In the last 10 years the world's leading economic powers have driven important changes in international policy on illicit drug trafficking. They have set up and financed semi-formal or informal transnational groups to proactively implement policy on the ground. This is a reaction to the bureaucratic, formal mechanisms of the United Nations and its agencies, where policy is diluted by the need for consensus among 53 member states, plus various regional groupings of other countries. The new groups take a more integrated approach to the problem by going beyond trafficking into countering money laundering and controlling the sale of precursor chemicals, which criminal gangs use to synthesize drugs earlier in the supply chain to reduce the bulk of trafficked materials. The established link b...

This paper contributes to literature by extending the analysis on efficiency assessment of commercial banks across Pakistan for the years from 2001 to 2006 by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The average efficiency scores of banks across Pakistan appear to be low. Foreign banks tend to perform better than those of the local banks in Pakistan, both private and public. However, private local banks perform better than those of their counterparts in the public sector. Furthermore, findings of the research support the global advantage hypothesis where foreign banks appear to be overcoming the cross-border disadvantages. This might be surfacing out of their superior investment strategies, advanced management techniques, and better-quality services to their clients. On the contrary, Paki...

Scholars have explained the cluster development in terms of the evolution of local knowledge and collective learning. How this 'tacit' knowledge impacts small versus large firms remains largely unexplored. Pakistan is a leading textile exporter in the world. This paper profiles the socio-economy of an internationally competitive textile industry cluster of SMEs in the Faisalabad region of Pakistan and presents how the agglomeration helped the small enterprises, and not so much the large textile firms, to overcome the growth constraints and supported them to compete nationally and abroad.

A New York man was arrested Wednesday on charges that he unwittingly financed a former Shelton resident's attempt to bomb Times Square on May 1 by providing unlicensed banking services. Mohammad Younis, 44, was accused in an indictment in U.S. District Court in Manhattan of engaging in hawala activities, an informal banking system which relies on wire transfers, couriers and overnight mail. He was arrested at his Long Island home. A release issued by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara of the Southern District of New York said Younis provided thousands of dollars in cash on April 10 to two individuals who traveled from Connecticut and New Jersey to meet him on Long Island at the direction of a co- conspirator in Pakistan.

The top performers on the ease of continually consult export businesses on how to make trading easier (table 9.1). In Denmark, for example, 3 main trade documents (bill of lading, commercial invoice and customs declaration) suffice to cover most trade transactions. And these are transmitted online. Traders can begin the clearance process before goods arrive at the port. Because risk-based inspections apply, only about 2% of cargo is physically inspected. It takes only 5 days for goods to leave the factory, clear customs and be on a vessel heading to its destination. Botswana licensed more customs brokers, spurring competition and leading to lower customs brokerage fees. Liberia cut the customs administrative fee from 3% of the cargo value to 1.5%. Kenya extended p...

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...
