India's Economic Transition: The Politics of Reforms

This reader, the third in the Critical Issues in Indian Politics series, discusses the politics and economics behind liberalization, and the impact of reforms on the political economy of India. In a crisp yet comprehensive introduction, the editor analyses statemarket relations in India from 1947 to the late 1980s, placing the reforms in context. Key contributions from Ashutosh Varshney, Jagdish Bhagwati, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Lloyd and Susanne Rudolph, Baldev Raj Nayar, and Rob Jenkins among others, focus on significant features of the post-reform era.
