7 Muslime und Christen in der Republik Indonesia [Muslims and Christians in the Republic of Indonesia] / von [by] Wendelin Wawer. - 1974. 326 p.

ISBN 3-515-02042-X

Bibliographie [bibliography] pp. 307-319, English summary pp. 321-326.

The small but very articulate Christian minority pleaded for secularism and found support among other strata of the Indonesian society. This aspect of Indonesia's constitutional and political history is the main topic of this work.
 

8 The Muslim Microcosm : Calcutta, 1918 to 1935 / by Kenneth McPherson. - 1974. VII, 162 p. ISBN 3-515-01992-8

Bibliography pp. 153-159, index pp. 160-162, 3 maps at the back of the volume.

The Muslims of Calcutta were mostly Urdu-speaking migrants from Northern India whose political outlook was determined by their origin. Bengali Muslim leaders like Fazlul Huq emerged only at a later stage and acquired political power when they could appeal to a Bengali rural electorate. Calcutta thus remained a microcosm for quite some time which reflected general Indian problems rather than those of Bengal.

11 The position of Indian women in the light of legal reform : a socio-legal study of the legal position of Indian women as interpreted and enforced by the law courts compared and related to their position in the family and at work  / by Angeles J. Almenas-Lipowsky. - 1975. IX, 217 p.

ISBN 3-51502050-0

The legal position of Indian women has been greatly improved by comprehensive legislation in independent India, but the actual attainment of the respective rights is still a problem. This sociological study which also includes an analysis of leading court cases contributes to a better understanding of such problems.
 

12 Zur Mobilisierung ländlicher Arbeitskräfte im anfänglichen Industrialisierungsprozess : ein Vergleich der Berufsstruktur in ausgewählten industrienahen und industriefernen Gemeinden Nordindiens [On the mobilization of rural labourers during the initial process of industrialization : a comparison of the labour structure in selected areas near to and far away from industrial centres in North India] / von [by] Erhard W.

Economic change in rural India has cut the ties between traditional village artisans and their clients. These clients prefer buying goods and services in the market rather than to support local artisans throughout the year. The artisans, however, do not find industrial employment to the same extent. This causes problems which are examined in this study on the basis of field work in some Panjabi villages.
 

13 Die Sozialisation tibetischer Kinder im soziokulturellen Wandel, dargestellt am Beispiel der Exiltibetersiedlung Dhor Patan (West Nepal) [The socialization of Tibetan children in social and cultural change, taking the settlement of exiled Tibetans in Dhor Patan (West Nepal) as an example] / von [by] Gudrun Ludwar. - 1975. XI, 209 p. ISBN 3-515-02063-2

This study attempts to present the socio-cultural system of an exile group of Tibetans in West Nepal from the perspective of socialization, the process of transmission and adoption of socio-cultural values. The author stresses the minimal significance of Buddhist beliefs in this process and shows that even under the changed circumstances of life in exile, the value system is mainly shaped by the socio-economic and political conditions of Tibetan nomad life.
 

14 Die Steuerung der Direktinvestitionen im Rahmen einer rationalen Entwicklungspolitik [Controlling direct investment within a rational development policy] / von [by] Leo Rubinstein. - 1975. XI, 260 p. ISBN 3-51502064-0

15 Ein erweitertes Harrod-Domar-Modell für die makroökonomische Programmierung in Entwicklungsländern : ein wachstumstheoretischer Beitrag zur Entwicklungsplanung [An extended Harrod-Domar-model for macro-economic programming in developing countries] / von [by] Axel W. Seiler. - 1975. VII, 230 p. ISBN 3-515-02092-6

14 Abb. [graphs], Literaturverzeichnis [bibliography] pp. 209-227, English summary pp. 229-230.

The shortcomings of models of economic growth - their emphasis on equilibrium and their failure to include such factors as government interference, external relations and monetary influences - have led many economists to believe that they are of no use for development planning. In this study, however, an attempt is made to formulate an "extended Harrod-Domar model" which incorporates recent scientific findings in growth theory and might thus be helpful in macro-economic programming for developing countries.

Bibliography pp. 105-124.

Islamic studies tend to concentrate on the Arabic origins of this religion rather than on Southern Asia in which most Muslims live.

The author of this study, who was a member of the Dhanbad Research Project, examines the interrelations between wage policy and economic development in developing countries in general and in India with particular refer-ence to the Indian coalfield. He shows how a policy of wage fixation which was adopted for the Indian coal industry as early as 1947, led to a rise in real wages for the mine workers and to a more equal distribution of income, but also to a considerable rise in the price of coal and coal products.
