Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Globalisation refers to movement of goods, services, finance and culture across international borders. Mahbub ul Haq Human Development Centre's 2001 report on globalisation deals only with one aspect of globalisation - the extent of economic globalisation and its impact on people in South Asia. This is a unique perpective as most analysts tend to be concerned with potential benefits of globalisation from increased trade in goods and services. This report looks at the social
impact of globalisation, and the broader policy implications of this perspective. The report's collection of data on South Asia's globalisation and human development indicators is a valuable resource for policymakers and academic researchers.
Long description:
This is the first South Asian report analysing the region's experience with globalisation. By the early 1990s all the countries in South Asia entered the globalisation process by liberalising their economies, opening up their markets, and implementing reforms to improve economic management. The results of these efforts have been uneven from one country to another, as well as within each particular country. Even where the economic growth rate has improved, human welfare in terms
of education, health, or employment may have suffered. The report analyses this process from the perspective of its impact on people. It presents the experience of five South Asian countries: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The questions this report raises and tries to answer are:
What has been the extent of South Asia's trade and financial integration with the world? How have the economic reform programmes fared in raising growth and improving human development? What has been the social impact of the globalisation process? Do South Asian nations have full access to the opportunities of expanded trade? Are free markets open to South Asia's poor and the unskilled?
... the non-technical discussion and wealth of data will provoke discussion and benefit a wide range of readers including researchers, academicians, policy-makers and students of South Asia. It will also help them to think in multiple dimensions.
