The focus of this study is the economic performance of East Asia
since the 1960s. It looks at the common forces, generated by each
country's policies, that jointly produced successful outcomes. The
roles of macroeconomic and microeconomic factors are analysed. For
comparison, the same framework is used to examine the less
successful performance of the Indian economy. The analysis
emphasises the significance of the overall institutional context in
which policies are implemented in determining their effectiveness.
Food problems - the efficient production or procurement of food and
its appropriate distribution among members of society - are
problems endemic to mankind. Yet the nature and dimensions of these
problems have been changing over time. As economic systems have
developed, specialization has increased; and this has led to
increased interdependences of rural and urban areas, of
agricultural and nonagricultural sectors, and of nations. When the
International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) began
the Food and Agriculture Program (FAP) in 1976, we started with
these objectives: (1) To evaluate the nature and dimensions of the
world food situation. (2) To identify the factors that affect it.
(3) To suggest policy alternatives at national, regional, and
global levels: (a) To alleviate current food problems. (b) To
prevent food problems in the future. To realize these objectives,
FAP was organized around two major tasks. The first task was
directed at national policy for food and agriculture in an
international situation. Here, computable general equilibrium
models were developed for nearly 20 major developed and developing
countries and were linked together to examine food trade, aid,
capital flows, and how they affect hunger, in addition to the
effects of national government policies, which were also considered
in detail. This approach, however, needed to be complemented by
another approach that dealt with food production at the farm level.
This book provides a comparative picture of the restructuring
experiences of five Asian economies: South Korea, Singapore,
Indonesia, Thailand and India. In the case of Indonesia and
Thailand, the focus is on short-run structural adjustment measures,
and in the case of South Korea and Singapore, the emphasis is on
longer term industrial, trade, labour and financial sector
policies. The chapter on India views the country's economic
development in the light of the above analysis. The political
economy of the policy-making process is examined in each case.

Thiosemicarbazones are established as selective and sensitive
analytical reagents for transition metals. This book describes
literature survey and synthesis of some important
thiosemicarbazones.As 2-hydroxy-4-n-butoxy-5-bromopropiophenone
thiosemicarbazone (HBBrPT) is selective and strong chelating agent,
it was developed as new reagent for spectrophotometric
determination of micro quantities of cadmium. This extractive
technique is found to be very simple, rapid and accurate for the
determination of cadmium. The detailes of selection of pH,
wavelength and solvent for the present system is reported. Validity
of Beer's law, molar extinction coefficient, Sandell's sensitivity,
Effect of foreign ion, etc. were investigated.Job's method of
continuous variation, the mole ratio and the slope ratio methods
were studied. The stability constant and the free energy of the
cadmium-HBBrPT complex were evaluated. The book is designed in the
form of thesis work for Ph.D.degree so that reader can easily
understand the work done by the authors. This book is very much
useful for post graduate and research scholars to determine cadmium
spectophotometrically.
