The Report on Food Security was prepared by the Task Force set up in the Planning Commission by the Prime Minister of Pakistan in May 2008 to: (i) review the production, availability, storage, and consumption of essential food commodities in Pakistan; (ii) examine the food procurement system and status of storage facilities; (iii) analyse price trends of essential food commodities; (iv) assess the impact of (food) price hike (observed in 2007-08) on vulnerable groups; and (v) devise an action plan for promoting food security for the vulnerable groups. It produced two Interim Reports in July 2008 and September 2008 before the submission of the Final Report in February 2009.
The setting up of the Task Force by the newly elected government soon after it had taken over was timely in that it preceded the start of the 'Rabi sowing season for the next (winter 2008-09) wheat crop, the staple food in Pakistan. It must also be seen in the context of the unprecedented increase in global food prices in 2007-08 and rising threat of hunger and food insecurity, especially in developing countries. The need for evolving a comprehensive national strategy for food security was therefore pressing and urgent.
The main elements of the national strategy for food security identified by the Task Force are: (i) achieving a growth rate of at least 4 percent during the next decade (2010 2020) for agricultural sector with special focus on livestock sub-sector; (ii) setting up an efficient food procurement and distribution system for ensuring around the year food security in all regions of the country; (iii) adopting a pro-poor growth strategy to enhance access of poor households to food; (iv) establishing transparent and efficient safety nets for the vulnerable groups. An important contribution of the Report was the construction of a food security index (FSI) incorporating (with suitable weights) major aspects of food security. It also recommended the adoption and frequent updating of the proposed FSI to monitor food security situation in the country.

This dissertation is composed of three papers papers and explores different aspects of Venture Capital (VC) financing in developing Asia.The dissertation commences with the general introduction which of VC. The general introduction provides the definition, overview, and typologies of VC firms. MoreoverFurthermore, general introduction layouts the research design and structure of the dissertation.The general introduction is followed by Chapter 1 which . This chapter elaborates the conception, history, and evolution of VC, and subsequently, its transference and internationalization – with a particular focus on Asian developing countries. Chapter 1 also outlines the salient differences of the VC industry across countries based on the institutional framework in terms of screening and selection of projects, value addition, and exit mechanism of the portfolio companies.Chapter 2 investigates the exit performance of companies backed by government venture capital (GVC) compared with that of firms backed by independent venture capital (IVC) in Asia. Using a sample of 3,817 firms from 9 Asian developing countries over 26 years (1991-2017), we first show that GVC-backed firms are more likely to be financed in the early stage than IVC-backed firms. In doing so, GVC absorbs the higher probability of unsuccessful exit associated with firms financed in the early stage. In contrast, we find that in the expansion stage and later stage, GVC-backed firms perform better than IVC-backed ones. Overall, we show that GVC-backed firms outperform IVC-backed firms in terms of successful exits. We thus challenge the hypothesis of GVC underperformance tested in the existing literature on other geographical areas. Finally, we also provide evidence that mixed syndication (combination of GVC and IVC) improves the exit performance of ventures.Chapter 3 explores the investment behavior, exit performance and optimal exit route choice of Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) backed entrepreneurial companies in comparison with GVC-backed entrepreneurial firms in developing Asia. We studied a sample of 1198 companies that received their first investment either from a CVC firm or from a GVC firm, during the period 1999 to 2013, in five Asian countries. We first showed that CVC firms are more likely to invest in High-tech companies as compared with GVC firms. We further showed that CVC-backed firms are more likely to go successful and that CVC-backed firms are more likely to exit through Initial Public Offerings (IPO), as compared with GVC-backed companies, in developing Asia. We addressed the problems of endogeneity concerns and selection bias of observable and unobservable characteristics by employing the Bivariate Probit Model, Heckman two-step estimator, and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) techniques. Our results are robust to several checks.Chapter 4 investigates the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the hosts country's domestic VC industry. We studied a sample of 7 Asian developing countries over the period 2000 to 2018. Employing Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) model (Mean Group (MG) and Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimators), we find that the FDI has no effect, in the short run, but significant and positive effect on domestic VC activity due to the positive externalities and spillover effects, in the long run. FDIs complement domestic VC investments and helps in the creation of new VC-backed companies.The last chapter concludes the dissertation. This chapter accentuates the contribution of the dissertationto current state of art and presents the implications of the dissertationin terms of policies. Furthermore, this chapter also highlights the limitation of the dissertationand suggest the avenues for the future research. ; Le Capital-Risque (CR) est la forme de financement par capitaux propres la plus admirée et la plus adaptée aux entreprises jeunes et innovantes pour lever des capitaux externes, et les capital-risqueurs participent activement à la gestion des entreprises dans lesquelles ils investissent. Les sociétés de capital-risque prennent des risques et croient en la notion bien connue de risque élevé/gain élevé. La National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) définit de manière plausible le capital-risque comme "l'argent fourni par des professionnels qui investissent, aux côtés de la direction, dans de jeunes entreprises à croissance rapide qui ont le potentiel de devenir des contributeurs économiques importants".Cependant, le capital-risque a une trajectoire d'évolution différente dans les pays asiatiques en développement. Ainsi, l'industrie du capital-risque en Asie est sensiblement différente de ses homologues dans les pays occidentaux - notamment aux États-Unis et en Europe. L'industrie du capital-risque en Asie est immature et sous-développée. En outre, les sociétés de capital-risque ne sont pas homogènes et diffèrent radicalement les unes des autres en termes de structure, de gouvernance et d'objectifs. En gardant à l'esprit les spécificités de l'industrie asiatique du capital-risque et l'hétérogénéité entre les sociétés de capital-risque, cette thèse tend à étudier la performance des différents types de sociétés de capital-risque et les principaux moteurs et déterminants de l'activité de capital-risque dans les pays asiatiques en développement. Cette thèse est un recueil de trois articles et se compose de cinq chapitres.L'introduction générale est suivie du chapitre 1.Le chapitre 2 étudie les performances de sortie des entreprises soutenues par le capital-risque gouvernemental (GVC) par rapport à celles des entreprises soutenues par le capital-risque indépendant (IVC) en Asie. À l'aide d'un échantillon de 3 817 entreprises de neuf pays en développement asiatiques sur une période de 26 ans (1991-2017), nous montrons d'abord que les entreprises soutenues par le GVC sont plus susceptibles d'être financées dans la phase initiale que les entreprises soutenues par le IVC. Ce faisant, la GVC absorbe la probabilité plus élevée de sortie infructueuse associée aux entreprises financées dans la phase initiale.Le chapitre 3 explore le comportement d'investissement, la performance de sortie et le choix de la voie de sortie optimale des entreprises soutenues par du capital-risque d'entreprise (CVC) par rapport aux entreprises soutenues par du capital-risque gouvernemental (GVC) dans les pays asiatiques en développement. Nous avons étudié un échantillon de 1198 entreprises qui ont reçu leur premier investissement soit d'une entreprise à capital-risque, soit d'une entreprise à capital-risque public, entre 1999 et 2013, dans cinq pays asiatiques. Nous avons d'abord montré que les entreprises CVC sont plus susceptibles d'investir dans des entreprises de haute technologie que les entreprises GVC.Le chapitre 4 étudie l'impact de l'investissement direct étranger sur l'industrie du capital-risque du pays hôte. Nous avons étudié un échantillon de 7 pays en développement asiatiques sur la période 2000 à 2018. En utilisant le modèle ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lags) - estimateurs Mean Group (MG) et Pooled Mean Group (PMG) - nous constatons que les IDE n'ont aucun effet, à court terme, mais un effet significatif et positif sur l'activité de capital-risque domestique en raison des externalités positives et des effets d'entraînement, à long terme. Les IDE attirent le capital-risque national en termes de montant investi et contribuent à la création de nouvelles entreprises soutenues par le capital-risque.

Kedua, variabel political viability, yaitu putusan KPU justru merusak nilai-nilai harmoni dalam masyarakat, pasal 63 ayat 2 UU No.32/2004 tidak dibuat secara jelas dan sederhana, adanya pelanggaran kode etik penyelenggara pemilu, dan sikap KPUD yang melakukan pencetakan surat suara baru tanpa menunggu putusan MK. Hal ini berdampak pada pemecatan Anggota KPU Andi Nurpati dan gugurnya paslon kepala daerah di daerah lain setelah penetapan gugurnya paslon Aziz-Amir. Ketiga, variabel administrative operability, yaitu kemampuan pegawai dan komisioner KPUD dalam menyelenggarakan tahapan pemilu masih rendah, kurangnya kegiatan sosialisasi, dan lemahnya koordinasi antara KPUD dengan organisasi-organisasi yang terlibat di dalamnya, rendahnya dukungan pemerintah terhadap KPUD dalam hal finansial, sarana dan prasarana, serta peralatan-peralatan lainnya.

Pelarangan buku adalah bentuk paradoks di negara demokrasi karena memperlihatkan kesewenang­wenangan dalam membatasi kebebasan berpikir, berpendapat, dan berekspresi. Padahal semua itu dijamin oleh prinsip­prinsip dasar demokrasi, bahkan secara tegas ditulis dalam Undang­Undang Dasar 1945. Melarang buku juga menjadi paradoks bagi kehidupan bermedia di Indonesia yang lebih dari satu dekade terakhir telah mengumandangkan dukungan terhadap kebebasan pers. Pelarangan buku, di sisi lain, mengindikasikan ambiguitas kebijakan penguasa. Alih­alih mengantisipasi polemik di masyarakat, lewat tindakan pelarangan buku, pemerintah memperlihatkan praktik­praktik primitif dalam mengontrol, mengarahkan, membatasi, bahkan memandulkan cara berpikir masyarakat. Pelarangan buku juga mencerminkan ketakutan penguasa dengan mengekang hak politik warga negaranya, tidak mengakui adanya keanekaragaman perspektif dan sudut pandang. Artikel ini ingin meneroka sejarah kebijakan pelarangan buku oleh rezim Orde Baru (Orba), guna mencatat perubahan bentuk dan orientasi yang melatari tindakan pelarangan buku sesuai konteks zamannya, serta apa dampaknya terhadap pendisiplinan masyarakat Indonesia.

Muhammad Hatta and Indonesian Islamic Democratic Party: A Thought Dynamic of Relationship betweenReligion and Politic. Mohammad Hatta as a person who firstly proclaims RI was an initiator who had an idea ofseparated relationship between religion and politic. Hatta was someone who "responsible" for deleting sevenwords on Jakarta Charter 1945 as a spirit in integrating religion and politic. He lobbied many Islamic prominentfigures to consider deleting "sacred" words on the Jakarta Charter, "kewajiban menjalankan syari`at Islam bagipemeluk-pemeluknya" ("the compulsory to obey Islamic law for the followers) that was recommended by thenine committees. Such statement had made Hatta elder statesman who tried to separate religion from state.Otherwise, as far as he lived he used to build an Islamic in the early New Order era although it fell down. Therewere an impression that he changed his state of mind in relation to the religion and state. He took Islam as abasis of regulating politic and government. This was showed from Hatta's effort in establishing Indonesian IslamicDemocratic Party with other muslem public figures. Looking at his background, the idea and the effort were not hisphase thought, but they were crystallization of his religious attitude that Hatta applied consistently.
