The need to understand regional variation in politics and political
economy, and how these have contributed to different developmental
outcomes across various parts of India, remains pressing. It was
suggested in the early 1960s that in India the central government
was largely under the control of a national capitalist class, while
the states were dominated by landed interests. Does such a
formulation hold ground today? With increasing political
mobilization among lower classes and castes and the diffusion of
economic power to the state level after the reforms, how can
variation in regional development be characterized? This volume
aims to answer these questions by studying aspects of
macro-economy, land, labour and employment from a variety of
analytical and disciplinary perspectives. It offers rich analyses
of economic growth viewed through the lenses of caste, regional
politics and public investment, while also looking at long-term
trends in employment and wages in the public sector, and the
consequences of legal and policy reform.
