follows English
spelling, not
American (eg.
programme, not
program; labour,
not labour).
However, where
two forms are

such as analyse/analyze,
liberalisation /
liberalization,
one should be
consistently
followed
throughout the
paper.
8.Quotation
marks should ve
consistently
single, except
for a quote
within a quote:
eg. Sen summed
it up best by
saying: The
importance of
capital in the
production
process
notwithstanding,
a distinction
must be made
between
"foreign" and
"domestic"
capital.
