The Economic Integration of SAARC
Economic growth today is a collective matter in a very significant way. Not even a nation, big or small, can think of going it alone anymore. In fact, the whole world has become so inter-linked that every event no matter how small or where it happens is having an instant worldwide effect. Earlier, the world had to deal with rising nationalism, and governments had to find ways to protect domestic industries from outside competition. Now, the world is increasingly dealing with globalization, and so governments have to promote the efficient management of domestic industries in order to withstand foreign competition. The term �globalization� may entail many things. From an economic point of view, globalization refers to the effects of extensive free trade among nations as well as the increase in the movement of capital and labor.

Younis Khan rejects ICL offer
Karachi: Star Pakistani batsman Younis Khan has rejected a lucrative offer made by the organisers of the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL). Younis said that he had rejected the offer because playing for the country was much more important to him than earning money. The former Pakistan vice-captain, who turned down the opportunity to lead his country after the World Cup, said he also didn't want to play in the league as it would clash with Pakistan's domestic season. "And I don't want to miss the domestic matches," he said. Younis is among several Pakistani players approached by the ICL organisers. While Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Asif and Shahid Afridi have turned down the chance to play in the Twenty20 tournament, others like Mohammad Yousuf, Abdul Razzaq, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Asim Kamal are still mulling over the offers made to them.
