This book assesses the impact of liberalization on practices of
government and relations between state and society. It is clear
that liberalization as state policy has complex forms of regulation
and deregulation inbuilt, and these policies have resulted in
dramatic increases in productivity and economic wealth but also
generated spectacular new forms of inequality between social
groups, regions, and sectors. Through a detailed examination of the
Indian state, the contributors - all experts in their respective
fields - explore questions such as: Have the new inequalities
resulted in greater social unrest and violence? How has the meaning
of citizenship changed? What will the long-term effects of regional
economic imbalances be on migration, employment, and social
welfare? Will increasing federalism result in new problems? Will
smaller governments be more effective in providing basic
necessities such as clothing, housing, food, water, and sanitation
to citizens? What does liberalization mean to Indians in cities and
villages, in small towns, and metropolises, in poor, middle class,
or wealthy homes? Are concepts like social capital,
decentralization, private enterprise, and grass-roots globalization
effective in analyzing the post-liberalization state, or are new
concepts needed? By focusing on what specifically has changed about
the state after liberalization in India, this volume will shed
light on comparative questions about the process of neoliberal
restructuring across the world. As such, it will be of interest to
scholars of a variety of disciplines, including sociology,
anthropology, political science, geography, international studies,
public policy, environmental studies and economics.
