The Dairy Value Chain
(2013-07)
By tradition dairy farming has been a prestigious occupation in the fertile lands of the Indus basin. In Pakistan, the practice of rearing dairy animals remained a complementary activity to crop production.

Taking the union protests against the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) as a case study, this
research uses core concepts derived from social movement theory to analyse the ...

(2013-11-04)
Since its beginning in 1999, the Bologna Process has influenced various aspects of higher education in its member countries, e.g., degree structures, mobility, lifelong learning, social dimension and quality assurance.

Despite a decade of reforms, it somehow remained as a vague element and received low scholarly attention. This research addresses to this gap.
