Item The Dynamic Effects of SAARC: a panel analysis(Serials Publications, 2010) Kaur, Sandeep; Nanda, ParamjitItem Complementarities in Production and Trade among ASEAN Countries(Research Centre For Social Sciences, India, 2010) Kaur, SandeepThe share of India’s export to WANA (West Asia and North Africa) is 22.5 percent, followed by EU (European Union) 21.2 percent and North America 15.5 Percent, ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) 10.3 percent, South Asia 4.6 percent and Latin America 3.3 percent (Government of India, Economic survey 2010-11). As compared to other blocs (WANA, North America and EU) the share of India’s exports to ASEAN is low. Thus there is need to examine the reasons for low trade of India with ASEAN nations. In the light of this, the present paper has been undertaken to study competitiveness or complementarities in production and trade among India and ASEAN nations and to study the pattern of intra -regional trade of ASEAN nations. There is substantial range of existing complementarities between ASEAN and India. As most of the ASEAN countries are heavily dependent on imported drugs and health care equipments, therefore India could also cooperate with ASEAN in pharmaceutical and health care service sectors. India Shares Sea boundaries with three ASEAN countries namely Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand. Thus in terms of transport cost, India has benefit to trade with ASEAN. So, India should look at expanding sea transport linkages to promote trade, tourism and other economic activities.Item Export and Import Potentials of Pakistan to other SAARC Countries in Panel Data Models, 1981 -2005(Euro-American Association of Economic Development Studies, 2010) Kaur, Sandeep; Nanda, ParamjitItem Education, Human Development and Economic Growth in Punjab: A Casual Analysis(Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, 2010) Kaur, Sandeep; Nanda, ParamjitThis paper has evaluated the relative performance of 12 major districts of Punjab in terms of Human Development and Economic Growth and examined the two-way link between them during 1981-2001. Expectation of life at birth positively but non-significantly affected inter-district variations in EG. For EG induced HD, per capita NDP negatively and significantly affected interdistrict variations in literacy rate and positively and non-significantly affected inter-district variations of life expectancy. Classification of districts based on their performance on HD and EG reveals that out of 12 districts, only four districts were in the category of lopsided HD and six districts were in the category of virtuous cycle as per the indicators of HD (HDI, literacy rate and expectation of life at birth) in 2001. The results suggest that the policy should be such that HD induced growth process is strengthened for lifting the districts to the virtuous cycle category.Item Globalization of Finance: India’s Experience of Capital Flows.(Research Centre For Social Sciences, India, 2011) Nanda, Paramjit; Kaur, SandeepGlobalization of finance measured in terms of capital account liberalization has been viewed by many economists as an important component of the overall opening up of global trade and financial markets especially in recent years. It is in this context, paper seeks to analyse issue of CAC in India. Study reveals that capital account surplus is mainly accounted for by non-debt creating foreign investment inflows. Foreign investment and banking balance accounted 80 percent of surplus in capital account. All the components of capital account (except banking capital) witnessed decrease in inflows to outflows ratio during post-CAC period. Banking capital experienced rapid increase in inflows/outflows ratio due to rapid increase in NRIs deposits. Regarding impact of capital account balance on Indian economy, on the positive side, capital account balance significantly reduced inflation and external debt to GDP ratio but on the negative side failed to reduce fiscal deficit and increase in industrial production. RBI should direct more calibrated distribution of bank credit in favour of al productive sectors to increase overall investment in the country. So that capital account surplus can be managed.Item Introduction: Contextualising Eurasian conflicts and prospects of peace(Taylor and Francis, 2012) Mahapatra, D.A.[No abstract available]Item Prospects of inclusive peace, perception of players and stakes involved in post-9/11 Afghanistan(Taylor and Francis, 2012) Mahapatra, D.A.[No abstract available]Item India's Foreign Policy for south and central asia post 9/11: Embrassing strategic realism(Central University of Kerala, 2013) Kaushiki, NishthaItem India’s Trade with Central Asia with special reference to Kazakhstan in post-cold war era.

This increase is exhibiting increasing role of the republic in India’s trade. As per Indicative Trade Potential (ITP), there exists a vast scope to increase and diversify this bilateral trade. India has major potential in machinery and transport while Kazakhstan can expand the exports from its traditional sectors of mineral and metals. Potential in different products reveals the opportunity for diversify the trade in future. It would enhance the benefits for both the countries in long term.Item reinvention of Indo- japan Strategic ties: The China Factor .(2014) Kaushiki, NishthaItem Nuclear arms proliferation: Implications and response of indian Foreign Policy(Enkay Enterprises, 2014) Singh, BawaItem Public transport and urban mobility: Perception of people on services of public transport in Bathinda city, Punjab, India(ISCA, 2014) Kumar, Gaurav; Kaur Amandeep; Singh, Kiran K.Public transport as an essential part of the socio-economic and political structure of the country plays a vital role in development of modern society. Urbanization is one of the challenges in a developing country that needs planning and provisioning of adequate transport system and facilities. The availability of good road networks and affordable small private vehiclesmotivateurban and sub-urban dwellers to the use of private vehicles. Therefore, inclination of people towards the private vehicle (two and four wheelers) has been greater as compare to public transport (buses and three wheeler). Due to rapid growth in the private vehicle in the city the role of public transport in the urban mobility of people has become crucial to understand. Thus, this study is an attempt to evaluate public transport and urban mobility in Bathinda andpeople perception about quality of public transport. Apart from this the urban travel attitude and behavior of people in making choice of public transport as their means of transportation has also been studied and discussed.
