The paper discusses the procedures of editional textual criticism directly related to the quality of the translation of a folklore text into another language. The quality of the basic text to be translated depends on the skill and care of the person who transcribes the audio recording. Er-rors in this textual procedure can lead to distortion of the meaning of the text. The primary (field) handwriting almost always requires processing without introducing unnecessary elements into the text. A problem for a textologist is that many minority languages do not have normative graphics and even an approved, generally accepted alphabet. Another side of the same problem is the publication of texts recorded or previously published in a different spelling. In many dialects, the same or similar words may have different meanings, may differ stylistically. As pertains to the loan words, not only is it imperative to comment on borrow-ings in editional textual work but also to check their meaning. The distortions, intentional or involuntary, can affect the entire model of the world, the system of traditional ideas of the people expressed in the folklore text. A necessary procedure is the final verification of the original text with both audio recording and with other similar texts of the same folklore tradition. The author comes to the conclusion that an attentive attitude to the described stages of editional textual work can significantly improve the translation of a folklore text.

Urbanization in the South Asia Region (SAR) stood at 34% (2014) and is relatively sluggish when compared to that of the World at 54%. The World Urbanization Prospects (2014) and World Bank Report (2016) reveals that the future urbanization globally will be concentrated in Asia and predominantly in the select countries of SAR - Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. The chapter analyses the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the select countries, which are indicative of the quality of life of citizens, benchmarking it with that of Asia and the world. The analysis reveals the slow, messy and hidden nature of urbanization in the region which is required to be addressed. The conclusions recommend large investment and policy imperatives which should bring about sustainable urbanization ensuring basic urban services resulting in improved demographics, Human Development Indices and other socio-economic characteristics of the people in the region.

Mr President, Distinguished Delegates, Excellencies, Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen: Assalam-o-Alaikum. The Annual Conference of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists has traditionally provided the people of Pakistan—both practising economists and ordinary citizens—with a forum to debate in a rigorous analytical framework the major economic issues facing the country. In this context, the theme of the current conference “Growth, Poverty and Decentralisation” is particularly appropriate as Pakistan begins the 21st century. Many important issues will be discussed by the honourable participants during the Conference and an excellent start reflecting the quality of the debate has been made by the paper just presented by Dr Kemal. I, on my part, would like to take this opportunity to talk about Pakistan’s economy in an overall poverty elimination perspective and particularly the potential and challenges facing it in this regard. As a starting point, a summary of the potential of the Pakistan economy is in order. First, Pakistan is the home of the oldest and largest integrated land and water systems in the world. The world’s other old river basins—the Nile and the Tigris/Euphrates—have remained relatively minor, while Pakistan’s Indus Basin is still vital and robust. Last year, Pakistan’s record wheat crop again showed the world the potential of the Great Indus Food Machine.

This chapter is based on different aspects of working of the public governance system in India as well as certain measures to improve the quality of the democratic governance system in the country. Good governance is a constitutional right of the people of India, states Dr Singhvi in his oration. Dr Singhvi was a great advocate of good governance and decentralization. He believed that small states are vehicles of good governance in the country. We have finally opted out of what was derisively called the Hindu rate of growth. We have a vision 2020, a vision of growth and strength, but will our democratic governance deliver on that vision? If our pravasis could do it in other countries why can we in partnership with them and the entrepreneurs around the world do it in India?

In the United Kingdom, the NHS is considered the proudest achievement of modern society and continues to enjoy satisfaction ratings higher than the Royal Family. The NHS and the quality of healthcare is inextricably linked to the British national consciousness and character. Yet the United Kingdom is going through tectonic challenges and changes as we face Brexit and find our new place in the world order. Naturally, this affects the NHS and the people who work for it. While we have four similar yet distinct health systems across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the rest of this chapter concentrates solely on the English NHS. In this very current chapter, Mark Britnell illustrates the problems that the British healthcare system faces as a result of Brexit. He also looks at the NHS in relation to national identity, economic growth, and quality of care.

The Journal has published several articles critical of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. These articles have shown the damage caused by the neoliberal policies advocated by these agencies to the health and quality of life of the people in countries where such policies are carried out. Published here are excerpts of a speech given by Joseph Stiglitz, senior economist of the World Bank, in which he finally recognizes the damage these policies have caused in Russia, where life expectancy has fallen quite dramatically during the years of neoliberal reform. The question triggered by his speech is why the World Bank continues its neoliberal policies.
