Defense Planning

When barbados became the fourth English-speaking Caribbean country to achieve its constitutional independence, in November 1966, one of its prime responsibilities was to assume defense of the new state. How Barbados approached this problem of defense planning and policy-making in its first 22 years of nationhood (1966-1988) will be the focus of this study. No previous study devoted exclusively to this subject has been published in all this time, a most surprising omission.Barbados defense policy may be divided into three phases which correspond, roughly, with the periods during which its two major parties — the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) and the Barbados Labor Party (BLP) — have alternated in power.

IT-enabled services (ITES) in India have registered tremendous growth in recent years. Availability of English speaking trained manpower and low wages are some of the factors that have contributed to the growth of ITES sector in India. However, recent political movements against outsourcing, quality concerns of the clients, and data theft have had negative effects retarding the growth of this sector. In this chapter we review all the techno-economic factors that positively and negatively affect the growth of the ITES sector. An exhaustive literature survey is done to elicit these factors. We develop a generic causal model indicating the relationships between the various factors and the growth of ITES revenue. We discuss the factors of advantages and disadvantages India has in this sector. We draw some broad conclusions as to how the stakeholders such as policy making bodies and the industry associations can use this model to study the effects of these factors on the growth of the industry.

The growing importance of internationalization and the global dominance of English in higher education mean pressures on expanding English-taught degree programs (ETDPs) in non-English-speaking countries. Strategic considerations are necessary to successfully integrate ETDPs into existing programs and to optimize the effects of internationalization. Previous studies have proposed that innovation theory might explain effectively how to achieve this. This article examines the validity of innovation theory as a framework for understanding the institutionalization of ETDPs and identifies determining factors of successful outcomes. A case study was conducted in Dutch universities to identify factors influencing the institutionalization of ETDPs. A qualitative analysis of 15 interviews with academics demonstrated that an innovation theory-based framework can enable a systematic understanding of the institutionalization of ETDPs and can be effective in analyzing the influencing factors. Analyses utilizing this framework can contribute to strategic planning and policy-making for internationalization at national and institutional levels.
