How can industrial production be managed without the guidance of
the state? Adnan Naseemullah discusses industrial development in a
new era of drastically constricted state capacity, from the
perspective of the manufacturing firm. India's manufacturing
economy has been growing after state promotion has receded. How,
then, does Indian manufacturing develop in this context?
Naseemullah argues that Indian firms must create production
structures themselves, investing in networks of capital and labor
without signals from above. Depending on manufacturers'
backgrounds, these relationships are based either on formal rules
or through personal ties, creating a patchwork of institutions that
crosscut region and sector. As a result, many firms have been able
to regain some certainty for investment, but at the cost of
national coherence and the possibility of broader transformation.
As a mirror case, this book also explores Pakistan's industrial
trajectories, in which similar dynamics suggest the broader
applicability of this framework.
