ESSAY
Making
of a subcontinental fiasco
The dream of linking the rivers of India is an
old one. However, while the proposals of the past
were discarded as being impractical, the Government
of India’s latest proposal has been feted
in many quarters as the answer to the country’s
water problems. An assessment of the river linking
project and its possible consequences.

Aid,
expatriates and the Afghan economy
The reconstruction of the Afghan economy hinges on the

institutions of state and the economic space within
which they can pursue a national development agenda.
But what is the reality of aid-supported development
in the country? Is the present model sustainable ?
