John Maynard Keynes is the great British economist of the twentieth century whose hugely influential work The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money is undoubtedly the century s most important book on economics--strongly influencing economic theory and practice, particularly with regard to the role of government in stimulating and regulating a nation’s economic life. Keynes’s work has undergone significant revaluation in recent years, and "Keynesian" views which have been widely defended for so long are now perceived as at odds with Keynes’s own thinking. Recent sch

Former American President Bill Clinton referred to Kashmir as the most dangerous place on earth. In 1999 nuclear-armed powers India and Pakistan fought a war over Kashmir, and again in 2002 they came close to another. The Kashmir dispute represents one of the world s oldest and most intractable conflicts, having befuddled policymakers since the Partition of the subcontinent in 1947. Author Arvin Bahl attempts to analyze this conflict in the context of international relations theory, drawing on a variety of sources, including interviews with leading figures of the Indian and Pakistani establish

Salman Rushdie (1947- ) has emerged over the years as one of the most controversial figures of our times who excites contrary feelings. But whether admired or criticized, the fact remains that Rushdie, with his commitment to struggle for freedom of expression, for speech to the silenced, for power to the disempowered, is a writer who cannot be ignored. One of the major preoccupations of Rushdie’s art is the issue of migrant identity. Many of his characters are migrants drifting from shore to shore in search of some ’imaginary homeland’, and obviously the author identifies him

Margaret Eleanor Atwood is a versatile artist in the Canadian literature. This book is an assessment of Atwoods belief about the condition of women, her portrayal of women and their status in Canadian patriarchal society. She has not overestimated the problems of women but holds a mirror to actual social status of women through her female characters who are true to life. She pleads for a healthy, harmonious and balanced man-woman relationship in which two sexes are viewed as complementary, not as a battle of sexes or a winning or losing game. The study of Atwoods novels creates an awareness th

New ideas, new models of communications and newer perspectives through which communication has been studied, applied, or practiced, have evolved and changed overtime. But they all exist in juxtaposition so as to present an integrated scenario of communications per se in 2000 decades. In the book, seven salient perspectives are presented--all intertwined as a Communication Perspective. A few Communication scenarios are highlighted to address the contextual significance of the seven perspectives. We foresee that the seven perspectives from which we have analyzed communications per se may underg
