Cet article tente de montrer que le roman marocain de la nouvelle génération est marqué, tant sur le plan thématique que formel, par un désir de dévoilement, c'est-à-dire, d'une part, par le souci permanent de mettre des mots sur les entraves qui sabordent les tentatives de construction de « l'éthos d'un vivre ensemble démocratique.» et, d'autre part, par la volonté de mener une réflexion approfondie sur les dérives qui pourraient éventuellement résulter de cette impasse. La mise en fiction des mutations sociales et des tensions politiques et religieuses fait des romanciers marocains, non seulement, des observateurs attentifs de leur propre société, mais aussi et surtout des acteurs engagés dans son changement.Que ce soit d'une manière latente, affichée ou autoproclamée, c'est la capacité de déchiffrer les conflits qui déchirent la société contemporaine et le désir de repenser «le vivre ensemble» dans l'optique de le panser, qui animent leur production. ; Cet article tente de montrer que le roman marocain de la nouvelle génération est marqué, tant sur le plan thématique que formel, par un désir de dévoilement, c'est-à-dire, d'une part, par le souci permanent de mettre des mots sur les entraves qui sabordent les tentatives de construction de « l'éthos d'un vivre ensemble démocratique.» et, d'autre part, par la volonté de mener une réflexion approfondie sur les dérives qui pourraient éventuellement résulter de cette impasse.

Geopolitical considerations necessitate alliances with Pakistan. Pakistan borders on Russia and China, lies astride the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent, and constitutes a bridge, geographically and otherwise, between the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The alliances rest on a firm foundation of common objectives and values that are shared by Pakistan and the United States. The charge that alliances and grant of military aid have generated tension in the areas concerned lacks foundation. To wit, tension in the Middle East has not subsided despite Iraq's withdrawal from the Baghdad Pact; relations between India and Pakistan have lately improved vastly despite continuance of alliances and military aid. The basic cause of Indo-Pakistan tension is the continuance of the Kashmir dispute. Recent developments on India's northern borders underline the urgency of Indo-Pakistan co-operation to meet a common danger. Pakistan has offered to join with India in defense of the subcontinent. This can be possible only if the Kashmir dispute is settled. Economic progress of new Asian countries is not possible without the assurance of continued security. And alliances provide this assurance. They constitute a shield behind which the standard of living of the peoples of Asian allies can be raised.

Mincerian Earning Function (MEF), with its standard assumptions, is a dominant model to estimate earning returns to education through its earning-schooling relationship in labor markets. This study explores empirical evidence to estimate the MEF for different years of engineering training in Pakistan. The theoretical model of MEF is used to specify the main determinants of general education, experience, engineering training, and other variables to show a snapshot of technical training and earning relationships in Pakistan. The instrumental variable two stages least square (IV2SLS) technique gives estimates of MEF for the selected sample size of 371 qualified respondents in the fields of engineering education and training in this study. The two-stage random sampling technique is used to collect cross-sectional data, and the results are statistically significant for general education and engineering training in the case of Pakistan. General education, experience, engineering training, and the provinces associations for the respondents likely influence the log earnings of the respondents. The results put forth insightful policy implications for national and provincial public policy processes for human capital formation in the fields of science and technology.

Abstract
We contribute to the literature by exploring the variation in the trade-creating effect of migration networks across historical migrants and recent migrants by applying a micro-founded gravity model of trade. Both the stock of historical migrants and recent migrants variables are constructed by merging Canadian Census data with the migration data available in Statistics Canada. We address the endogeneity issue by applying IV estimators including two-step feasible GMM and PPML with IV and fixed effects by utilizing the imputed annual migration flow, the historical stock, and recent stock of migrants as instrumental variables proposed by Peri and Requena (2010). Taking Canadian geographical features into account, this study also applies carefully measured gravity variables. We control for the time-varying, exporter-year fixed effects, and importer-year fixed effects in a panel estimation. Estimated results show that annual migration, recent provincial stock of migrants, and historical stock of migrants significantly increase Canadian interprovincial trade. This impact is stronger for the stock of historical migrants relative to the stock of recent migrants and annual migration flow. Sub-sample analysis shows that both recent and historical migration consistently increase interprovincial service trade, only but not interprovincial goods trade. A greater combination of English and French-speaking provinces-pair significantly increases interprovincial trade. Regional trade agreements significantly impact the interprovincial trade of Canada. Our estimated results are robust to different estimation methods and alternative measures for the migrants' stock and flow variables.

This study gives an overview of geo-economic and socio-economic perspectives of Balochistan. The research methodology of descriptive analysis is used to highlight the objectives of this study on thematic analysis outcomes. The findings of the study show paradoxical themes that Balochistan is the largest and resourceful yet the least developed province of Pakistan. The major portion of population comprises of youth but not skilled enough to find decent works for livelihood earnings. Political awareness is present, but the government is made on the consent of governments formed at federal level. Economic snapshots reveal that resource-rich attributes of the province are associated with the lowest socio-economic indices across all districts of the province. The natural cum geo-economic importance and resources abundance have not contributed for socio-economic development of this backward province of Balochistan. Unemployment, low skills development, zero industrialization and socio-economic backwardness are main economic issues responsible for the lowest development of the province. The policy recommendations include the implementation of comprehensive development policies for natural resource development, human capital formation of its labor force, coastal area development, development of Gwadar sea-port, enhancing capacity building of the provincial government departments, rule of law, investment for socio-economic development and mainstreaming the local population in macro decision making for the development of the least developed province of Balochistan.

The objective of this research is to select the most suitable drilling location of new groundwater exploration wells, with a decision-making tool from Geographic Information System (GIS). The optimum location will be evaluated base on the hydro-geoelectrical parameter derived from Vertical Electrical Sound (VES) including Longitudinal Conductance, the thickness of the aquifer, the apparent resistivity and Transmissivity. From the Geo-electrical method (VES) the finds shows that the aquifers in the study area have Apparent Resistivity ranging from 0.32 to 40.24 Ωm, Thickness between 0.21 m to 15.06 m, Longitudinal Conductance ranging from 0.006 to 10.246Ω-1 and Transmissivity ranging from 0.14 to 10.38m2/day. Hydro-geoelectrical data were integrated into GIS to precisely determine the best location for groundwater borehole. Finally, the study location was classified into three classes; not suitable, moderately suitable and highly suitability with respect to the input factors using the Fuzzy overly combing method. It's evident that the middle part of the area in study represents the optimum location for the drilling of groundwater boreholes.
