Overall Pakistan took the challenges and opportunities of globalization with a positive and optimistic attitude as shown by its position during the WTO negotiations and its implementation of the WTO agreements. On the impact of the liberalization policies implemented in Pakistan, the country's economy, however, is still in the process of adjustment and therefore the full impact of the WTO implementation is yet to evolve--as the process follows policy changes in Pakistan and its economic/trading partners' policies. Here, Noshab discusses globalization and WTO in relation to the impact of economic policy changes in Pakistan.

With its profusion of languages, ethnic groups and regional diversities, with its unique caste system, with its contrast between information technology and industry billionaires and the nearly 300 million people who live below the poverty line, with its mixture of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy and outbreaks of savage communal violence, and with its success as a parliamentary democracy despite having 400 million people who cannot read or write, India remains a bewilderingly complex country. A powerful moral leader as well as a wily politician, Gandhi wanted Indians to be proud of their past, to wear Indian rather than foreign dress, to challenge their colonial overlords through peaceful protest and noncooperation and not through violence, and to eliminate discrimination against...

This paper applies the sequential Malmquist index to calculate multi-lateral, multi-factor productivity (MFP) indices for agriculture in 16 regions of Bangladesh from 1964 to 1992 and examines convergence amongst regions. Productivity grew at an average rate of 0.9% per annum, led by regions with high level of Green Revolution technology diffusion. The growth mainly occurred due to technological progress estimated at 1.9% per year. Overall technical efficiency declined steadily at 1.0% per year due to falling efficiency in most of the regions in later years. Both cross-section and time-series tests confirm that divergence among regions disappeared and agricultural productivity reached convergence in the long-run. Policy options to reverse declining efficiency are considered. These inclu...

Recent decades have seen momentous changes in the economic geography of the world. Political transitions and economic liberalization have brought formerly closed countries into the world economy. This sketch describes some of the forces driving change in the world economy and some of the ensuing changes in economic geography. It also challenges the understanding of the location of economic activity and of the determinants of changes in the pattern of location. There are many reasons for variation in the prosperity of countries and regions. Some factors are truly exogenous and others are a function of political and institutional history. Even as globalization causes dispersion of activity, so economic development will be in sequence, not in parallel; some countries will experience rapid ...
