Disaster management and the role of the state / Chakrabarty, Manas   Article
Chakrabarty, Manas Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Natural disasters hit at all in the society without any discrimination, rich and poor. But in reality, it is the poor who are the worst sufferers. One of the most important tasks before us is to introduce a culture of prevention in disaster managers and all communities at all levels. The culture must be disseminated so that all people in the society can become alert and become aware so that they can take some preventive measures in case of an emergency or before the disaster strikes. In this regard, early warning and conscious developmental planning are key elements to preventive planning regarding disaster. In India, now we experience a paradigm shift from post disaster response mechanism to pre disaster prevention, preparedness and mitigation strategy.

Role of the state in alleviation of poverty in South Asia / Herath, Tikiri Nimal   Article
Herath, Tikiri Nimal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The market and the state have to play valuable complementary roles in economic development. The government or state is expected to correct and facilitate the market. If the government fails, people cannot lead fine lives. At present, South Asian people have many socio-economic and political problems including poverty. Some of these problems are outcomes of poor performance of the state and are correlated with poverty. Specifically speaking, in South Asia, 32 per cent of the population lives on less than $1.25 a day. Some countries do not concentrate on development. Instead, they are entangled in civil struggles, infringement of human rights and failures of government, such as, corruption. Therefore, this study examines whether the South Asian countries have played the proper role of the state as accepted by economists. This objective is achieved by analyzing selected performance measures of the state, such as, corruption, rule of law, modernization of roads, education, health and governance, over time and comparing their changing patterns between economies. The study is based on secondary data, and in addition to qualitative analysis, many variables are econometrically analyzed. It concludes that in South Asian states poverty is decreasing but states and governments of these countries have to do much more to promote growth and alleviate poverty.

Summary/Abstract IN THE first decades of the 21st century, the US experienced several major socioeconomic shocks - primarily the so-called great recession of 2008-2009, the most destructive cyclical crisis after the Great Depression of the late 1920s and early 1930s; the cyclical crisis of 2020, which coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic and had a fairly negative impact on the US economy and revealed its weaknesses; and finally, inflation, which in 2022 hit 8% for the first time in 40 years.
