Kameshwar Choudhary (ed.): Globalisation, Governance Reforms and Development in India, New Delhi, India Sage Publications 2007 ; fester Einband / hard cover; Schutzumschlag / dust cover; 1. Ed. ISBN: 978076193583
978076193583 New

Globalisation has emerged as a very powerful force affecting the whole world. In case of Third World Countries it is manifest in the introduction of a set of neoliberal reforms at the behest of multilaterals such as the World Bank and International Monetary fund under the tutelage of the trinity of advanced capitalist countries headed by u.s. representing the interests of global finance and corporates, but also with the cooperation of ruling regimes in many instances. Such reforms have been introduced in India starting with the BoP crises of 1991, which marks a clear shift in the model of development adopted in the country, from a state-directed model to a market-centred model. Globalisation amply benefits the privileged all over but adversely affects the marginalised peoples and countries in the world. This book provides a theoretico-conceptual overview of globalisation, and an analysis of state-level reforms, and the social, cultural and political dimensions of globalisation and reforms in India. This volume will be of much interest to researchers, teachers and students, The issues discussed in the volume will also draw the attention of civil society organisations and NGOs engaged in advocacy activities.

This latest edition also shows how different economic approaches are applied in practice with a new Part III Applications. New to the fourth edition: * New part III Applications includes 3 new chapters on mergers and acquisitions, hybrid forms (like joint ventures, business groups and franchising) and corporate governance. * Step by- step conceptual framework to explain the fundamental economic approach to organizations is updated to include coverage of the environment and institutions.*Heavier emphasis on institutional and evolutionary perspectives is carried through the text as well as greater coverage of the resource based view of strategy and the introduction of the concept of dynamic capabilities.
