"Author Meets Critics: Predrag Cicovacki, Author of Gandhi's Footprints, Meets Critics Sanjay Lal and Carlo Filice"
No full textTwo critics respond to Predrag Cicovacki’s book, Gandi’s Footprints. Cicovacki opens the discussion by presenting his motivations for exploring a paradox, that Gandhi’s work is widely revered but not widely emulated. Cicovacki explores a resolution to the paradox by suggesting how Gandhi’s promising visions may be followed without being imitated, especially Gandhi’s insight that we must seek spiritual grounding for life in a materialistic world. Critic Sanjay Lal affirms Cicovacki’s insight but suggests that precisely because Gandhi’s aspirations for spiritual life were profoundly transformative we should take care not to dilute them into our conventional wisdoms. Critic Carlo Filice asks how Gandhi’s commitment to unified reality could be more clearly articulated once a distinction is drawn between spirit and matter, also how Gandhi’s nonviolence could manage to embrace important exceptions. In reply to critics, Cicovacki proposes an approach to Gandhi informed by the insights of Tagore
Author interview: Q and A with Dr Ian Sanjay Patel on we’re here because you were there: immigration and the end of empire
No full textIn this author interview, we speak to Dr Ian Sanjay Patel about his new book, We’re Here Because You Were There: Immigration and the End of Empire, which explores post-war immigration laws, the afterlives of British imperial citizenship and related attempts to reimagine and rejuvenate British imperialism after 1945. Contributing to transnational histories of decolonisation, the book also explores the interconnections between human rights, post-war migration and international diplomacy.

Ascending the Nonviolence Continuum: Sanjay Lal, Author of \u3cem\u3eViolence, Nonviolence, and Moral Worth, \u3c/em\u3eMeets Critics
No full textIn this author-meets-critics discussion, Sanjay Lal presents the main ideas of his book Violence, Nonviolence, and Moral Worth, arguing that nonviolence meets violence along a continuum where there are degrees of greater and lesser examples, including a wide range of examples that combine both tendencies. Lal defines nonviolence in terms of three components that emphasize attitudes over actions: (1) a willingness to not harm others, (2) wanting to facilitate the well-being of others, (3) and not sacrificing one\u27s own moral worth. Three critics share their praises and concerns: Predrag Cicovacki challenges Lal to be more specific on the definition of moral worth, on the relationship between violence and nonviolence, and on the account that he gives for value theory and value conflict. Jennifer Kling asks if beliefs can serve as pre-existing grounds for action, if reconceptualizations of pop culture are bound to any limits, and if there are good reasons for assuming that all people are approachable. Danielle Poe asks what it means to reconceptualize popular culture as an approachable resource of nonviolent insight. Answering these questions, Lal reflects on what it means to be inspired by Gandhi’s example

Search for pair-produced heavy fourth-generation bottom-like quarks decaying to bZ and tW in 8,TeV proton-proton collisions with multilepton final states
No full textWe present a search for anomalous production of events with three or more isolated leptons produced in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. We analyze 9.2 /fb of data collected by the CMS experiment during the 2012 LHC run. We categorize observed multilepton events into exclusive search channels based on various quantities based on the identity and kinematics of the objects in the events. The search channels are ordered by the amount of expected Standard Model background. Explicit use of requirements such as missing transverse energy or total hadronic energy is avoided. We emphasize data-based estimation of the Standard Model backgrounds, but also use simulation to estimate some of the backgrounds when appropriate. We interpret search results in the context of a model involving the exotic bottom-like quark bprime decaying to two different modes bZ and tW with varying branching ratios. We derive exclusion limits as a function of the bprime mass as well as the branching ratios.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Sanjay R. Aror
Managing the effects of tax expenditures on the national budget
No full textTax expenditures, in the form of tax provisions, are government expenditures. They are conceptually and functionally distinct from those tax provisions whose purpose is to raise revenue. Tax expenditure programs are comparable to entitlement programs. Therefore, tax expenditures must be analyzed in spending terms and integrated into the budgetary process to ensure fiscal accountability. In addition, tax expenditures must be audited for performance and the information must be published (with comprehensive analysis) to ensure fiscal transparency. The author analyzes the concept and definition, size, and effects of tax expenditures, as well as the fiscal accountability and transparency of tax expenditure spending. In short, tax expenditures affect (1) the budget balance,(2) budget prioritization in allocation, (3) the effectiveness and efficiency of fiscal resources, and (4) the scope for abuse by taxpayers, government officials and legislators. While reviewing the current practices in tax expenditures against the requirements of fiscal accountability and transparency, she finds that this fiscal area must be strengthened. The author sketches four building blocks to strengthen tax expenditures toward fiscal accountability and transparency, based on the literature developed by Surry and McDaniel, the practices from industrial and developing countries, the Campos and Pradhan fiscal accountability model, and the International Monetary Fund's fiscal transparency code. The author argues that normative/benchmark tax structure, a revenue-raising component of the tax system, should be formalized. The normative/benchmark tax structure should be legally defined in the tax law and should be transparent. The tax receipts from this normative/benchmark tax structure should be quantified and published. Presently, many countries could publish imputed tax revenue from normative/benchmark tax structures because such data is available. Only if imputed tax revenue is published in the same way as the other budget components-tax revenue received, tax expenditures, direct expenditures, and fiscal balance-will a budget system be truly transparent in terms of revenue-raising activities and expenditure activities. In addition, when the tax revenue-raising activity is formalized, the inherent spending nature of tax expenditures is further exposed. Therefore, tax expenditures should be added to direct expenditures forming total government expenditures. Furthermore, the conventional concept of the size of government should be remedied by including both direct expenditures and tax expenditures.Public Sector Economics&Finance,Tax Law,Fiscal Adjustment,Public Sector Fiscal Adjustment,Economic Theory&Research
Historias conectadas: notas para una reconfiguración de Eurasia en la modernidad temprana
No full textSpanish translation of the fundamental paper, “Connected Histories” by scholar Sanjay Subrahmanyam. In 1997, he published a discussion of his methodological proposal for the study of the early modern period and the major cultural transformations that it purported across the globe: he called it “connected histories”. It conveyed an innovative perspective that sought to overcome the limitations of the more traditional comparative approach as it had been implemented in particular in the context of Southeast Asia, that is, normalizing geopolitical frames projected from the modern nation-State. Through connected histories, the author pinpoints areas of contact –historical epicenters– where ideas, people, and things circulated, prompting deep, mutual influence that resonated at the local, regional and global level.Se presenta una traducción del seminal artículo de Sanjay Subrahmanyam. En 1997, el historiador del sudeste asiático sintetizaba su propuesta metodológica para el abordaje de los albores de la modernidad y de sus profundas transformaciones culturales. Se trata de las “historias conectadas”, una perspectiva superadora del análisis comparativo y de su tendencia a reproducir recortes geográficos apriorísticos y anclados habitualmente en los marcos del Estado-nación moderno. Las historias conectadas reconocen los puntos de contacto –epicentros históricos– donde se produjeron diálogos e intercambios entre unidades políticas y culturales, cuya influencia reverberó a nivel local, regional y global
