Private life insurance companies in India were nationalized in 1956 when they were taken over by the Life Insurance Corp, a government-owned business. Privatization generated considerable interest from non-Indian insurance companies that wanted to invest. However, the foreign direct-investment (FDI) policy of India limits the amount of equity that a foreign investor can own in an Indian insurance company to 26% without having to obtain any other approvals from the Indian government. Private insurance companies in India are relatively new and most have been incurring losses. Since the Indian promoters necessarily hold, in the early years, at least 74% in any joint-venture insurance company with a foreign partner the Indian promoters have been absorbing the larger portion of these losses....

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...

In this Article I examine “medical tourism”—the travel of patients who are residents of one country to another country for medical treatment—which is fast becoming a multi-billion dollar industry. To date, the primary U.S. medical tourists appear to have been uninsured or underinsured Americans seeking substantial cost savings by traveling to less developed countries for care. More recently, state governments, self-insured firms, Fortune 500 companies, and domestic insurers have begun attempts to get their insured populations to use medical tourism as well by requiring it or giving incentives for its use (what I call “insurer-prompted medical tourism”). There is, however, a dark side to the growth of this industry. In this Article I set out...

Insurance markets have changed radically and deeply in the last 20 years. Deregulation, globalization of insurance institutions, intensified competition, electronic commerce, bancassurance, and the emergence of new risks are among the challenges faced by insurance markets. These developing trends pose both global and local challenges for insurance firms. The purpose of this article is to analyze the effect of globalization on international insurance markets. The focus is to highlight the global similarities of national insurance markets and the local contingencies that create differences among markets.

President Barack Obama on Friday proposed tax credits and training programs to help thousands of U.S. service members returning from war in Iraq and Afghanistan find jobs in the shaky economy at home. The president announced his proposals just hours after a new report showed the nationwide unemployment rate is still over 9 percent. For some military veterans, the economic outlook is even more dismal. The White House said 1 million military veterans are unemployed. Among those who joined the military after the Sept. 11 attacks, the unemployment rate was 13.3 percent as of June. The president said many of those veterans bring skills from the wars that can be applied in the civilian workforce. The president's proposals were part of his efforts to return to a focus on jobs after spending we...
