As part of the progress, within one and half years’ time, the members of the steering committee set up by constitutional assembly, presented the interim proposals on the new constitution. Impressive progress was made by the government, yet the task of moving towards a new constitution experienced a deadlock and had to be discontinued. This article examines constraints experienced by the National Unity Government during 2015 and 2019 that at some point sabotaged the project of constitution-making. By utilizing the insights of Jon Elster in this regard, this qualitative study finds that political parties serving at both constitutional assembly and parliament have influenced the progress of the constitution-making and contributed to its failure. This study reveals that group interest and permanent passion (the loyalty to their own ethnic population) have encouraged certain groups and factions within the constitutional assembly and the parliament to wield it as a tool of political capital. Therefore, Government of Sri Lanka should rethink the parliament serving as constitutional assembly and adopt compulsory equilibrium between publicity and secrecy.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41485027","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}

Initially, the study used the panel unit root test to identify whether the variables are stationary or not. Subsequently, by using cointegration test, a long-run association among the variables was seen. Finding a long-run relationship, ‘fully modified ordinary least square’ method has been applied to examine the impact of remittances and other explanatory variables on the output per capita of Asian nations. The coefficient of remittances being positive and statistically significant implies that remittances enhance growth in these countries. Inflows of remittances to the Asian region are abundant and, considering the present trend of migration, it is likely to grow. To maximize the developmental effects of these inflows, developing pro-remittances in formal public and private infrastructure are a crucial policy target for governments in the region. Moreover, in addition to conventional determinants of growth like investment in human and physical capital, trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), Asian countries can increase their growth by mobilizing the remittances.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47949642","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 success of Indian information technology (IT) has changed perception of globe about India and has captured the attention of the globe as it seems a paradox that a developing economy is emerging as a global hub for software exports. In the past three decades, the contribution of the Indian IT industry to national income, employment generation and offsetting the current account deficit is remarkable. In this consideration, the present study is an attempt to analyse the technical efficiency of the IT industry of India during the period 2000–2016 by applying panel data stochastic frontier analysis approach. The study reveals that foreign capital, age and profit ratio have a significant impact on mitigating the technical inefficiency of the IT industry while the research and development (R&D) expenditure has turned out statistically insignificant in determining efficiency. Indian IT industry is mostly driven by service exports which are not survivable in the long run. The study suggests that the Indian IT industry has to transform itself from low value-added to high value-added, from service-driven to product-driven.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49185481","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}

Since migration has been studied academically, the ‘remittance equals cash’ idea has dominated other types of remittances. This study focuses on in-kind remittances, which are transfers of goods and services sent by migrants (other than money) from their destination country. We examined the literature using content analysis. The research investigates how a nation takes shape through the injection of remittances in kind (RK) brought by ‘migrant populations’ of both origins and destinations, using empirical and theoretical evidence. RK are worth considering for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is that they play an essential part in international collectivist development. Second, they highlight the societal effects of migration. Third, they have a chance of gaining public support. With great transformative power, RK has the capacity to alter a nation’s economy, values and lifestyle. This article establishes for the first time, by re-conceptualizing conventional wisdom, that the major development paradigm shift that has occurred in Asia’s economies over the decades has been largely due to the contribution of RK brought and sent to by individuals such as Gandhi in India, Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, Shinawatra in Thailand, Jose Rizal in the Philippines and Suu Kyi in Myanmar. We conducted qualitative research and relied heavily on secondary data sources. This article delves into a fresh idea about migration and remittances. This is a new addition to the migration and development scholarship.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47981022","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 conceptual model has been developed from TPB with additional factors linking green behaviour. A quantitative research method has been adopted. The data is gathered from a survey which has been administered by distributing questionnaires to 280 green consumers in Kuala-Lumpur, Malaysia. The data has been processed vis-à-vis the assessment of measurement and structural model using SmartPLSver3.0. The study contributable examines the role of predictive factors and how it influences green behaviour. Perceived behavioural control (PBC) and attitude dimensions are included as suggested by TPB. The results show that attitude and green culture positively influence green behaviour in TPB; whereas, PBC and awareness show no influence. The study shows the path to translate green culture and attitude to validate the TPB model. While the findings on green culture conform earlier studies, and indicate for a mixed collectivist society like Malaysia; where people showcase their belief while embracing green behaviour. The study further provides an insight to policymakers on how to increase awareness and improve progressive pedagogy on green behaviour.","PeriodicalId":41791,"journal":{"name":"Millennial Asia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47334940","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}
