CHINA´S WTO ACCESSION: ITS IMPACT ON CHINESE EMPLOYMENT
Full text linkIt is often claimed that the WTO membership will benefit China by increasing exports and employment and forcing domestic firms to improve efficiency through competition. Benefits are expected to accrue through improved resource allocation and greater economic efficiency resulting from trade liberalization and greater global competition. In the paper we argue that although some sectors will benefit from competition others will suffer a great deal especially in the short and medium terms. The net overall benefits are likely to accrue only in the long run. During the transition period China will face enormous problems of restructuring of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and banking, insurance and financial services, entailing significant loss of employment. The employment impact of the accession with special reference to SOEs is considered since they are generally less competitive than the non-state enterprises. Reduction in SOE employment may not be compensated by an increase in employment in the non-state sector. The experience of three specific industries is discussed: textiles and clothing, automobiles and household appliances. Besides the unemployment impact of the accession, the paper examines the possibility of a ‘flying geese model’ of trade and development working within China to maintain its global competitiveness on account of low labour costs in the hinterland. It also discusses China’s possible response to global competition to protect employment, for example. Three types of response are considered: non-compliance of the WTO accord, devaluation, and a production shift from tradeables to non-tradeables.

No full textThe Great Indian Divide of 1947: Reconstructing and recovering South Asian histories through literature, history, and personal narratives
No full textThe Great Indian Divide of 1947, sometimes referred to as the Partition, occurred when the British forces retreated from South Asia and left over fourteen million people uprooted from their ancestral homes (Bhalla, 2022). During the Partition, at least three million people died from hunger, violence, suicide and disease. (Bhalla, 2022). The purpose of the Partition once the British relinquished their control of India and giving the subcontinent their independence, was to create a country for Muslims called Pakistan. This decision was emphasized by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who believed that the relation ties between Hindus and Muslims were far from being repaired due to the tension created by colonization and fought for a two-nation division where Muslims would have a homeland for themselves (Roy, 2021). The decision to divide India caused families to be separated, brought psychological trauma on witnesses, and identity loss, some of the many human costs that the partition brought. For a while, the Great Indian Divide of 1947 has been studied as a political event rather than a humanitarian catastrophe. The aim of this thesis is to intervene the heavy focus placed upon politics in regard to Partition studies and expand on how Partition literature written by first and second generation authors can be used as a field of study to better understand the human experience and aspects of the Partition that the lenses of politics and history are unable to cover within their scope of range. Furthermore, explore the impacts Partition literature has on South Asian American communities. This is done through a literature review of Partition literature, connecting the historical phenomenon's present in Partition literature, and an oral history with Saadia Faruqi, author of The Partition Project.Honors CollegeEnglish, Department o

Conventional incision and drainage versus incision and drainage with primary closure in acute abscess: a prospective study
No full textBackground: An abscess is a common surgical condition. Abscesses may occur anywhere in the body. Surgical treatment of subcutaneous and soft tissue abscesses includes percutaneous aspiration, incision and drainage without primary closure, incision and drainage with primary closure with drain. The present study was planned to compare conventional method of incision and drainage with incision and drainage with primary closure in cases of acute -abscesses.Methods: A total of 100 patients with acute abscesses were included in the study and randomized into 2 groups with 50 patients in each group. The present study was carried out to compare the conventional method of incision and drainage with incision and drainage with primary closure of the wounds in acute abscesses with regards to wound healing, post- operative pain, duration of hospital stays and recurrence rates.Results: Wound healing was significantly faster in incision and drainage with primary closure (9.18±0.941days) as compared to conventional method of incision and drainage (16.66±1.944 days) [p <0.05]. Mean hospital stay with convention method of incision and drainage was 7.12±0.718 days and with primary closure was 4.0±0.728days (p <0.05). Mean VAS was significantly less in primary closure as compared with conventional method. Decreasing trend in VAS was observed on day 3, day 5 and day 7 (p value 0.000). Recurrence rate of an abscess was seen in 5 cases in conventional method and 2 cases in primary closure (p >0.05).Conclusions: Author have observed a significant difference noted in time taken for wound healing, postoperative pain, hospital stay and recurrence rate between two groups.</jats:p
THE IMPACT OF CHINA´S ACCESSION TO WTO ON THE EXPORTS OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Full text linkUsing the "revealed competitive advantage indices" for exports and imports, the paper is devoted to the analyses of the vulnerability of selected developing countries if China´s competitive position is improved due to its entry to WTO. In contrast to the existing literature which concentrates on labour-intensive products as a group, this paper considers products at a disaggregate level since products in the same group are not often homogeneous. In labour-intensive manufactured goods, China competes mainly with South Asian* countries and a few Latin American and African countries. But it also provides them with little demand complementary effects. Nevertheless, some Latin American and African countries may benefit from the expansion of China´s imports of foods and agricultural raw materials. In the final market for capital goods China competes with Asian newly industrializing economies (NIEs) and Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, and in a limited number of goods with Mexico and Costa Rica. For NIEs, unlike others such competition involves complementary effects, through the import of parts and components, which will over-offset the competition effects in the short- and medium-run. As China develops its capacity to produce components, however, the "competition " effect may dominate. China´s export structure is similar to that of the Republic of Korea and Malaysia in the final market for a number of "finished" capital goods. By contrast, Thailand is vulnerable in clothing, miscellaneous household equipment and electric machinery. Indonesia has little to worry except for furniture. India concentrates mainly on undergarments, and China in outer garments. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Viet Nam and Nepal have similar export structure with China in some clothing items, but overall they, particularly Viet Nam have been aggressive in exportation of these products. Sri Lanka and Pakistan also compete with China in toys and sporting goods, but both have shown some strength in their exports. Except Mexico, Costa Rica, Haiti and to some extent Uruguay, the export structure of the Latin American countries is mostly different from that of China. Mexico has a strong competitive position vis-à-vis China in a number of clothing items, but weaker in a few assembly operation. Costa Rica´s competitive advantage has noticeably improved for a number of clothing items and a few assembly operations. Haiti competes with China in 8 products, mostly clothing. It has a strong competitive position in footwear, one clothing item and some base metal. Uruguay´s relative competitive position is weak in a number of labourintensive products. The export structure of African countries is different from that of China, except for Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Malawi. These countries have improved their competitive position in their clothing. China´s entry into the WTO will not change, for some time, its market access for textiles and clothing for it to be a threat to other developing countries. In fact, China´s growth in quota for exports to developed countries will increase far less than other developing countries. Nevertheless, if China attempts devaluation the situation could change radically. China´s devaluation is however unlikely. Over a longer-term, much depends on what policy China will pursue in its trade and industrialization. China´s attempt in increasing domestic value added in exports could lead to improvement in its competitiveness in technology/skill intensive products of interest to NIEs and the ASEAN.
CHINA´S ACCESSION TO WTO: EXAGGERATED FEARS?
Full text linkThe determination of China to accede to the World Trade Organization was driven mostly by its desire to further its economic reform. However, because of the spectacular growth in its international trade in the past two decades, there is the fear that with China’s accession to WTO, China would undergo another wave of international trade expansion which might cost job opportunities in both developed and developing worlds. On the other hand, the Chinese are wary of social dislocation to be caused by intensified foreign competition in the post-accession period. A close examination of the structure of China’s international trade shows that because of the high import contents of China’s exports and the fact that foreign-funded companies account for about half of China’s international trade, future growth in China’s international trade will benefit to various degrees China’s trading partners as well as home countries of transnational corporations. Furthermore, the talk of an imminent export surge from China seems far- fetched, as the conditions of China’s accession to WTO as well China’s foreign trade potential are unlikely to permit that to take place. On the whole, the challenges posed by China’s accession to WTO will, at least in the short run, be greater to China than to its trading partners. However, two decades of fast economic growth and opening-up to the outside world have prepared the country. Therefore, the new set of problems for China is likely to be surmountable.
