I’m enjoying reading your blog.

Congratulations on making such impressive progress on the dissertation in such a short period of time! The topic sounds interesting.

If you had mentioned it earlier, I had a bunch of stuff I had used for a Masters paper during my Public Policy days. You can look it up on Google Scholar though if you wish but it might be too late. But good luck! I wish I could write 66% of my dissertation in two days… would graduate next month :)

Neha:

“My study is looking at the rise of Bangalore as an IT centre. Nothing earth shattering.”

An understanding of causation is pretty earth-shattering, even if in retrospect. Futures would be nothing if we did not understand the confluence of factors that made/ make something happen. So – as an interested party, one who did her doctoral work in causation and decision-making – I would say it would be pretty earth-shattering. At the end of it, you will know more about most mealy-mouthed-cliche-spluttering folk about the Bangalore phenomenon and you will understand more about causation than many development theoreticians might. Don’t hide your light under a bushel ;-)
