This book is the first major exploration of Indian political
economy using a constructivist approach. Arguing that India's
open-economy policy was made, justified, and continued on the basis
of the idea of openness more than its tangible effect, the book
explains what sustained the idea of openness, what philosophy,
interpretations of history, and international context gave it
support, justification, and persuasive force. Drawing on a wide
range of contemporary and historical sources, and going as far back
as the 19th century, the author reconstructs how Indian
policymakers have interpreted economic priorities, perceived
success and failure, and evaluated the destiny of their nation. By
the 1990s, their imperatives increasingly highlighted a sense of
rivalry, especially with China, and globalism, a desire to play a
strong role in world affairs. The book shows how a sense of
nationalist urgency was created through globalism and rivalry,
allowing policymakers to privilege international needs over
domestic political demands, replace economic independence with
interdependence as a priority, and ensure that the broad basis of
India's openness could not be challenged effectively even though
certain policies faced severe opposition. This book will be of
interest to those working on International Political Economy,
Globalization, Economic History, Public Policy, and South Asian
politics.
