“…This observation, which is certainly not restricted to the fishing activities, is not surprising and certainly common to a large number of developing countries. The capacity of central governments to levy taxes on formal economic activities is known to be much lower in developing countries than in developed countries (Ghatak, 1995). 14.…”

Presents the first regional-scale survey of traditional management systems operated within the Lake Chad Basin. The survey focused on the status and organization of the local (de facto) management systems and their interactions with the modern (de jure) regulations. The results show that fishing activities within the whole Basin are still largely under the control of the traditional local authorities. The few open-access fishing grounds are areas that traditional authorities have never controlled or water-bodies that they have had to "give up" in recent times due to the presence of armed groups. These areas are also areas where illegal taxation systems operated by non-legitimated governement agents have developed, essentially as a consequence of the remoteness and political instability of the whole Basin.

“…This can be supported by the influence of the rate of inflation in influencing the price of the indices. The rate of inflation is found to be important as it is claimed by Ghatak (1994) in countries that practice financial dualism, the existence of organized and non-organized financial sector in the economy. In addition, the unanticipated changes in money supply M1 are the only monetary aggregates that represented the money channel that had the correct coefficient sign in line with the economic theory.…”

The aim of this study is to find the relationship between the monetary transmission channels with the stock prices. The study utilizes the monthly data from 1990 to 2001 obtained from the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange Report and the monthly bulletin of the Central Bank of Malaysia. The result revealed that all the variables are non-stationary at the level form and stationary at the first difference. The Johansen Cointegration revealed that a long-run relationship does exist for the unanticipated changes in money supply, unlike the anticipated changes in money supply that only established a short-run relationship with stock prices. This is due to the level of monetization that is unable to eliminate the excess in the money market in the long run.

“…It is worth noting that, in support of the above arguments, Wang and Swanson (2008) cited economic development literature primarily from the 50s, 60s, and 70s: Harbison and Myers (1964), Lewis (1954), Schultz (1964), Adelman (1974), Rostow (1959Rostow ( , 1971Rostow ( , 1990, Bauer andWilson (1962), Fishlow (1965), Kuznets (1961), Myrdal (1944Myrdal ( , 1957Myrdal ( , 1968, Merton (1968Merton ( , 1988, Nelson (1956), Rosenstein-Rodan (1943), and others. Even when they cited more recent works- Basu (1997), Ghatak (1995), Ray (1998), and othersmost of these are a summarization of the earlier research. Contemporary work on economic development is almost nowhere to be found.…”

Wang and Swanson (2008) have provided a critique of the current state of the research and theory of national human resource development (NHRD). In this article, the authors provide a critique based on the following issues: insistence on a single paradigm of truth or reality, theory development methodology, the bounding process, the definitional process, scope of NHRD efforts, and reliance on economics (and only development economics).
