Stakeholder is a term, primarily used in finances, mostly in economies and trade, describing a group of people, company or an enterprise with a particular interest in the business. Mostly, stakeholders comprise of employees, third party institutions and suppliers. Beside this, the modern economy theory identifies additional important stakeholders such as the government, trade organizations and communities.

Will the Brexit ripple hit emerging markets such as India’s? What impacts will it leave behind? A former part of the British empire, India continues to enjoy a healthy economic, trade and cultural relations with the UK.

With New Delhi’s increasing reliance on the “soft power” particularly the nation’s vivid culture and values, have forced foreign policy experts of many nations to follow the same “model”, including those nations which followed “stick and stones”. Many prominent experts argue on the credibility of India’s rise to superpower, some give credit to trade and governance while some consider culture in the backdrop which has successfully linked with music, food, technology and Bollywood. Although, it is quite difficult to measure the extent of India’s “soft power”, or to understand as to which of these aforementioned factors are truly behind India’s success. With no clear factors available, is India ready to tackle challenges posed by its immediate neighbour China? Particularly, with New Delhi eyeing for a permanent seat in the Security Council, is India’s “softer diplomacy” enough to counter challenges posed by Pakistan and China?

Ignoring the importance of education has led to poor investment in capital in such economies hampering the necessary economic growth. Developing economies in the sub- Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia are few of the regions that lack necessary improvement in education. Since, the UN emphasis the need for education as a basic human right, one out of three in Sub Saharan Africa cannot read or write. In South-East Asia over 26.6% of the people are illiterate, which was earlier estimated to be 50% in 1990, but today, one out of four individual is unable to read and write. There are disparities recorded in least economic developed countries where as most of the developing economies are severely affected by illiteracy. However, many international development agencies are converging the gap of illiteracy, a firm political will and urgent address to reform will be needed to reinforce such extensive efforts.

It was, for the first time, UN’s acknowledgement to women’s situation during armed conflict and violent areas along with their crucial role in conflict resolutions, which now was on the agenda of the Security Council. It was a key step in addressing women right’s and gender equality in the United Nations agenda for peace and security. Moreover, the Resolution 1325 wasn’t the only document adopted by the UN, there were many other resolutions passed to address women’s security during conflict and acute violence. Also, United Nations established a dedicated organ, the UN Women aiming to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment establishing a platform for advocating issues of violence towards women, prevention of violence against women in pre-conflict, conflict and post-conflict zones.

However overall growth is important, not much of the areas have been making progress since the meeting. One third of women in the developing and the developed countries suffer from physical abuse. Every day, around 800 women die post giving birth to their child because of inadequate health care services. Hindrance in the BPfA is caused mainly at the national and regional levels, orthodox social norms and attitudes, poor political will, and poor monitoring frameworks. The one aspect that has pinned down the efforts of BPfA is “gender equality”. “Gender Equality does not only mean empowering women but also means empowering humanity and global development as a whole”, this is a concept, and many have failed to understand. It is a right time for us to “reconnect, regenerate commitment, charge up political will and mobilize the public” especially when we are talking about the advancement of women in the community. It is also important to note that the UN Women, one of the leading “women centric” agency of the United Nations plays a crucial role in ensuring effective role of the government in the BPfA.

After the industrial revolution in Europe, a new class of “workers” emerged. Disconnected from their families and villages they were completely dependent on their wages. As human’s advanced, comprehensive social security systems were developed covering all events, from birth till death and pre-natal and maternity benets, paid leave, medical care, pensions, unemployment benets, family allowances and old age pensions, etc.

India’s economic history can be divided into four different phases: 1947-1965, 1966-1980, 1981-1991, and post 1991. Each phase represents an economic policy vastly different from others. The era begins with the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru. Nehru was a strong believer of a stable socialist government that would control all major industries, borrowing many examples from the Soviet Union, most famously, the idea of 5 year plan, exclusively aimed to increase the production in industries followed by growth in agriculture sectors. Under the leadership of Nehru, India’s economy flourished phenomenally, mostly due to the presence of Congress party in the center and Nehru’s ideas and ability to lead people.

For decades we witnessed neck to neck competition between the two in every sphere, from sports to military powers.

Speaking of a developing economy, small to medium scale energy projects will mark the energy projects.
