With the failure of multilateralism, regional integration started becoming the reality of world in the form of FTAs and TAs. In 1990s from 50, the number of RTAs notified to the GATT / WTO has increased to 511 as of 15 January 2012. Of these 319 were enforced implying that more and more countries are joining the FTA bandwagon. Sometimes in these FTAs economic motives are mixed with political strategies. The book tries to unfold the strategic motive of US FTAs in West Asia and their culmination into MEFTA. The book also analytically calculates the welfare gains to West Asian economies by signing FTAs using GTAP Model and MENA Trade Simulation Model.

About the Book
The contribution of the Citizens of Tripura is the important part in the history of the War of Independence of Bangladesh. Without mentioning the contributions of Tripura, the history of Bangladesh is incomplete. From this awareness I started to prepare this manuscript. Mr. Nurul Haque Asim prepare the Index and minor editing of this book.
I can not claim this book as the complete document on the contribution  of Tripura’s people in War of Liberation of  Bangladesh. However, I have given my best efforts in collecting many reports, News papers, books etc., which are taken into consideration and some extracts like personal interviews taken from those who have contributed  in the Liberation War of Bangladesh. I am grateful to all of them for their sincere co-operations. I hope that many more works will come out on the subject and many books might be published in future. I believe this work will be a start in   giving acknowledgements  to   the people of Tripura.

Economics Of Household Non Market Behaviour by T Lakshmanasamy

About the Book

This book analyses the economics of household behaviour with respect to non-market activities and the household decision making processes. The household engages itself in many non-market activities, apart from the income earning market activities. These non-market activities involve many inter- and intra-household relationships among the family members and with the society. The household relations are seen as a deliberate strategy designed by the household itself either for survival or for smoothing income flows and consumption streams in the face of risks and threats to normal income generating resources. Many non-market activities of the household like having more number of children, marital relations, migration and remittances, education of children and innovating agricultural production are some of the diversification assets in the household income portfolio for spreading risks. This diversification strategy insures against the risks to income flows and consumption streams, minimises the vulnerability to covariate risks and prevents the complete collapse of the family.  

Highlighting the significant contribution of education to economic growth and development, this book also discusses the issues in financing of education, the costs and pricing of education, the measurement of academic learning by students, choice and participation of women in education, educational infrastructure and the willingness to pay for education. It is observed that the mechanisms of subsidising education is a tricky issue, the finances for education are becoming inadequate and the households are willing to pay more for education as education confers substantial private and social returns to the investments.

The book is intended to be a reference material for the study on the decision making and behaviour of the household with respect to non-market activities that are economically productive.

About the Book :-

Present demographic trends have influenced the micro and macro socio-economic and development structure. There is an emerging need to pay greater attention to issues related to Gerontology in order to ensure quality of life with dignity to the elderly. This book is a modest attempt to put together different innovative ideas & academic initiatives from national & international front. The book explores some important issues for older people and aims to provide new thinking towards the ground reality that today's elderly confront. Four major themes i.e. Geriatric Health and Perspectives; Gender& Ageing; Geriatric Care &Intervention; Social Security & Policies for Senior Citizens are covered in the book. The sections are not exclusive compartmentalization; there are connections in expression of ideas depicted by the scholars from India and abroad towards better understanding of  healthy and positive ageing. The book would  be useful for scholars, practitioners, researchers, policy makers, members of civil society, students and those who are interested in the area of gerontology.
