According to the panel data analysis, the amount of government spending on healthcare has a positive effect on the gross domestic product (GDP) and gross national income per capita of the BRICS countries. Indicators of healthcare are positively related to GDP and GDP/capita. The exceptions are neonatal mortality and life expectancy at birth, both of which do not exhibit a statistically significant positive relation. The two dependent variables, GDP and GDP/capita, have a positive relation with the rate of population growth; however, GDP has a negative relation with inflation. When GDP and GDP/capita are used as dependent variables, the Hausman test indicates that the cross-section random-effect model is more significant than other models. Due to the positive relationship between GHE, GDP and GDP/capita, the government should play a major role in ensuring high-quality healthcare. Out-of-pocket expense increases in BRICS indicate a reduction in healthcare funds, limiting medical services for all citizens. There is a need to focus on healthcare infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142266337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this study seeks to delve deeper into the underlying factors shaping these trade effects, focusing specifically on Indian exports to the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN). This study posits that domestic institutional and infrastructural conditions play a pivotal role in influencing the impact of regulatory measures such as technical NTMs. By leveraging logistics and governance indicators to assess these conditions, the research adopts a novel two-stage analysis approach. Initially, the study quantifies the trade effects of technical NTMs, which subsequently serve as the dependent variable in the second stage. The findings uncover nuanced patterns specific to indicators and NTM categories, with a notable emphasis on the significance of importer (ASEAN) indicators over exporter (India) indicators. Moreover, this article introduces an innovative methodological framework that transcends conventional analyses of technical NTMs, aiming to pinpoint the precise factors driving their effects for targeted improvement strategies.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142266335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study analysed the changes in the environmental landscapes of Kuttanad, which presumably had contributed to the disease epidemiology. The changes in the landscapes in terms of water bodies, land utilization, agricultural practices and other anthropogenic interventions were comprehended by employing the geographic information system and remote sensing approaches. Further, through oral histories, the perceptions of the local inhabitants about the changes in the ecosystem and disease epidemiology were captured. In the study, substantial spatial changes were observed in the wetland during the period 1990–2017. The development initiatives have created serious environmental damage and pushed the wetland into a state of ecological fatigue. The narratives from the field survey attribute the changes in the environmental landscapes as factors that contributed to the epidemiology of climate-sensitive diseases. Infectious diseases, mostly fever-type, assume epidemic proportions during the monsoon and create a feeling of trepidation among people due to their fatal and contagious characteristics.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A high-modernist state commences ‘prescribing’ and ‘imposing’ to establish a ‘new society’, thus adhering to a tabula rasa (blank slate) approach in policies and planning. It denounces the past as a model to ameliorate the present, disregarding local conditions and knowledge, and perpetuating visual images that promise an alchemised future. In a typical spatial understanding of the state, the standard marker of growth is perceivably developing infrastructure. The article intends to do a spatial and temporal reading of the Colombo Port City (CPC) project, deemed to perceivably transform the Sri Lankan urban economic landscape, as a case study. The article conducted an ethnographic study of the project, locating it in Harvey’s ‘spatial fix’, Scott’s High Modernism and Guy Debord’s concept of spectacle to comprehend the larger spatial politics that an infrastructure project exhibits. Considering Colombo as a case study, the article shall also examine infrastructure’s political affect and how spatial reconfigurations rearrange government institutions as the infrastructure impacts and alters the nature of power. It will critically examine the modality of the investments in infrastructure, its internal politics and its much fetishized economic feasibility.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explores the unique geopolitical contexts of these maritime regions, addressing issues such as territorial disputes, resource competition, piracy and environmental concerns. The study examines the influence of external powers, including Russia, the EU, China and the USA, and their impact on regional dynamics. Utilizing a comparative analysis approach, the study examines the geopolitical dynamics, roles and effectiveness of BSEC and BIMSTEC in promoting economic integration, security collaboration and crisis response, along with the influence of external powers on these dynamics. The findings reveal the pivotal roles of both organizations in addressing maritime challenges, despite facing issues like economic disparity among members and geopolitical tensions. Key initiatives like joint naval exercises and security agreements have been effective in enhancing regional maritime security and stability. The study concludes by highlighting the need for strengthening organizational frameworks, enhancing transparency and integrating environmental considerations into maritime diplomacy, considering emerging trends like cybersecurity and the increasing role of non-traditional actors.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141368390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
