With the increasing waste production in urban areas, multiple technological solutions, models of waste governance and alternative practices of solid waste management have started acquiring momentum in Indian cities. Of the numerous solutions to this problem, waste to energy technology is emerging as an essential solution in India. Hence, this paper probes whether the emergence of waste to

management in Delhi, in the context of the wider political economy of environmental management in urban India. Specifically, it is concerned with (1) the processes that are involved in the prioritisation of particular types of urban waste management technological interventions, (2) The types of environmental, health and social justice issues that are formally recognized in these processes, and how and why others are unrecognised, (3) who gains and who loses from current interventions, and how people's understandings compare with those of local service providers and officials, and (4) Possible alternative waste management scenarios, institutional and regulatory arrangements that are emergent.

The potential of stem cell to change the face of medical treatment has brought it to the forefront of medical science in recent years. The present study analyzes the stem cell research output of India during 1990-2014 collected from the Scopus database. Some of the parameters used for analysis are publication output, publication share, growth rate, h-index, impact per paper, citation analysis, international collaboration and degree of collaboration, etc. The increasing significance of stem cell research was analyzed by ranking countries, institutions, authors, journals, etc. concerning total publication, their citation, and h-index. It is exciting to note that there has been notable growth in stem cell research publication from India. A total of 3964 papers were contributed by Indian authors during the study period, out of which 71.24% have been cited at least once and has a citation average of 9.27 citations per paper. Given the interdisciplinary and complex nature of the field, most of the research output is multiple authored and out of which more than one-third have internationally collaborated. The United States, which is the top most producing country, also the largest collaborative partner of India in stem cell research. The AIIMS and PlosOne are the most productive institution and journal respectively in this field.

The recent trade wars among the G7 countries may have begun to shift the world trading structure with significant consequences for international cooperation in the areas science and technology. International trade wars not only limit the access, through tariffs, to goods and services but also the technologies that embody those goods. Small developing countries in the Caribbean that has vested interest in the prosperity of the US, given their historical legacy, primary source of collaborative projects and the hub for Caribbean goods are likely to be the most affected. As the WTO agreements prevent the discrimination between trading partners, the surge in tariffs are not exclusive to China and is likely to be applied in developing countries. The ongoing tug-of-war between the US and China could have drastic implications for struggling Caribbean economies that see them as engines of growth and development. In this paper, we look at the relevance of CARICOM in progressing towards an innovative powerhouse for the Caribbean countries in an uncertain environment of post-Trump and post-Brexit.
