Much of this debate centres around the scope of the reforms, their progress and their impact on growth, poverty reduction and sectoral development. In contrast, this volume focuses on the various political dimensions of the Indian economic reform process. The contributors emphasize the political shaping of the reforms, the politics of implementation, and the impact of reforms on political structures and processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo major themes run through the book: the relationship between policy reforms and democratic politics; and the impact of reforms on the quality of governance. Bringing together both theoretical contributions and case studies pertaining to particular states or sectors, this volume provides insights into various important questions including:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow was a radical shift in policy possible in a democracy, where the opposition can easily mobilize resistance?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow can reforms be sustained in a context where the majority of the voters are poor and attracted by handouts, and where political parties are accustomed to attracting voters through populist policies?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDo the reforms contribute to more efficient and inclusive administrative and political governance, or do they lead to new forms of corruption, bureaucratic mismanagement and\/or undemocratic politics?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI INTRODUCTION: Introduction JOS MOOIJ\u003cbr\u003eThe Rhetoric of Disagreement in Reform Debates ACHIN CHAKRABORTY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eII REFORMS AND ELECTORAL DEMOCRACY: Economic Reforms and Changes in the Party System PRAKASH SARANGI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePopulism and Economic Reforms: The BJP Experiment in Uttar Pradesh SUDHA PAI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dilemma of Democracy: Economic Reforms and Electoral Politics in Andhra Pradesh K C SURI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIII REFORMS, GOVERNANCE AND THE STATE: Reforms and the Indian Administrative Service S K DAS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEconomic Reforms, the Power Sector and Corruption SUDHA MAHALINGAM\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eState versus Public Sector Profitability: Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation C RAMACHANDRAIAH and ARUN KUMAR PATNAIK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabour and Economic Reforms: Disjointed Critiques SUPRIYA ROYCHOWDHURY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;From Stealth to Aggression: Economic Reforms and Communal Politics in Gujarat DARSHINI MAHADEVIA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegional Inequalities in India: Pre- and Post-Reform Trends and Challenges for Policy AMARESH BAGCHI and JOHN KURIAN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Jos Mooij \/ Sage Publications \/ Paperback","offer_id":68153688326512,"sku":"15297","price":46.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/15297.jpg?v=1793912590","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-politics-of-economic-reforms-in-india","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
