• Return to India

The boulevard trees have grown so high they form an urban forest that rivals Winnipeg's. The traffic circles are busy at all hours now. I wouldn't ride a bike around them unless I were suicidal. He took us to the Rajghat (the site of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation), the Gandhi Museum, and Jama Majid, the largest and most beautiful mosque in India. In between we had a wild ride through the teeming narrow streets of the Muslim market. I sense the dignity and civility of Sri Kkan and his pride in India's long and largely peaceful struggle for independence are somehow related.

• Anthropology and the Changing World: How Can Anthropologists Serve Humanity?

My principal objective in this paper is to delineate how anthropologists can understand and help solve human problems emerging from the global change. In this paper I will focus on three major anthropological domains.

Secondly, I will assess emerging development problems in Bangladesh with a critical anthropological lens, considering how anthropological viewpoints can contribute to solving these problems. In other words, I will contextualize how anthropological ...

• Environmental Targets &Amp; Policies in China: Effectiveness and Challenges

This paper provides an overview of environmental policies and their effectiveness in China. Analysis is made with respect to the performance during the 10th five-year plan (2001-2005) and the new environmental targets for the 11th five-year plan (2006-2010). With the establishment of a comprehensive system of policies for environmental protection, China has succeeded in reducing the rate of environmental deterioration as compared to the growth of the economy. However, China failed to meet the environmental targets set in its 10th five-year plan and the targets set in the 11th five-year plan appear overly ambitious. The challenges China faces in the future are unprecedented in terms of scale and intensity. In addition, China is aware of global environmental issues and positive in joining...
