21st. Century. To compete in the international markets, the Government of India (GoI) has liberalized export and import policies & licensing of technologies. It has also implemented tax reforms providing various incentives. Special Economic Zones (SEZ) policy is one of the steps India has taken to boost economic growth through forward-looking approach. SEZ is a specifically duty free enclave and is deemed to be a foreign territory for the purpose of trade operations and duties and tariffs. India has been the oldest country to introduce the concept of Export Promotion Zone (EPZ) but later on the concept was enlarged in scope with liberalization and all the EPZs were converted into SEZs with more number and volume of concessions in tariffs and duties, approvals and other non-financial concessions. The SEZ bill was passed by the parliament in 2005 and the Commerce Ministry notified the SEZ law on February 9, 2006 and the rules came into effect from February 10, 2006. The policy provides for setting up of SEZs in the public, private, joint sector and by State Governments. In addition, the GOI has decided that Offshore Banking Units will be permitted to be set up in Special Economic Zones. These banks would be virtually foreign branches of the banks but located in India. These OBUs would be exempted from CRR, SLR and would give access to SEZ units and SEZ developers finance at international rates."

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, AU$ 66.95

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.

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."

Incentives
Ethical Consequences
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."

From the Paper
"After the success of the Jebel Ali Free-trade Zone, high demand has led to the creation of further zones with equal or better benefits provided. For example, in 1990 the Dubai Internet City and the Dubai Media City were created offering an initial period of fifty tax-free years, and the extra benefit of there being no restrictions on sponsorship or partnership for the investors in the area. This, along with the advantages of the technical infrastructure, have led to a number of leading international companies such as Microsoft, McGraw-Hill and CNN moving to this zone. The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) was created later, in 2004, offering similar benefits to the previous trade-free zones, although this time aimed at financial companies. The manner in which the trade-free zone enables financial companies to gain a permanent foothold within the region is expected to strengthen the economic activities of not only the UAE, but the Middle East as a whole. In this region there are also no restraints as to how long the companies can remain under the tax benefits available, making investment in this area highly lucrative for international financial companies.

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.

Chapter 2: The Study
From the Paper
"The Jebel Ali port has doubled in size and a new international airport constructed. Dubai launched its stock market two years ago and is stated to be one of the "telling signs of Dubai's long-term goal of positioning itself as the central economic hubs between London and Singapore." (Zacks, 2007) Zack relates that the true "...genius of Dubai" is its beginnings as one of the Arabian Gulf states with the least resource base as the oil reserves of the 1960s were modest however, presently only approximately 5% of the GDP in Dubai is oil compared to over 50% in 1980. Dubai has five million tourists annually and has an economy growing by approximately 16 percent annually. Approximately sixty percent of the 1.4 million population in Dubai are guest workers from South Asia who earn approximately, "two to three times the average income in their home countries...growing by four percent every year." (Zacks, 2007) "

Women Overseas in Combat Zones, 2006.
This paper analyzes the subject of women overseas for the American military in combat areas.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 6 sources, AU$ 90.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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."

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.
A review of the "Journal of Special Education" article, "Special Thinking in Special Settings: A Qualitative Study of Expert Special Educators," written by L.M. Stough and D.J. Palmer.

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."

The 1947 Partition of India, 2005.

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."
