Emerging Market: Southern Corporation
Traditionally, foreign direct investment has primarily flowed between developed country markets and also from them to the countries of the Global South. However, with rapid economic growth and structural transformation, in some southern countries it is now increasingly flowing south–south and south–north. The logic of these flows is sometimes different from the more traditional one as they are often brand and knowledge seeking, and the fact that …
The European Response to Chinese Outbound Foreign Direct Investment: Introducing a Dynamic Analytical Framework
Since the turn of the 21st century, the emergence of Chinese outbound investment has been one of the most prominent features of globalization. Its trajectory has been notable both for its speed and scale and for its global dispersion. Since the early 2000s, Chinese outbound investment has grown rapidly from a very low base that predominately involved South–South flows, expanding into the global North. The idiosyncratic nature of Chinese investmen…

War and Famine Around the Indian Ocean During the Second World War
This paper attempts to understand how the interaction of natural disasters and human behaviour during wartime led to famines in three regions under imperial control around the Indian Ocean. The socio-economic structure of these regions had been increasingly differentiated over the period of imperial rule, with large proportions of their populations relying on agricultural labour for their subsistence. Before the war, food crises in each of the re…
Reassessing the risk conditions for political instability in the light of the Arab Spring
In today’s globalized world, multinational firms contend with a diverse set of risk factors in their worldwide operations. The recent regime changes in northern African countries, also called the Arab Spring, have highlighted that political instability is one of these factors. As researchers and existing indices of political instability largely failed to predict those developments, firms had not incorporated them into their risk calculations and …

Caste, inequality and the nation-state: The impact of reservation policies in India, c. 1950–2000
Since Independence, a significant question for India has been how to manage the relationship between socio-ritual status—caste—and inequality. Initially concern in this context focused on the Untou

Teenage Births and Final Adult Height of Mothers in India, 1998–1999
This paper investigates the statistical association between teenage births and the physical growth path of these mothers. It draws on data on the height of ever-married women aged 15–49 and their birth histories collected in India’s National Family Health Survey in 1998–99, and shows that there was a negative relationship between final adult height of women and the number of births they had as teenagers. Using multiple regression analysis, it is …

Long-Term Change in Indian Health
I There is a paucity of comprehensive and systematic evidence of long-term changes in Indian health. Estimates of long-term change in death rates for the entire population do exist, but not for specific socio-economic groups within the popu- lation.r Neither is there adequate evidence on the incidence of disease and on nutritional intake for these various socio-economic groups. There do exist, how- ever, anthropometric data on adult height and we…
Bad Language: The Role of English, Persian and other Esoteric Tongues in the Dismissal of Sir Edward Colebrooke as Resident of Delhi in 1829
In 1829, at the height of Lord William Bentinck's regime of reform, a keen young civil servant in north India took on one of the last of the Company's nabobs and won. It was a clash of a new style of Haileybury civilian with an old Company servant which remarkably prefigured the personal and philosophical dynamics of the Anglicist-Orientalist education debate a few years later. Sir Edward Colebrooke, Bt, was Resident of Delhi, 67 years old and ne…

Government Famine Relief in Bengal, 1943
An estimated seven and a half million people died of starvation and related diseases in China, Vietnam, and India during the last half of the Second World War. This death toll reflected the severity with which the poor were affected by the combination of natural disaster, military imperative, political conflict, economic dislocation, and corruption that caused these famines. But famine mortality is also a function of the effectiveness of the reli…

The Illusion of Security: The Background to Muslim Separatism in the United Provinces
One of the most intriguing questions in the modern history of North India is why the Muslims of the United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh, and referred to hereafter as U.P.; see Map 1) supported the demand for Pakistan when it was obvious that if they were successful they would have either to remain in a Hindu dominated India, or suffer the upheaval of migration. In recent years Paul Brass and Francis Robinson have debated the general question of M…

The role of the individual administrator in famine relief: Three case studies
A series of hypotheses on the role of the individual administrator in famine relief are proposed and three are examined with respect to case studies of famines in India (1896 and 1906-1907), Uganda (1908) and Lombok (1940). While the evidence is not conclusive, the focus upon the role of the individual administrator offers additional insights into the compexities of official response to famines

The last major bastions of dynastic rule exist among the Muslim states of the Middle East. In the last thirty years, as they have emerged from under the 'protective' umbrella of European domination, the rulers of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States have attempted to maintain their personal control while coping with problems, on the one hand of unstable external conditions, and on the other of the pursuit of economic and administrative moderni…
