Early Southern African administration went to great lengths to improve control over their outbound labour migrants.

In this book, labour export is examined over the century 1890-1990 in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The broad theme is that the struggle for control of labour flows among different territories was of major importance in their formation as a system of states. (DÜI-Hff)

ICT has been identified as one of the major sub-sectors in the service sector in Bangladesh. Export policy of Bangladesh, designed for 2015-2018, has included 12 highest priority sectors considering their special export potentials, where software and ICT enabled service is one of them. The policy has some certain goals for promoting export of ICT based services. The broad objective of the study is to analyze export policy of Bangladesh related with ICT based service and the overall situation of policy implementation and under this broad objective specific objectives are (1) to evaluate the role of export policy of Bangladesh in promoting ICT based service export and (2) to find if there is gap between Bangladesh export policy for ICT based service and implementation of the policy. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used to conduct this research. The study found that the policy lacks some very important issues needed to be addressed for capitalizing high potentials ICT based service export sector. But there is no policy statement for supporting ICT entrepreneurs to have better access to national and international arena. Among the variables that affect policy implementation, political will and support have been appreciated by the ICT entrepreneurs. The goals which are not being implemented are probably being hampered by lack of required amount of financial allocation, lack of technical skill and knowledge of the implementers, and lack of related policies complementing this policy. Increased participation of entrepreneurs in this sector will be helpful to harvest the benefit from policy implementation. Article visualizations:
What explains fighter jet export policy to East Asia? The decision to export fighter jets from the United States (U.S.) to foreign countries is an important part of domestic and foreign policy. James Rosenau's theory of linkage politics suggests that domestic and international variables may work together in complex ways to develop U.S. export policy of fighter jets. This thesis uses a comparative case study approach to examine the domestic and international factors that are influential in determining U.S. export policy of fighter jets to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The political actors involved in making U.S. fighter jet export policy include the Executive Branch (primarily the president and Defense Department), Congress, and interest groups representing defense companies and foreign countries. Decisions regarding U.S. export policy of fighter jets to East Asia are influenced by international factors including the need for defense cooperation and diplomacy to enhance the security of the United States and its allies against the perceived threats posed by China and North Korea. These decisions are also impacted by domestic concerns including the desire of politicians to create high paying jobs for U.S. workers, increase contracts and profits for U.S. companies, and improve their chance for reelection. Overall, domestic concerns seems as important or even more important than international concerns when it comes to making decisions about exporting fighter jets to East Asia. ; 2013-05-01 ; M.A. ; Sciences, Political Science ; Masters ; This record was generated from author submitted information.
