Throughout this internship, I, Abhi Pasupula, have worked with my internship mentor, Barry Federici, in order to help him start up a new service. This service is targeted specifically towards veterans and their paths in their lives after they retire from the military. The service is split up into two categories, those being Jobs and Veteran Benefits. Jobs entailed creating and implement a job board into our website for retired veterans to search for. Veteran benefits showcase a list of benefits that veterans are eligible for, divided up by Federal Benefits, State Benefits, Local Benefits, and a page for all available benefits. For the Job Board page on the website, we got into contact with a job board service known as Hiring Opps and spent many days working through the features and seeing which features would serve us the best for the website. In addition, we set up a Sandbox so that we could physically see the service in action. The benefits required more menial work, such as compiling the list of total benefits and categorizing them into states with links that lead to the state Veteran Benefits commission for more information. Once organized, the benefits were organized into 4 sections, each section having its own page on the website. Both of these websites were connected back to the original website, which served as a homepage for all the services. The homepage also had services to meet with my mentor, Mr. Federici. Working on both of these websites and services really opened my eyes to the professional world of Software Development, where there was so much more apart from just programming. Similar to this internship, the real world will require me to be able to voice my thoughts as well as put them down on paper and be able to explain them well to others, something that I believe this internship set me up for very well. ; https://digitalcommons.imsa.edu/intern_reports_2021/1004/thumbnail.jpg

Pakistan has adopted a neoliberal regime to open the economy
to global competition and reduce the role of the state. This directional
change brought increased flow of overseas remittances, speculative
investment, and consumerism. Consequently, the economy in mid-2000s grew
but commodity-producing sector contracted. Public sector spending has
been falling, especially on social sectors. There are inadequate
provisions for social security and employment based income guarantees.
However, this growth and stability was short lived and there is now a
fragile state and slowing economy. In the absence of an effective
regulatory role of the state, and due to the failure in developing a
long-term strategy to harness the labour force potential, there is a
huge informal sector existing side by side with the formal economy.
Almost 22 million of the employed labour force is earning its livelihood
in streets and the government has no record of it. The informal workers
can be categorised as self-employed workers and wage workers, doing
diversified jobs from petty traders to small producers and from rickshaw
driver to shoe shiners. It is difficult to measure the value added
contribution of the informal sector in Pakistan. Indirect estimation
approaches on the basis of employment and hours worked have been used to
estimate the contribution of informal economy. For instance, Idris
(2008) estimates the share at 36.8 percent of GNP, which is significant.
Arby, Malik and Hanif (2010) measured the size of informal economy in
Pakistan through a monetary approach. They find that the size has
declined considerably.

This book explores the early work and activities of Joan Robinson that focused on economic development within underdeveloped countries, in particular India before independence. By analysing the style of Robinsons thinking and economic analysis, and based on the works of Indian contemporaries, parts of The British Crown and the Indian States previously unattributed to her are seen to exhibit her preoccupation with poverty, backwardness, unemployment, the population problem, international trade, and the role of the state. Through keeping in mind Robinsons later work, the development of her ideas can be reflected upon, alongside critical perspectives. It also reveals the beginnings of her role as a public intellectual. This book aims to shed new light on Joan Robinsons work on development and to provide insight to an overlooked part of her research. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought, development economics and economic history. Pervez Tahir is President of the Council of Social Sciences, Pakistan. A PhD in Economics from Cambridge, he held the Joan Robinson Memorial Lectureship there in 1990 and Mahbub ulHaq Chair at GCU, Lahore. He served as Chief Economist of Planning Commission of Pakistan and Chairman, Bank of Punjab. .

Terrorism, radicalization and violent extremism dominate sociological, political and cultural concerns in today's polarized social and political world. However, the role of governments and issues relating to state terrorism and the counter-terror state remain important considerations. This book presents an understanding of the concept of Countering Violent Extremism from a critical terrorism studies perspective using case studies from different countries while examining the issues it raises. Extremism and violence do not emerge in a vacuum – nor do the policies that counter these concerns. There are no simple solutions to violent extremism but the fixation on ideology can do more harm than good.

Since the 1970s, there have been three challenges to traditional, homogeneous 'national' identities across the Western world: political & socioeconomic inequality; neoliberal globalization; & more diverse, multicultural societies. As in the US & elsewhere in Western Europe, the decline of an old, masculinized national identity has now begun to open a new, dark era for Britain. Ever since the 'war on terror' was added to the mix, 'others' in Britain have been brutally demonized. Muslims, routinely presented as the source of society's ills, are subjected to both symbolic & actual violence. Deep-seated racialized norms amplify the isolation & alienation impeding Muslim integration. Both these 'left-behind' Muslims & white-British groups who perceive themselves as the true nation are under pressure from ongoing geopolitical concerns in the Muslim world, as well as widening divisions at home.
