India’s Economic Corridor Initiatives
India's Economic Corridor Initiatives highlights key aspects of current discourses on India's initiative of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and Chabahar, and their geo-economic significance.INSTC was founded by India, Russia, and Iran, and the Chabahar port in Iran provides a major prospective conduit for India's interchange and commerce with West Central Asia while maintaining a strategic distance from Pakistan's entry route. This book analyses the drastic changes in the equation of international relations in general, and more particularly between India and Eurasian countries. Contributors from Iran, Central Asia, Russia, Armenia and Europe provide a wide spectrum of opinion and analysis on the subject. The chapters claim that these corridors provide an alternative to the BRI and can play a pivotal role in de-escalating tensions through negotiations.A new addition to the debate on contemporary dynamics in Eurasia and India, this book will be of interest to researchers studying economic corridors, transnational and trans-regional economic relationships, security studies, regional and area studies, international relations and Indo-Iran-Russia relations.

Hydropower-Led Economic Growth in Bhutan
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Bhutan's economic growth and productivity dynamics from 1990 to 2022, with a special focus on hydropower development. Through the construction of detailed industry-level productivity accounts, the study addresses significant data gaps in Bhutan's national accounts, measuring outputs and inputs across various sectors and developing quality-adjusted labor and capital input series. The analysis reveals the complexities of Bhutan's hydropower-led growth strategy: while the sector has driven substantial economic growth, its contribution to overall productivity improvement has been limited. The electricity sector shows gains in labor productivity but declining capital productivity, resulting in stagnant Total Factor Productivity (TFP). The study also examines productivity trends in non-electricity sectors and addresses potential "Dutch disease" effects on manufacturing and agricultural competitiveness. International comparisons place Bhutan's productivity performance in a regional context, revealing significant gaps in productivity performance, particularly when compared to India, Bhutan's largest trading partner and a regional economic benchmark. This comparative analysis informs policy recommendations for achieving more balanced and sustainable economic growth. The findings are particularly relevant for Bhutan's Thirteenth Five-Year Plan (2024-2029), which emphasizes productivity improvements across all economic sectors. The book serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, economists, and researchers interested in development economics, particularly those focused on the unique challenges faced by small, landlocked nations pursuing sustainable economic development.
Globalnomics
Since the beginning of the economic record, great efforts have been exerted towards creating a sustained and prosperous economic environment. However, despite the effort this remains elusive, expanding economic environment brings in its path healthy economic growth rate and short periods of economic prosperity, quickly followed by sharp economic downturns, frequently referred to as recession. A careful study of these economic phenomena provides some startling facts. 1. Short-life economic prosperity could be completely avoided if economic regulations are directed at maintaining the health of the engine that drives the economy.2. Several variables within the economy contribute to its health if effectively controlled. However, over time many of these variables become irrelevant. Economic policy makers have not made any adjustments to these outdated variables. They are still retained in important economic decisions and when implemented derails the progress of the economy.3. Since the economic prosperity that is achieved is short-lived, the aim of this book is to provide a blueprint for a sustained economic success and prosperity. It offers economic policies and regulations that contrast with those being used over the past decades.At the heart of these newly developed economic policies, a new definition for inflation has been coined and a framework has been developed. The framework aims to eliminate these outdated economic variables that are considered the greatest hinderance to sustained economic prosperity.Globalnomics: Economics Thinking for the 21st Century explores the limitations of economic models developed in the 1930s that are currently being used as the foundation of developed economic policies to regulate our current economic environment. The book further advocates that for sustained economic prosperity to be achieved, the engine that drives the economic activities must be identified. Any economic policies that are implemented to rectify the imbalances within the economy, whether in an adverse economic environment or not, must maintain the health of the engine that drives the economic activities.

Since the economic prosperity that is achieved is short-lived, the aim of this book is to provide a blueprint for a sustained economic success and prosperity. It offers economic policies and regulations that contrast with those being used over the past decades.At the heart of these newly developed economic policies, a new definition for inflation has been coined and a framework has been developed. The framework aims to eliminate these outdated economic variables that are considered the greatest hinderance to sustained economic prosperity.Globalnomics: Economics Thinking for the 21st Century explores the limitations of economic models developed in the 1930s that are currently being used as the foundation of developed economic policies to regulate our current economic environment. The book further advocates that for sustained economic prosperity to be achieved, the engine that drives the economic activities must be identified. Any economic policies that are implemented to rectify the imbalances within the economy, whether in an adverse economic environment or not, must maintain the health of the engine that drives the economic activities.
Surviving and Thriving in Disruptive Times
Against the backdrop of the unprecedented increase in the inherent risk potential of the current global economic environment, organizational resilience is a critical imperative for multinational corporations. Despite this acknowledgment, global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and more recently the Russia-Ukraine war, have highlighted that many multinational companies are inadequately prepared for such extreme situations, revealing a significant research gap in the field of organizational resilience. Utilizing a comprehensive analysis of economic literature and qualitative interviews with senior management, this book attempts to close this research gap by developing cross-industry recommendations for developing and maintaining organizational resilience in the long term.

On Politicking
This book is unusual in that, although it asks a familiar question, it provides an unfamiliar answer. What's more, it's the most coherent and comprehensive answer possible. Most people say politics is about how societies organise their affairs, or about different kinds of government, or about who rules and why. The problem is that though they aren't wrong, they're only partly right. Social order, government and rule are all important, but they're part of a bigger picture. Politics is about much, much more. In short, it's about politicking, which is a fundamental form of behavior that involves a number of very specific practices. These include coercion, persuasion, reconciliation, exploitation, indoctrination, ratiocination, marginalization, and preemption. This is how people try to get their own way, either as individuals or in groups. It goes on all the time, too, within and between individuals, and at all other social levels, like families, bands, tribes, gangs, clubs, clans, offices, institutions, professions, companies, cities, provinces, countries, and religions. Most of this story never gets told, which is why this book was written. It has considerable theoretical significance, and a wide range of practical examples are provided throughout to illustrate the case it makes.

Sustainability in Global Companies
This textbook focuses on how sustainability is practiced in companies in different sectors of the global economy - examples include aviation, banking, energy, financial services, food, manufacturing, technology, transportation, and tourism. These corporate sectors are at the forefront of the debate around business and sustainability both in their usage of finite resources and their potential to deliver meaningful solutions. Consequently, several experts were brought together for this book and asked to focus on how sustainability is understood and practiced in different companies around the globe in terms of the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Chapters incorporate theoretical and applied examples that can help improve levels of insight into international business approaches. They provide opportunities to learn and disseminate factors that are delivering short, medium, and long-term solutions and problems. These insights can incorporate the spectrum of activities required inorder to achieve sustainability through industrial processes, supply chains to consumer behavior. The multi-disciplinary nature of the fundamental issues also prompted a diverse selection of academics and practitioners across disciplines who have knowledge and/or experiences of sustainability and international business theories, practices, and processes. Students and academics from across related disciplines, corporations, policymakers, and members of societies who study or have an interest in sustainable development will particularly find this book useful.
