Forging national identity through iconic landscapes: Poetic cartography of Edwin Thumboo
Caldeira, N.
Landscapes, both natural and built, however timeless they may appear, like the evolving nature of identity, evolve, and even those few structures which are retained for heritage value are subject to periods of prominence in historical periods. As a practice in planning, design, management, and nurturing of the built and natural environment, landscape is closely connected to national identity. It is invested with cultural processes and is therefore, a discursive construct through mediations and meditations. It is not only a geographical but also an aesthetic concept produced through memories, visualizations, imaginations and myriad modalities such as painting, poetry, prose, photography and the like. Landscape becomes an affective bond between people and the land and is therefore, an icon of identity. This paper investigates how the evolving landscape of the city-state of Singapore reflects the evolving national identity of Singapore from being a Third-World shipping and manufacturing centre to being a Global city of finance, knowledge and innovation, on into the cyber present. It investigates how the evolution is reflected in the poems of the Singaporean poet, Edwin Thumboo, an eye-witness poet-cartographer who has lived through the times and has witnessed the momentous changes in the city-state.

Can fiscal transfers help India meet its SDG goals?
Andrade, Fernanda de Xavier; Mukhopadhyay, P.
This paper examines the possibility of using fiscal devolution in India to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. We propose alternative weights and criteria to see how allocation between states would change if the Finance Commission of India (FC) used a framework that incentivizes achievements in social and environmental outcomes. Two different proposals are examined-one where level values of the female-male ratio, female literacy rate and forest cover are used to decide allocations and another where incremental values are used. The advantage of the second proposal is that it reduces historical bias. We calculate the alternative allocation that would emerge using these proposals and compare it with the actual allocation for the last three Finance Commissions-XIII to the XV. We find that the reallocation among the states incentivizes better performers and also help India achieve the goals for sustainable development.
