relevant material of an essay.

[spiritless_conquest]

i would like to unleash a discussion here abt the quantitative aspect of essay.there come essays abt which material and relevant facts and figures r really in short supply..what to do with them in a situation where length of an essay is also considered indespensible? for example,there came a essay in 2006 FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN PAKISTAN..many candidates attempted this topic and burnt their finger..in my personal analysis,this sort of topic,highly particularized,doesn,t have a greater material becoz FDI inflow started in the beginning of 90s.
i hope readers get my point..i want u to please give ur coments about this aspect of topic and a full fledged discussion is necesary to clear the aprehensions abt the length of essay..secondly,is it really important to ink at least 14 or 15 sheets(one side of each sheet) in essay?

FDI essay was not that difficult but was not a child's play as well. One needed to write down it in a proper tone. But the problem is that essay paper is not that easy to hadle. You know it is the very first paper and you have to take the start with it. It needs appropriate hardwork and presence of mind.

A proper introduction and then desciprion of FDI was pivotal. FDI essay was to be written by starting from very start and coming to 90's era. Then one could hold discussions over the 10 years till 2000. FDI's proper elucidation could be done by considering the economic situation of the country in the last six years 2001-6. Pervaiz Musharraf's role was to be explored.

Major FDi countries for Pakistan were to be discussed. Well they are UAE, US, Saudi Araia, Netherlands, UK ad Switzerland. Telecom sector is the main acceptor of this investment. After explaining these all, one needed to elusidate the inflow of money and its utilization by and by.

A good epilogue with high hopes for future could make this essay animated to bits. Well technical terms of economics were to be employed in this essay.

I wrote on FDI in Pakistan some months back, and rightly said by spiritless conquest, i've very limited length of this work of mine. But now i think, if i re write it, i can come up with fairly good essay than this, coz it depends how effectively you expand it.

well.FDI IN PAKISTAN is just an instance to help others get the point i want to make..in retrospect,i also feel it was a manageable topic if one is used to keeping facts and figures in their memories and making comparisons with privatisation policies of other country..but,it was just one particular aspect of economic reforms of government and there are many more structural reforms like liberalisation of economy and deregulation of economy..if,for the sake of an argument,a topic DEREGULATION OF PAKISTANI ECONOMY was given to be attempted,how would one cope with it? because u don,t have much stuff on it to put..secondly,the issue of length needs to be dealt with..how much lengthy a "decent essay" should be?

DEREGULATION OF PAKISTANI ECONOMY:

1991-2000
2000-onwards

Current scenerio of Pakistan's economy

Country's condition
FDI
World bank, IMF, etc
Other rationales

Factors responsible for deregulation:
Poverty
Illetracy
Poitical instability
Lack of resources
Improper use of resources
Economic disabilities
Foriegn debts
National debts

Epilogue

---------

secondly,the issue of length needs to be dealt with..how much lengthy a "decent essay" should be?

Lenght should be b/w 15-20 pages. It is up to ur writing size too. Well normal writing size demands for 15-20 pages at most. It depends that which essay u r selecting. At times u select the essay which asks for a lot of elucidation coz of lack of facts and figures. Otherwise those essays which have fact and figures may need little length.

It is a fair outline of the given topic.but i would like to attempt to further add into the outline especially in current economic scenario and reasons for deregulation.
In my humble opinion the portion of an outline dealing with current economic state of affairs shall contain following points as well
(1) the performanance of manufacturing sector(industrial sector)
(2) performance of agricultural sector.
(3) foreign trade
(a) exports
(b)imports
and the portion pertaining to causes of deregulation shall contain following reasons as well.
(1) World Trade Organization
(2) meeting the conditions of International Financial Institues(IFIs)
(3) to balance trade deficit.
(4) attracting FDI.
i hope i would be guided on this.

Yeah you may explore other relevant stuff in the essay. The outline explored by you is also good but it is not through and through. U need to complement it.
