General data protection regulation
Over the last few years, digitalisation has accelerated its pace, fuelling the creation of a massive amount of data.This has resulted in a need to introduce legal mechanisms to protect the privacy and security of data being exchanged between people and organisations.However, little is known about the individuals' perspective on such mechanisms.Given the gap in the literature, this research investigated the drivers and the implications of individu…
The changing contexts of international aid
Concepts like Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD) and South – South Cooperation (SSC) have a significant impact on national strategies for international aid. This paper examines India's policy ideas and local practices to explore the contexts of the national implementation of the SDGs for global public well-being. The study approaches these issues through three avenues: the SDG-oriented…
Working in a smart home environment
Purpose The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a big impact on organisations globally, leaving organisations with no choice but to adapt to the new reality of remote work to ensure business continuity. Such an unexpected reality created the conditions for testing new applications of smart home technology whilst working from home. Given the potential implications of such applications to improve the working environment, and a lack…
India’s G20 Presidency
The turbulent unipolar world order is on the descendant, paving the way for a more representative multipolar global order. One of the early signs of this trend was the emergence of the G20 as a forum seeking to shape and strengthen the international economic and world governance architecture. Since then, the G20 along with other multilateral forums like the BRICS has played a role in consolidating the identities and interests of its Global South …
Blockchain adoption
The literature so far has been focused on technological sophistication rather than the aspects of blockchain adoption that can hinder or facilitate the use of the technology. To address this gap this paper aims to study the cognitive factors underpinning adoption decision-making moderated by user characteristics. Using a cross-sectional research design, the study recruited 506 respondents to participate and test the relationships hypothesised in …
Impact of Covid-19 on Migrant Labourers of India and China
The COVID-19 crisis has posed unprecedented economic challenges for governments across the world with certain sectors becoming more and more vulnerable to this pandemic. The plight of migrant labours in India during lockdown has shown fault lines not only in the economy but in the society too. The pandemic has worsened the condition of migrants both in India and China as it has put the severe challenges to poverty eradication programmes and incre…
China’s Role in Reducing Carbon Emissions
A great challenge for China is attempting to convince the world that its intentions and plans are genuine. One such intention is reducing carbon emissions. No one denies that modern China is one of the largest carbon emitters in the world. China has begun to feel the heat of environmental problems and is earnestly designing and rolling out policies to check the deteriorating environment. But Western media, environmentalists, and academics all que…
Blue skies over Beijing
When China launched its campaign to reduce emissions during the Asia–Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in 2014, in order to clear the haze and fog which have become permanent features of Beijing, the occurrence of a blue sky over Beijing caused the phrases ‘APEC Blue’ to storm the internet. Despite the enthusiasm, the arrangement largely concerned temporary measures and is not a substitute for a long-term plan to reduce air pollution. In…
Couples’ reproductive goals in India and their policy relevance
The extent to which couples agree with each other on fertility intentions, sex of the next child, and the intention to use family planning in future has a major role not only in determining family size but also in the process of fertility transition. The present paper investigates this question in Uttar Pradesh, India. Quantitative data from the District Level Household Survey conducted in 2002-2004 has been used in the present analysis. Our anal…
